Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
We use tracking technologies on sarothexar.com to help our platform work properly and provide you with a better experience. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to give us insights into how people use our financial analysis tools and educational resources.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can change your settings if you prefer not to. Just keep in mind that some features might not work as smoothly without them.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Tracking
These are necessary for basic website functionality. They remember your login status, secure your session, and keep your preferences consistent as you move through different pages. Without these, you'd need to log in repeatedly and reset preferences on every page.
Functional Tracking
These remember choices you make to personalize your experience. They store things like your preferred language settings, display options for financial charts, and which educational modules you've already completed. This saves you from adjusting settings each time you visit.
Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand which resources people find most helpful and where they spend their time. This helps us figure out if our financial analysis tutorials are actually useful or if we need to restructure certain learning materials. All data gets aggregated, so we're looking at patterns rather than individual behavior.
Marketing Tracking
These help us show you relevant information about upcoming webinars and educational programs that match your interests. They also prevent you from seeing the same announcement repeatedly. We don't share this data with third-party advertisers.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Here's what happens behind the scenes when you use our platform:
- Your progress through our financial statement analysis course gets saved automatically, so you can pick up exactly where you left off
- The dashboard remembers which metrics you prefer to see first, saving you time on each visit
- We can identify which tutorial videos get abandoned halfway through and improve them
- You'll see notifications about webinars that relate to topics you've shown interest in
- The platform adapts to your learning pace and suggests relevant next steps
- We can spot technical issues faster when we see patterns in how people interact with certain features
In 2024, we noticed that people were clicking away from one particular ratio analysis page within seconds. The tracking data showed us the problem: the explanation was buried under too much text. We restructured it, and now people spend an average of four minutes engaging with that content.
What Information Gets Collected
Different types of tracking collect different information. Generally, this includes:
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- Which links and buttons you click
- Your browser type and device information
- Your general location (country or region level, not specific address)
- How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, referral)
- Which educational resources you download or bookmark
We don't collect personally identifiable information through cookies unless you've explicitly provided it through forms or account registration. And we don't track you across unrelated websites.
Managing Your Preferences
You have full control over how tracking technologies work on your device. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies through its settings menu.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how our platform functions. You won't stay logged in, and we won't be able to remember your progress through educational modules. Some interactive tools might not work properly either.
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of external services that might place their own tracking technologies on your device. This happens when we embed content like webinar registration forms or video tutorials hosted on external platforms.
These services have their own privacy policies that govern how they collect and use data. We try to work only with providers who respect user privacy, but we can't control their practices directly.
Currently, we use external services for video hosting, webinar management, and website analytics. If you have specific concerns about any of these providers, get in touch and we'll give you more details.
How Long We Keep Data
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for varying lengths depending on their purpose. Analytical data typically gets retained for 26 months, while essential functional cookies might last up to a year. Marketing cookies usually expire after 90 days.
You can delete cookies manually at any time through your browser settings, regardless of their set expiration date.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top shows when we last made changes.
If we make significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll notify you through a banner on the website or via email if you have an account with us.
We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you have concerns about how your data gets used.
