Understanding how caliqosara uses tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
When you visit caliqosara.com, we use various tracking technologies to make your experience better. Think of cookies as tiny text files that remember your preferences – like whether you prefer light or dark mode, or which financial analysis topics you've already explored.
But it's not just cookies. We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These tools work together to remember your progress through our courses, save your quiz answers, and help us understand which educational content works best for our students.
Here's what's interesting – many of these technologies have been around since the early days of the internet. They've evolved significantly, and now they help create those smooth, personalized experiences you expect when learning online.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. Without them, you couldn't log into your account, access course materials, or complete assessments. They're the foundation that makes everything else possible.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – your preferred learning pace, bookmarked lessons, and customized dashboard layout. They're what make caliqosara.com feel personalized to your learning style.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how students interact with our content. Which video explanations are most helpful? Where do people get stuck in the coursework? This data helps us improve continuously.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant information about new courses, upcoming workshops, or advanced modules that align with your learning journey and interests in financial analysis.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Personalized Learning Paths
When you complete a lesson on ratio analysis, our tracking helps recommend the next logical topic. Maybe that's cash flow analysis, or perhaps diving deeper into profitability ratios. The system learns what works for your learning style.
Progress Tracking
Ever closed your browser mid-lesson and worried you'd lose your place? Tracking technologies ensure your progress is saved automatically. You can pick up exactly where you left off, even days later.
Content Optimization
We analyze which explanations click with students and which ones need work. If everyone's struggling with a particular concept in financial statement analysis, we know to create additional resources or restructure that section.
Data Retention Timeline
Session Cookies
Deleted automatically when you close your browser. These handle temporary interactions like form submissions and navigation.
Functional Preferences
Kept for up to 12 months to remember your settings and learning preferences across multiple sessions.
Analytics Data
Aggregated usage patterns are retained for 24 months to help us understand long-term learning trends and course effectiveness.
Marketing Data
Campaign tracking data is kept for 18 months to measure the effectiveness of our educational outreach and course recommendations.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over how we track your activity. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, though this might affect some site functionality. Here's how different browsers handle cookie management:
Chrome
Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or create site-specific rules.
Firefox
Options > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection. Choose from standard, strict, or custom protection levels.
Safari
Preferences > Privacy. You can prevent cross-site tracking and manage website data on a site-by-site basis.
Edge
Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and stored data. Control which sites can store data and set automatic deletion rules.
If you disable all cookies, you'll still be able to browse our educational content, but features like progress saving, personalized recommendations, and your customized dashboard won't work properly.
Third-Party Tracking
We work with several educational technology partners who provide services like video hosting, analytics, and assessment tools. These partners may place their own tracking technologies on your device when you interact with their embedded content.
For example, when you watch instructional videos, our video platform partner may track viewing progress and quality preferences. When you complete quizzes, our assessment tool tracks performance data to provide detailed feedback.
We carefully vet these partners and require them to handle data responsibly. However, their use of tracking technologies is governed by their own privacy policies, not just ours.
International Data Transfers
Some of our tracking technologies and analytics tools are provided by companies based outside Australia. When your data is processed by these services, it may be transferred internationally.
We ensure these transfers comply with Australian privacy laws and only work with providers who maintain appropriate security standards. Your learning data receives the same protection regardless of where it's processed.
