Cookie & Tracking Technology Policy
Understanding how NexaGen Portal uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your learning experience while respecting your privacy choices.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
Current Status: Cookies Accepted
Clicking this button will remove all tracking, analytics, and marketing cookies from your browser. Essential cookies required for site functionality will remain active. You can change this preference at any time by returning to this page.
What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help our platform remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our educational content.
At NexaGen Portal, we use cookies to make your experience smoother. They remember which financial modeling courses you were viewing, keep you logged into your account, and help us understand which educational materials work best for our community of analysts.
We're transparent about this: some cookies are essential for the platform to work properly, while others help us improve your experience or measure how effective our educational content is. You have control over the non-essential ones.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the platform running. They handle your login sessions, remember your course progress, and ensure security features work properly. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your learning materials or submit assignments.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like language settings, display options for financial charts, and which tools you use most frequently. They make returning to the platform feel familiar and personalized.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which course modules are most helpful, where students might be struggling, and how to improve our content. They tell us things like how long people spend on different lessons or which practice exercises get completed most often.
Marketing Cookies
These track whether you came from an advertisement or partner site, and they help us understand which promotional efforts bring value to prospective students. They may also be used to show relevant course recommendations based on your interests.
Detailed Cookie Information
Here's a breakdown of the specific cookies you might encounter on NexaGen Portal. This list reflects what we're using as of March 2025:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| nexagen_session | Maintains your logged-in state and protects your account security | Session (deleted when browser closes) | Essential |
| user_preferences | Stores your display settings and interface preferences | 1 year | Functional |

| learning_analytics | Tracks engagement with specific course materials and exercises | 90 days | Analytics |
| referral_source | Records how you found our platform to measure marketing effectiveness | 30 days | Marketing |
We regularly review and update this list. Some cookies may expire sooner if you clear your browser data or log out manually.
Third-Party Cookies and Services
Sometimes cookies come from services we integrate with rather than directly from NexaGen Portal. For example, if we embed a video tutorial from a hosting platform, that service might set its own cookies.
Third-Party Services We Work With
- Google Analytics for understanding website traffic and user behavior patterns across our educational platform
- Video hosting platforms that deliver course lectures and tutorials through embedded players
- Payment processors that handle secure transaction processing for course enrollments
- Email service providers that power our course update notifications and educational newsletters
- Content delivery networks that speed up access to downloadable resources and materials
These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them if you want to understand their specific data practices. We only work with reputable services that align with our commitment to student privacy.
How to Control Cookies in Your Browser
Beyond using our rejection button above, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you control over what cookies can be set and which ones to delete.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear existing cookies from here.
Mozilla Firefox: Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection that blocks many third-party cookies automatically.
Safari: Open Preferences > Privacy. Safari has intelligent tracking prevention built in, and you can choose to block all cookies if you prefer.
Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies and site permissions. Edge provides balanced, strict, or custom tracking prevention options.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect your ability to stay logged in and may make some parts of the learning platform difficult to use. We recommend allowing essential cookies while blocking others if you want a balance between privacy and functionality.
Mobile Devices and Cookie Management
If you access NexaGen Portal through a mobile browser, you can still control cookies, though the process looks slightly different than on desktop.
iOS Safari: Go to Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security. You can block all cookies or just cross-site tracking here.
Android Chrome: Open Chrome, tap the three dots menu, then Settings > Site Settings > Cookies. You can block third-party cookies or all cookies from this menu.
Mobile apps that access our platform may use different tracking technologies. If you're using a dedicated mobile app rather than a mobile browser, check the app's settings or your device's privacy controls for relevant options.
Data Retention and Cookie Lifespan
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser. Others might last days, months, or even a couple of years depending on their purpose.
We set retention periods based on what makes sense for each cookie's function. Login sessions are short-lived for security reasons. Preference cookies last longer so you don't have to reset your display options every visit. Analytics cookies typically expire after a year or two.
Even if a cookie has a long expiration date, you can delete it manually anytime through your browser settings or by using our rejection button above. Once deleted, the cookie won't collect any more information until it's set again (which only happens if you accept cookies on a future visit).
Changes to This Policy
We update this cookie policy occasionally to reflect new technologies we're using or changes in privacy regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
For major updates that affect how we handle your data, we might also send an email notification to active students or display a notice when you log into the platform. We won't reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit consent.
We encourage checking back here periodically if you want to stay informed about our cookie practices. You can always reach out to our support team if you have questions about any changes.
Questions About Our Cookie Practices?
We know privacy policies can be dense. If anything here is unclear or you have specific questions about how we handle cookies and tracking, don't hesitate to reach out.
