Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember your preferences and actions. They're standard technology across the web, but that doesn't mean you have to accept all of them.
On energyinsightiq.com, we use cookies to remember your learning progress, keep you logged in, and understand how people use our financial education resources. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work at all. Others help us improve the experience but aren't technically required.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They remember your login session, maintain security, and allow you to navigate between pages without losing your place. We can't disable these—without them, core features simply wouldn't work. They expire when you close your browser or after a set security period.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like language preference or whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make return visits smoother but aren't required for basic site operation. If you reject them, you'll still access all content, just with a more generic experience.
Analytics Cookies
We track which pages get visited most, how long people spend reading different lessons, and where users tend to drop off. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. The data is aggregated—we're not watching individual users, just looking at patterns across hundreds of visits.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to show relevant educational content or program announcements. They're used by advertising platforms to build profiles of interests. You can decline these entirely without affecting your ability to learn from our materials.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Clicking the button above removes all tracking, analytics, and marketing cookies from your browser. Essential cookies that keep the site working will remain. Your choice is saved locally and respected on future visits.

How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser—usually within minutes. Persistent cookies might stick around for months or even a year, depending on their purpose.
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close the browser
- Functional cookies: Typically last 6-12 months to remember your preferences
- Analytics cookies: Usually expire after 24 months of inactivity
- Marketing cookies: Can persist for up to 18 months unless you clear them
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use for analytics or content delivery. These organizations have their own privacy policies—we don't control how they handle data once it leaves our site.
Common third parties you might encounter: Google Analytics for tracking site usage, video hosting platforms if we embed educational content, and advertising networks if you haven't opted out. Each of these services can place cookies on your device through our site.
Your Rights and Choices
You're in control here. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or pick and choose through your browser settings. Declining cookies won't prevent you from accessing our educational content—though some personalization features might not work.
If you're in a region with specific data protection laws, you likely have additional rights around how your information is collected and used. Check your local regulations to understand what protections apply to you.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when we add new tools or change how we track site usage. Significant changes will be posted prominently, but it's worth checking back occasionally to see what's current. The date at the top shows when we last revised this document.
