What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At zelvothicstudio, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our finance platform and provide you with personalized, relevant content.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies. These tools work together to create a comprehensive understanding of how users interact with our financial education resources and business finance tools.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

How We Use Your Data

• Learning Experience Enhancement: We track which finance topics you engage with most to suggest relevant educational content and personalized learning paths through our business finance curriculum.
• Platform Optimization: Your usage patterns help us identify which tools and resources are most valuable, allowing us to continuously improve our finance education platform.
• Content Personalization: We customize your dashboard and recommend specific modules based on your learning progress and interests in areas like budgeting, investment basics, or business finance fundamentals.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: Tracking technologies help us detect unusual activity patterns and protect your account from unauthorized access attempts.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of tracking data are retained for varying periods based on their purpose and legal requirements. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain on your device for up to 24 months. We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data to maintain privacy and system efficiency.

Your analytical data is aggregated and anonymized after 12 months, ensuring that while we can still learn from usage patterns, individual user behavior cannot be traced back to specific accounts. Marketing preference data is maintained as long as you remain an active user of our platform.
