What Are Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with different pages. Think of them as tiny digital notes that help create a more personalized experience.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These tools work together to provide insights into how visitors navigate our educational content and which resources prove most valuable for learning about budget compliance.

Data Retention and Control

How Long We Keep Your Information

Most session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months to help us understand long-term learning patterns and improve our educational programs. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting our support team.

You have complete control over your cookie preferences. Beyond browser settings, we also provide tools within your BrightonLum account to manage marketing communications and data sharing preferences. Our learning platform respects your choices and will function with reduced cookies, though some features may be limited.

For students enrolled in our budget compliance programs, certain functional cookies are essential for tracking progress and maintaining course continuity. We clearly distinguish between required and optional cookies to help you make informed decisions about your privacy preferences.

Third-Party Services and Partners

We work with trusted educational technology partners to deliver our budget compliance training programs. These partners may also place cookies on your device to provide services like video hosting, interactive exercises, and progress tracking across different learning modules.

Our analytics providers help us understand which educational content is most effective and where students might need additional support. This information guides our curriculum development and helps us create better learning experiences for future students in our September 2025 and January 2026 program cohorts.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this cookie policy annually to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and our educational services. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email if you're enrolled in our programs, or through a prominent notice on our website.

As we expand our budget compliance education offerings and introduce new learning technologies, we may need to implement additional tracking methods. We'll always explain how these enhance your educational experience and provide options for managing your preferences.
