We use tracking technologies on igniteon-flareon.com. And honestly? Most sites do. But instead of burying this information in legal jargon, we're going to explain what these technologies actually do and why they're here.
This isn't about surveillance or anything creepy. It's about making the site work better for you while helping us understand what's useful and what's not. Think of it as feedback that happens automatically.
What Happens When You Arrive
When you first visit our site, we set essential tracking files that remember basic preferences. Things like whether you've seen certain notices or what language settings you prefer. Without these, you'd have to reset everything each time you visit.
We also start collecting anonymous usage data. Which pages you visit, how long you stay, where you click. This helps us figure out if our educational content is actually helpful or just taking up space.
As You Browse Our Resources
While you're exploring our finance education materials, we track your journey through the content. Not in a "Big Brother" way, but more like understanding which topics interest people and which ones make them leave immediately.
If you watch a video or download a guide, we make note of that. It helps us create more of what people actually use and less of what sits ignored.
When You Return
Return visitors get recognized. We remember where you left off, what you've already seen, and what might interest you next. This prevents us from showing you the same introductory material over and over.
Your interaction history helps us personalize recommendations. Someone interested in startup financing gets different suggestions than someone focused on basic accounting principles.
Essential Tracking
These make the site function. You can't really turn them off without breaking things. They handle security, load balancing, and basic functionality.
- Session management and authentication
- Security and fraud prevention
- Load distribution across servers
- Basic site functionality
Functional Tracking
These remember your preferences and choices. Language settings, display options, content preferences. They make your experience smoother but aren't strictly necessary.
- Language and region preferences
- Display customization choices
- Content viewing history
- Form auto-fill information
Analytics Tracking
We use these to understand how people use the site. What's popular, what's confusing, what loads too slowly. This data is anonymous and aggregated.
- Page views and navigation patterns
- Time spent on different sections
- Device and browser information
- Performance and error tracking
Marketing Tracking
These help us understand which marketing efforts bring people to the site and whether they find what they're looking for. We don't sell this data to anyone.
- Campaign effectiveness measurement
- Referral source tracking
- Content engagement metrics
- Conversion tracking
Quick Facts About Our Tracking
We Don't Sell Data
Your information stays with us. We're not in the business of selling user data to third parties. That's not how we operate.
Most Data Is Anonymous
We track patterns, not individuals. Unless you're logged in, we're just seeing aggregated behavior across all visitors.
You Have Control
Browser settings let you block or delete tracking files anytime. Some features might not work perfectly, but that's your choice to make.
Regular Cleanup
We don't hoard data forever. Analytics information older than 24 months gets deleted unless there's a specific reason to keep it.
Taking Control in Your Browser
Find Your Browser Settings
Every modern browser has privacy controls. Usually under Settings > Privacy or Settings > Security. The exact location varies, but they're always there somewhere.
Locate Cookie Controls
Look for options labeled "Cookies," "Site Data," or "Tracking." Most browsers let you block all tracking, block third-party tracking only, or allow everything.
Choose Your Comfort Level
Blocking everything breaks some functionality. Blocking third-party tracking is a good middle ground. Most people don't notice much difference with that setting.
Clear Existing Data
Browsers also let you delete existing tracking files. You can wipe everything or selectively remove data from specific sites. This is separate from blocking future tracking.
How Long We Keep Information
Different types of tracking data get stored for different periods. Here's what we actually do with retention:
We're not keeping this stuff indefinitely. Storage costs money, old data becomes less useful, and frankly, we don't need five years of browsing history to run an educational site.
| Tracking Type | Retention Period | Why This Long |
|---|---|---|
| Session Data | Until browser closes | Only needed during active use |
| Functional Preferences | 12 months | Long enough to be useful between visits |
| Analytics Data | 24 months | Trend analysis needs historical comparison |
| Marketing Data | 18 months | Campaign effectiveness tracking cycles |
