Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
What This Policy Covers
This page explains how firely-pulsewave.com uses tracking technologies to improve your experience while visiting our site. We're being upfront about what gets collected and why it matters for our educational platform.
When you browse our financial analysis learning resources, certain technologies help us understand what's working and what needs improvement. Think of it as feedback that happens quietly in the background.
Understanding Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that live in your browser. They remember things like your language preference or whether you've visited before. Most websites use them—and honestly, the internet would be pretty clunky without them.
Besides cookies, we use similar tech like web beacons and pixel tags. These help us see which pages get attention and which ones people skip. It's not about watching you specifically—it's about patterns that help us build better learning materials.
Here's something worth knowing: Our tracking focuses on educational content performance. We want to see if our financial analysis tutorials actually help people learn, not track your personal browsing habits across the web.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. Without them, you couldn't navigate between lessons or submit practice exercises. They're the foundation that makes everything else work.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences? That's these cookies doing their job. They store things like your preferred view settings or where you left off in a learning module.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which tutorials get completed versus which ones people abandon halfway through. It tells us when our content misses the mark.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant information about upcoming programs. If you've been reading about budgeting basics, we might highlight our intermediate budgeting course launching in autumn 2025.
What Gets Tracked and Why
We collect data about how you interact with our learning materials. Which pages you visit, how long you stay, whether you download resources—that kind of thing.
Session Information
When you start browsing our site, a session cookie activates. It tracks your journey through different pages during that visit. Once you close your browser, that session ends. Pretty straightforward.
Learning Progress
If you're working through our financial analysis modules, we track your progress so you can pick up where you stopped. Nobody wants to restart a lesson they already finished.
Content Performance
We measure which explanations resonate with learners. If everyone bounces off a particular concept page, that's our signal to rewrite it with clearer examples.
- Page views and time spent on each section
- Downloads of practice worksheets and guides
- Navigation patterns through learning modules
- Search queries within our resource library
- Form submissions for program inquiries

We review our data retention practices regularly. If we're holding onto something we don't actively use, we delete it.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies come from external services we use to run the site. Our analytics provider sets cookies to measure traffic patterns. Our hosting platform uses them for security purposes.
We're selective about third-party tools. Before adding any external service, we check their privacy practices. But yeah, using our site means you're interacting with a few trusted partners beyond just us.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We can't control what they do with data, but we can choose not to work with services that feel sketchy.
Your Rights Regarding Data
You can request information about what data we've collected through cookies. You can ask us to delete it. You can opt out of non-essential tracking entirely.
Exercising these rights is straightforward. Send us an email explaining what you want, and we'll handle it within a reasonable timeframe—usually a week or two depending on the complexity.
We're based in South Korea but our educational content serves an international audience. Privacy regulations vary by region, so we aim to respect the highest standards regardless of where you're accessing from.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We might add new features that require different tracking approaches. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and let you know if anything significant shifted.
Major changes get announced through our site. Minor tweaks like clarifying existing practices might not warrant a big announcement, but the updated version will always be available here.
