Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on sylthareon.com
Last Updated: 15 January 2025
At sylthareon, we're straightforward about how we collect information through our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in transparency. You deserve to know exactly what's happening when you visit our site and make decisions about your financial education journey.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember things about your visit—like your preferences or what you had in your shopping cart.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They just sit there quietly, helping websites work better for you.
Most websites use them. We use them too, but we want you to understand exactly what we're doing and why.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
We use several types of tracking technologies on sylthareon.com. Each serves a specific purpose in making your experience better or helping us understand how people use our site.
Essential Cookies
These keep the website functioning properly. They remember your login status, form inputs, and basic navigation choices. Without these, parts of the site simply wouldn't work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—like whether you've dismissed certain messages or which timezone you're in. They make return visits more convenient by remembering what you prefer.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand which pages people visit most, where they're coming from, and how long they spend reading different content. It's anonymous data that helps us improve.
Performance Cookies
These track how fast pages load and whether any technical errors occur. They help us identify and fix issues quickly so the site runs smoothly for everyone.
We don't use advertising cookies or track you across other websites. Our tracking stays focused on improving your experience with our financial communication courses.
Why This Matters for Your Experience
Here's what tracking actually does for you when you're exploring our learning programs:
- When you're browsing course information, we remember which sections you've already viewed so you don't lose your place
- If you're filling out our contact form and accidentally close the tab, your information might still be there when you come back
- We can see which program descriptions people read most carefully, which helps us write clearer, more useful content
- When pages load slowly, we notice and can investigate why that's happening
- If lots of people are leaving from the same page, that tells us something might be confusing or missing
Basically, these tools help us understand what's working and what isn't. That way, we can make the site more helpful for people researching financial communication education.
Taking Control of Your Preferences
You're in charge of whether websites can use cookies on your device. Every browser gives you control over this.
Here's how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:
- Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies from specific sites.
- Firefox Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers standard, strict, or custom tracking protection.
- Safari Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default and gives you options for others.
- Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Microsoft Edge offers balanced, strict, or custom settings.
If you block all cookies, some features on our site might not work as smoothly. Essential functions like form submission or staying logged in could be affected. You'll still be able to browse course information, though.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others last for months or even a year.
Session cookies vanish when you end your browsing session. These handle things like keeping you logged in while you're exploring different pages.
Persistent cookies stay longer—typically between 30 days and 12 months. These remember your preferences between visits and help us track longer-term patterns in how people use the site.
You can clear all cookies manually through your browser settings whenever you want. That wipes the slate clean.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy occasionally as we adjust how we use tracking technologies or when regulations change.
When we make meaningful changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we might also add a notice on our homepage.
It's worth checking back here once in a while, especially if you're particular about tracking and privacy settings.
