Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to enhance your experience on tymtron.pro
At Tymtron, we believe in transparency. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve your overall experience with our investing education platform.
Last updated: January 2025 — We review this policy regularly to reflect changes in how we operate and serve our Canadian community.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit tymtron.pro, we use several methods to collect information about how you interact with our site. These aren't just cookies in the traditional sense. We're talking about various tools that work together to create a better experience.
Some of these are essential. Without them, you couldn't navigate between pages or access secure areas. Others help us understand which content resonates with people interested in regular investing strategies.
Browser Cookies
Traditional text files stored by your browser. These remember your language preferences, keep you logged into your account, and help us recognize returning visitors.
Session Storage
Temporary data that exists only during your current visit. Once you close your browser, this information disappears. We use it for things like form data you're currently working with.
Local Storage
Similar to cookies but can hold more information. We might use this to remember your dashboard preferences or which investing articles you've already read.
Analytics Scripts
Code that tracks page views, time spent on content, and navigation patterns. This helps us understand which educational resources are most valuable to our community.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all tracking serves the same purpose. Here's an honest breakdown of what we do and why it matters for your experience on our platform.
Essential Tracking
These are non-negotiable if you want the site to function properly. They handle basic operations like remembering your login status, maintaining security during your session, and ensuring you can move between pages without losing your progress.
- Session management cookies that keep you logged in as you navigate through our learning materials
- Security tokens that protect your account from unauthorized access
- Load balancing cookies that distribute server requests efficiently
- Form input tracking that saves your progress when you're completing longer applications
Functional Tracking
These enhance your experience but aren't strictly necessary. They remember your preferences, like whether you prefer detailed charts or simplified summaries when learning about investment strategies.
For example, if you consistently browse our content about dividend investing rather than growth stocks, we'll prioritize showing you relevant resources. This saves you time and helps you find what matters most to your investing journey.
Analytical Tracking
Here's where things get interesting from our perspective. We track how people use tymtron.pro to understand what's working and what needs improvement. Which articles do people actually finish reading? Where do they get stuck in our learning program? What questions keep coming up?
This information shapes how we develop new content and refine existing resources. When we notice that many visitors from Halifax are interested in RRSP strategies, we might create more content addressing Canadian retirement planning specifics.
What We Learn From Analytics
Our analytics tell us stories about how people learn about investing. We might discover that someone spends 15 minutes on our article about dollar-cost averaging, then returns three days later to read it again. That tells us the content is valuable but maybe complex enough to require multiple readings.
We don't connect this data to your personal identity. We see patterns and trends, not individual names and email addresses. Your learning journey remains private.
Marketing Tracking
If you visit tymtron.pro and then later see our content mentioned elsewhere online, that's marketing tracking at work. We use these tools to understand which outreach efforts bring people to our platform and which messages resonate with those interested in building regular investing habits.
This helps us allocate our resources effectively. If we learn that people in the Canadian market respond well to straightforward, jargon-free education about index funds, we'll focus our efforts there rather than on complex derivative strategies.
Specific Tracking Methods
Let's get into the technical details. You deserve to know exactly what's happening when you visit our site.
| Tracking Method | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session ID Cookie | Maintains your login status and preferences during your visit | Until you close your browser |
| Preference Cookie | Remembers your language, display settings, and content preferences | 12 months |
| Analytics Cookie | Tracks page views, time on site, and navigation patterns | 24 months |
| Security Token | Protects against cross-site request forgery and unauthorized access | Session duration |
| Marketing Pixel | Measures effectiveness of educational outreach and content promotion | 90 days |
How This Improves Your Experience
You might wonder why all this tracking matters. Fair question. Here's what it enables us to do for you.
When you return to tymtron.pro after your first visit, we can show you content that builds on what you've already learned. If you spent time understanding the basics of portfolio diversification last week, we won't keep showing you beginner content. Instead, you'll see more advanced resources about rebalancing strategies or tax-efficient investing.
Tracking also helps us identify and fix problems quickly. If we notice that people frequently abandon a particular form halfway through, we investigate why. Maybe it's too long. Maybe a question isn't clear. Whatever the issue, we can address it because we saw the pattern.
Real Example From 2024
Last year, our analytics revealed that visitors were spending significant time on our article about TFSA contribution limits but rarely proceeding to our related content about investment selection within TFSAs. This told us we needed to create better connections between these topics.
We added contextual links and developed a comprehensive guide that addresses both aspects together. Completion rates for that learning path increased significantly, and we received positive feedback from the Canadian investing community.
Data Retention Practices
We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and usefulness.
Session data disappears when you close your browser. Analytics data typically remains in our systems for 24 months, giving us enough historical perspective to identify meaningful trends without accumulating unnecessary information forever.
Marketing tracking data expires after 90 days. This gives us a reasonable window to assess campaign effectiveness while limiting how long we're connected to your browsing activity across different sites.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You're in control here. While we think tracking improves your experience with our investing education platform, you can adjust or disable it according to your comfort level.
Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser gives you tools to manage cookies and tracking. Here's how to access those controls in popular browsers:
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome.
Mozilla Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with several preset levels.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari includes intelligent tracking prevention enabled by default for Canadian and international users.
Microsoft Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Edge provides balanced, strict, or custom tracking prevention.
What Happens When You Block Tracking
If you disable cookies and tracking entirely, tymtron.pro will still function for basic browsing. You can read articles, view our learning program information, and contact us.
However, some features won't work as smoothly. You'll need to log in every time you visit. We won't remember your preferences for content display or notification settings. And you might see less relevant content recommendations since we won't have context about your interests.
Essential security cookies will still need to work for certain features to function properly. These protect both you and us from malicious activity.
Third-Party Tracking
We use some third-party services that set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video explaining compound interest concepts, that video player might set cookies to remember your playback quality preferences.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and tracking practices. We choose partners carefully, but you should review their policies if you're concerned about how they handle data. We can't control their practices, but we can decide whether to work with them.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Our platform evolves. When we modify how we use tracking technologies, we update this policy to reflect those changes.
We typically review and update this document quarterly, or immediately after significant changes to our tracking implementation. The last update date appears at the top of this page.
If we make substantial changes that affect how we collect or use tracking data, we'll notify active users through email and display a notice on the website for at least 30 days.
Your Rights Regarding Tracking Data
Under Canadian privacy law, you have specific rights about your data. You can request information about what tracking data we've collected related to your visits. You can ask us to delete this data, though doing so might reset your experience to that of a first-time visitor.
If you have an account with us, you can access some of this information through your dashboard. For data that's not directly accessible, contact our team and we'll work with you to fulfill your request within a reasonable timeframe.
