What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember your preferences, track activity, and provide a better browsing experience.
Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help our platform remember who you are and what you're working on. When you return to Melixo, these files allow us to pick up where you left off in your investment education journey.
Most modern browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your settings to decline them if you prefer. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect your ability to access certain features on our platform.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to create a seamless learning environment for our seminar participants. Here's what they help us accomplish:
Essential Platform Functions
Some cookies are necessary for our platform to work properly. They enable core functions like secure login, seminar access, and progress tracking. Without these, you wouldn't be able to navigate between sessions or save your work.
Learning Experience Enhancement
We use cookies to remember your preferences and settings. This includes your timezone selection, video playback quality, and interface customizations. These details help us provide a consistent experience every time you log in.
Performance Monitoring
Analytics cookies help us understand how participants interact with our seminars. We track which topics generate the most engagement, where learners typically pause, and which resources prove most valuable. This data guides our content improvement efforts.
Types of Cookies We Use
Different cookies serve different purposes on our platform. Here's a breakdown of the categories we employ:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core functionality, authentication, and security features required for platform operation | Session / 1 year |
| Performance | Collect anonymous usage data to help us understand how participants engage with content | 2 years |
| Functionality | Remember your preferences, settings, and choices to personalize your experience | 1 year |

Session Cookies
These temporary cookies exist only while you're actively using our platform. They disappear when you close your browser and are essential for maintaining your login state during a seminar session.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device between visits. They help us recognize you when you return, remember your progress, and maintain your preferences across multiple sessions. Most persistent cookies expire after one to two years.
Third-Party Cookies
Our platform integrates with trusted third-party services that may place their own cookies on your device. We work only with established providers who maintain strong privacy standards.
Analytics Providers
We use analytics services to understand how participants interact with our seminars. These tools collect anonymous data about page views, session duration, and feature usage. The insights help us identify areas where our content can be clearer or more engaging.
Video Hosting Services
Many of our investment analysis demonstrations use embedded video content. The hosting platforms may set cookies to track playback preferences and ensure smooth streaming across different devices and connection speeds.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies. While we carefully select partners who respect user privacy, we recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they handle data.
Your Cookie Choices
You control how cookies work on your device. Most browsers give you options to accept, reject, or delete cookies based on your comfort level.
Browser Settings
Every major browser includes cookie management tools. You can typically find these in the privacy or security section of your browser settings. Options usually include:
- Blocking all cookies from all websites
- Blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies
- Clearing cookies when you close your browser
- Creating exceptions for specific sites you trust
- Receiving alerts before cookies are stored
Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you're free to restrict cookies, doing so may limit your experience on our platform. You might encounter issues with:
- Staying logged in between seminar sessions
- Saving your progress through course materials
- Accessing interactive elements like discussion forums
- Receiving personalized content recommendations
- Using certain platform features that require state management
We design our seminars to be as functional as possible even with restricted cookie settings, but the experience works best when essential cookies are enabled.

As our platform evolves and privacy standards change, we update this cookie policy accordingly. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active participants through email and display a notice on the platform.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially after we announce updates. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently modified the content.
