Types of Tracking We Use

Your Control Options

Data Retention Periods

Different types of data get stored for different lengths of time. Session data disappears when you close your browser, while preference settings might stay for up to two years so you don't have to reconfigure everything each visit.

Analytics data gets anonymized after six months, and marketing tracking data expires after one year. We regularly clean out old information that's no longer useful for improving our services.

Browser-Level Management

You can also control tracking directly through your browser settings. Here's how to access these options in popular browsers:

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

When you allow optional tracking, we can provide more tailored budget planning suggestions based on your usage patterns. For example, if you frequently use our retirement planning calculator, we might surface related articles about long-term savings strategies.

We also use this information to identify which features need better explanations or could benefit from additional guidance. Your anonymized usage data helps us prioritize which educational resources to develop next.

Third-Party Services

Some tracking comes from services that help us analyze website performance and user behavior. These include Google Analytics for understanding traffic patterns and various tools that help us measure how well our educational content serves your needs.

We carefully select third-party services that align with our commitment to user privacy and only share anonymized, aggregated information that can't be traced back to individual users.
