What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device
when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help
websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing
experience. At questavithryva, we use various tracking
technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to
understand how you interact with our financial education platform.
These technologies work behind the scenes to remember your login
status, track your progress through our learning modules, and help
us understand which financial topics resonate most with our South
African users. We're transparent about this data collection
because your trust matters to us as you develop your personal
finance skills.
Beyond basic cookies, we utilize pixel tags and session storage to
create a seamless learning environment. These tools help us
recognize when you return to continue a lesson, remember your quiz
scores, and suggest relevant financial content based on your
interests. It's like having a personal learning assistant that
remembers where you left off.
Essential Cookies
These are absolutely necessary for our website to function
properly. They enable core features like secure login, course
navigation, and payment processing for our premium content.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences such as language settings,
completed modules, and personalized dashboard layout to
enhance your learning experience each time you visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our
content, which lessons are most helpful, and where users might
be struggling with financial concepts.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant financial education content
and measure the effectiveness of our educational campaigns
across different platforms.

We carefully vet all third-party partners to ensure they meet our
