Website Data Usage Policy
Last updated: January 2025
At electric-energx.com, we believe transparency matters. This page walks you through how we track site usage and what that means for you as a visitor. We're not collecting data just because we can—each tracking method serves a specific purpose in making your experience better.
What Are Tracking Technologies
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that remember things like your preferences or where you left off during a previous visit. These files don't harm your computer and can't run programs.
Most websites use this technology. It's been around since the mid-90s, and while the name might sound quirky, the function is straightforward—helping sites remember you between visits.
Essential Functions
These keep the site working properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're the foundation.
Functional Features
These remember your choices, like language preferences or form inputs. They save you from repeating the same selections every visit.
Analytical Insights
We track which pages get visited most and how people move through the site. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement.
Marketing Tools
These show you relevant information based on your interests. They also help us understand which campaigns bring people to our site.
How We Use These Tools
Our tracking serves several practical purposes. When you're browsing financial modeling resources or exploring our learning programs, we want that experience to feel smooth and personalized.
- Keeping you logged in as you move between pages
- Remembering items in your course wishlist
- Understanding which educational content gets the most attention
- Identifying technical issues that might affect your experience
- Showing you relevant program recommendations based on your interests
- Measuring how well our learning resources serve different audiences
Some tracking methods can't be disabled because they're essential for the site to function. But you have control over the optional ones.
Taking Control of Your Privacy
You're not stuck with our default settings. Every browser lets you manage tracking preferences, and the process takes just a few minutes.
Blocking certain types might affect functionality. For example, if you disable functional tracking, you'll need to re-enter preferences each time you visit. It's a trade-off between privacy and convenience.
Browser Management Guides
Each browser handles tracking differently. Here's where to find the settings in popular browsers:
How Long We Keep Data
Different tracking types have different lifespans. Session-based ones disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer to remember your preferences between visits.
Most of our tracking expires within 12 months. After that, the data gets automatically cleared from our systems. Essential functionality tracking might persist longer, but only to maintain core site operations.
You can manually clear this data anytime through your browser settings. That gives you a fresh start whenever you want one.
Third-Party Services
Some tools on our site come from external providers—like analytics platforms or video hosting services. These companies have their own tracking methods and privacy policies.
We work with reputable providers who respect user privacy, but they operate independently from us. If you're concerned about third-party tracking, browser extensions can help manage those connections.
Updates to This Policy
As we improve our site or add new features, this policy might change. We'll update the date at the top whenever we make revisions. Checking back occasionally keeps you informed about how we handle tracking.
