Cookie & Tracking Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to enhance your experience with cprortcru financial spreadsheet tools
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit cprortcru.com, we use small data files and tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our financial spreadsheet management platform. Think of these as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.
Our tracking methods include traditional cookies, web beacons, local storage, and analytics pixels. Each serves a specific purpose in delivering personalized financial tools and educational content that matches your interests.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Function Cookies
These keep your login session active, remember your spreadsheet preferences, and ensure our financial calculators work properly. Without these, basic site functionality would break.
Performance Analytics
We track which financial tools you use most, how long you spend on educational content, and which spreadsheet templates are most popular to improve our offerings.
Personalization Tracking
These remember your dashboard layout, preferred financial categories, and which educational modules you've completed to customize your experience.
Marketing Insights
We track which content leads to newsletter signups or course enrollments to understand what financial topics interest our community most.
Manage Your Privacy Preferences
You can opt out of all non-essential tracking while still accessing our financial tools and educational content. Essential cookies for basic site functionality cannot be disabled.
Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)
Login authentication, security tokens, form submissions, and basic spreadsheet functionality require essential cookies that cannot be turned off.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you download a budgeting spreadsheet, our tracking helps us suggest related templates like expense trackers or investment calculators. If you frequently access our educational content about retirement planning, we'll prioritize showing you relevant webinars and tools.
Our analytics reveal that users who engage with our interactive financial calculators are 3x more likely to benefit from our advanced spreadsheet courses. This insight helps us create better educational pathways.
We also track which mobile devices and screen sizes our community uses most. This data drove our 2025 mobile-optimized spreadsheet viewer that makes financial management accessible anywhere.
Browser-Level Cookie Controls
Every modern browser gives you direct control over tracking technologies. Here's how to access these settings:
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and other site data
Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Data Retention Timeline
Page views, button clicks, and navigation patterns are stored for 30 days to optimize user interface design.
Dashboard customizations, favorite tools, and educational progress remain saved for 6 months of inactivity.
Anonymous usage statistics help us identify trends in financial education needs and popular spreadsheet categories.
Third-Party Tracking Partners
We work with analytics providers to understand how our educational content performs and which financial tools provide the most value. Google Analytics helps us see aggregate user behavior, while our email platform tracks whether our financial tips newsletters are helpful.
Our course platform uses learning analytics to identify where students might need additional support with complex financial concepts. This data never includes personal financial information – only engagement with educational materials.
Some of our spreadsheet templates include links to financial institutions or software partners. These third parties have their own tracking policies that apply when you visit their sites.
Your Control Options
Beyond our opt-out button above, you have several ways to control tracking. Browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger can block third-party trackers while still allowing essential site functions to work.
Many smartphones now include tracking protection features. iOS 14.5+ asks apps for tracking permission, while Android's Privacy Dashboard shows which apps access your data.
We respect Do Not Track signals and Global Privacy Control headers. If your browser sends these signals, we'll limit data collection to essential functions only.
Remember that blocking all tracking might affect some features – our personalized course recommendations and progress tracking won't work without some data collection.
