What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit pitmuovathino.com. Think of them as digital sticky notes that remember your preferences and help us improve your experience with our budgeting education platform.

We use cookies to understand how entrepreneurs interact with our financial planning resources, which sections are most helpful, and where people might be getting stuck. This information helps us create better content for business owners learning to manage their finances.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Collect and Use Your Data

Beyond cookies, we gather information through form submissions, account creation, and your interactions with our budgeting tools. Here's what we track and why it matters for improving your learning experience:

• Course Progress Tracking
  We monitor which lessons you complete and where you might be struggling. This helps us identify areas where we need clearer explanations or additional examples.
• Budget Tool Usage
  Our calculators track common input patterns and frequent errors. This data helps us improve the user interface and add helpful guidance prompts.
• Content Engagement
  We measure reading time, scroll depth, and which resources get bookmarked most. This information guides our content creation priorities.
• Search and Navigation
  We analyze search queries and navigation patterns to understand what information entrepreneurs need most urgently and organize our content accordingly.

Data Retention and Your Control

We keep your interaction data for 24 months to identify long-term learning patterns. Analytics cookies expire after 12 months, while marketing cookies last 6 months. Essential functionality cookies remain active only during your browsing session.

You can request data deletion at any time by contacting our support team. We'll remove your personal information within 30 days, though we may retain anonymized usage statistics to improve our educational content.

Most browsers allow you to view and delete cookies manually through their settings. However, removing essential cookies may prevent certain budgeting tools from working properly during your next visit.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We integrate with several external services to enhance our educational platform. Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior, while our email service provider manages course notifications and progress updates.

These partners have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We've configured these services to minimize data collection and focus only on improving your learning experience. We don't sell personal information to advertisers or marketing companies.

Some embedded content, like budget planning videos or financial calculators from trusted sources, may set their own cookies. These are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy rather than ours.
