Last updated: March 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience on learnpluza.com. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies to enhance how our financial education platform serves you.
These technologies work behind the scenes to make your learning journey smoother. When you return to our budgeting courses or financial planning resources, cookies help us recognize your device and restore your progress, preferred settings, and customized content recommendations.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are absolutely necessary for learnpluza.com to function properly. They enable core features like secure login, course navigation, and maintaining your session while you explore our financial education content. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your learning dashboard or complete interactive exercises.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences to personalize your experience. They store settings like your preferred currency display, language preferences, and which budgeting tools you use most frequently. This helps us tailor content specifically to your financial learning goals.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our educational content. They help us identify which budgeting lessons are most popular, where users might be struggling, and how we can improve our financial education materials. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests to show you relevant financial education opportunities across the web. They help us reach people who might benefit from our budgeting basics courses and ensure our educational content reaches those genuinely interested in improving their financial literacy.

Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies might affect your experience on learnpluza.com. For instance, blocking functional cookies could reset your course progress, while disabling essential cookies might prevent you from logging into your account or accessing premium financial education content.
Mobile App Data Collection
When you use the Learnpluza mobile app for budgeting education, we collect similar information through mobile-specific technologies. This includes device identifiers, app usage analytics, and crash reporting data that helps us improve the mobile learning experience. You can control these settings through your device's privacy options.
Our mobile app also uses local storage to cache educational content, allowing you to access certain budgeting lessons offline. This data remains on your device and helps reduce data usage when reviewing financial concepts you've previously studied.
Data Retention and Security
We retain cookie data for different periods depending on its purpose and type. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years. We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data to maintain only what's necessary for providing quality financial education services.
All collected data is protected using industry-standard security measures, including encryption during transmission and secure storage protocols. We conduct regular security audits to ensure your information remains protected while you focus on improving your financial literacy through our platform.
