You can decline all non-essential tracking cookies right now. Essential cookies required for site functionality will remain active, but we'll stop all analytics and marketing tracking.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit zirelavontiqo.pro, we use several tracking methods to understand how people interact with our educational content about corporate finance. These technologies help us figure out which course materials work best and where analysts get stuck.
Think of it like leaving breadcrumbs as you walk through a library. We can see which sections get the most foot traffic, which books people pick up, and how long they spend reading. But we're not reading over your shoulder or recording your personal notes.
How Tracking Actually Works
Most tracking happens through small text files stored in your browser. When you return to our site, these files tell us you've been here before. It's similar to a library card that tracks which books you've borrowed, but nothing about what you thought of them or how you used the information.
We also use pixels, which are tiny invisible images embedded in pages. When your browser loads them, it sends us basic information about the visit. And sometimes we store data directly in your browser's local storage, which works faster than traditional methods.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. They remember your login status, keep your shopping cart intact if we ever add course purchases, and maintain your language preferences. Without them, you'd have to log in on every page, which would be frustrating.
Functional Tracking
These remember choices you make, like video playback speed or whether you prefer light or dark mode. They make the site adapt to how you like to work. We store these for up to one year so you don't have to reset preferences constantly.
Analytics Tracking
This is where we learn what's working. We see which case studies analysts spend time on, where people abandon courses, and which topics generate the most questions. All of this is aggregated data—we're looking at patterns across hundreds of users, not tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant content if you visit other websites. If you've been reading about discounted cash flow models on our site, you might see an ad for our DCF masterclass elsewhere. They also prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly.
About Essential Cookies
We can't give you an option to disable essential cookies because they're literally required for the site to function. It's like asking if you want the electricity turned off while you're still in the building.
These cookies handle security (preventing unauthorized access), session management (keeping you logged in), and basic site functionality (remembering items in your course wishlist). They typically expire when you close your browser, though some persist for up to 90 days for security reasons.
Why We Track This Information
Here's the practical side: we're trying to build the best corporate finance education platform for analysts. That means understanding what works.
When we notice everyone drops off halfway through a particular module, that tells us something. Maybe the content's too dense. Maybe we need better examples. Sometimes it's as simple as the video player acting weird on mobile devices.
We also use tracking to personalize recommendations. If you've completed three courses on financial modeling but haven't touched anything about valuation, we might suggest starting there next. It's basic pattern recognition, not some creepy surveillance operation.
Real Examples of How Tracking Helps
- We noticed analysts were rewatching the same 5-minute segment of a video repeatedly. Turns out the formula explanation was too fast. We slowed it down and added annotations.
- Analytics showed mobile users were bouncing from our case study pages. The spreadsheet examples weren't rendering properly on smaller screens. We redesigned them.
- Tracking revealed that people who completed our intro course rarely continued to intermediate level. We added a bridging module that filled the knowledge gap.
- Marketing cookies helped us stop showing DCF course ads to people who'd already enrolled. Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many sites mess this up.
How to Control Cookies Through Your Browser
Every browser gives you control over cookies. The settings are buried in different places, but they're there. Here's where to find them:
Click the three dots in the top right → Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. Blocking all cookies will break most websites.
Menu button → Settings → Privacy & Security. Firefox has "Enhanced Tracking Protection" that blocks most marketing cookies by default. You can switch it to "Strict" mode for more aggressive blocking.
Safari menu → Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party cookies automatically. You can enable "Prevent cross-site tracking" for additional protection, though this sometimes breaks legitimate site features.
Three dots → Settings → Cookies and site permissions. Edge uses the same basic structure as Chrome. The "Balanced" tracking prevention setting blocks most marketing cookies while keeping sites functional.
How Long We Keep This Data
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Essential cookies expire when you close your browser or after 90 days, whichever comes first. Functional cookies last up to one year so your preferences stick around.
Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 14 months. We keep the trends and patterns but strip out anything that could identify specific users. Marketing cookies typically expire after 30 days, though this varies by platform.
You can clear all cookies from your browser at any time. Just know that you'll lose your preferences and have to log in again. Some people do this regularly as a privacy measure. Others find it annoying.
Third-Party Tracking
We use Google Analytics for site analytics and a couple of marketing platforms for advertising. These services place their own cookies and have their own privacy policies. We don't control what they do with the data, though we've chosen providers that align with privacy regulations.
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, Google offers a browser add-on that blocks their tracking across all sites. It's called "Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on" and works with most major browsers.
Your Rights and Control
Australian privacy law gives you specific rights regarding your data. You can request a copy of what we've collected about you, though honestly, most of it will be boring (page views, session duration, that sort of thing).
You can ask us to delete your tracking data. We'll remove everything except what we're legally required to keep for accounting or security purposes. This might affect your experience on the site since we won't remember your preferences anymore.
If you're in the EU or California, you have additional rights under GDPR and CCPA. We handle those requests through our standard data privacy procedures, which typically take 15 to 30 days to process.
What Happens If You Decline Cookies
The site will still work, mostly. You can access all course content, watch videos, and read materials. But some features won't function properly.
We won't remember your video playback position, so you'll have to manually skip to where you left off. Recommendations will be generic instead of personalized. We can't save your course progress across sessions. And you'll see the same introductory prompts every time you visit.
It's your choice. Some people value privacy over convenience. Others find it more practical to allow functional cookies while blocking marketing ones. There's no wrong answer here.
