Data Usage & Tracking Policy
Understanding how we collect and use information to improve your experience on tipopiraavelo.com
Last Updated: January 2025Look, we get it. Nobody reads these things. But here's the deal: we use tracking technologies on tipopiraavelo.com because they actually make your experience better. This isn't about being sneaky—it's about remembering your preferences and understanding how people use our financial modeling resources.
We're committed to transparency. This page explains what we track, why we track it, and how you can control it. We've tried to keep the legal jargon minimal because, honestly, clarity matters more than sounding fancy.
What Are These Tracking Technologies?
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These files help us recognize you when you return. Think of them like digital sticky notes that remind us you prefer dark mode or that you were halfway through a specific learning module.
Beyond traditional tracking files, we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. They all serve the same basic purpose: helping us provide you with a better, more personalized experience while understanding how our platform gets used.
Essential
These are non-negotiable. They keep the site functioning properly and securely. Without them, basic features like secure login or payment processing simply won't work.
What they do:
- Keep you logged into your account
- Remember items in your cart
- Enable secure transactions
- Maintain security settings
Functional
These remember your choices and preferences. They make the site adapt to how you like to use it—which is pretty much the definition of helpful technology.
What they do:
- Save your language preference
- Remember display settings
- Store your course progress
- Keep track of completed modules
Analytical
We use these to understand how people navigate our resources. Are certain modules confusing? Do people drop off at specific points? This data helps us improve the learning experience.
What they do:
- Track which pages are most visited
- Measure time spent on content
- Identify technical issues
- Show us what content resonates
Marketing
These track your activity to show relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. If you've been looking at Excel modeling courses, we might show you related content instead of something completely random.
What they do:
- Display personalized content
- Measure ad performance
- Prevent showing the same ad repeatedly
- Track referral sources
How Long Do We Keep This Data?
It varies depending on the type. Essential session data might only last until you close your browser. Preference settings could stick around for a year so you don't have to reconfigure everything every visit.
Analytics data typically gets aggregated and anonymized within 90 days. We're not hoarding your information indefinitely—we keep what's useful for improving the platform and ditch the rest on a regular schedule.

Third-Party Access
We work with some external services to provide analytics and payment processing. These partners have their own policies, and we've chosen providers who take privacy seriously. Google Analytics, Stripe for payments, and our email service provider all have access to specific data points necessary for their functions.
We don't sell your data to third parties. That's not our business model. We're an education platform focused on financial modeling, not a data broker.
