We want to be upfront about how our website works and what happens when you visit softonliston.com. This policy explains the tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve your experience. Some are essential for the site to function properly, while others help us understand what's working and what needs improvement.
What We Track and Why
Every website needs certain tracking mechanisms to function properly. Here's what happens when you visit our budget education platform.
We use different types of tracking for different purposes. Some help keep you logged in, others remember your learning progress, and some help us understand which educational content resonates most with visitors.
- Session management to keep you logged into your learning dashboard
- Progress tracking so you don't lose your place in courses
- Preference storage for things like language settings and interface customization
- Analytics to understand which budget education topics generate the most interest
- Security features that protect your account from unauthorized access

Functional Cookies
These remember your choices to provide enhanced, personalized features. They're not strictly necessary, but they make your experience smoother and more tailored to your needs.
Store preferences like your selected currency for budget examples, your preferred learning pace, and interface customizations. They typically remain active for several months.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our educational content. This information helps us identify which topics need more depth, which lessons are most helpful, and where people might be getting stuck.
Track page views, time spent on lessons, navigation patterns, and completion rates. All data is aggregated and anonymized. We can't identify individual users from this information.
Marketing Cookies
These track your visits across websites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show you relevant educational content recommendations and inform you about new courses that match your learning goals.
