What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit glowonmotion.com. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help us remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage to understand how visitors interact with our financial education content.

These tools aren't just technical necessities — they're how we learn what works best for our students. When someone spends extra time on our budget planning modules or repeatedly visits our debt reduction strategies, we can use that information to make our content more helpful.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's what this looks like in practice: If you frequently access our emergency fund calculator, we might suggest related content about building financial resilience. When you bookmark our debt snowball strategy guide, we'll remember that preference for your next visit.

• Personalized course recommendations based on your financial goals and current progress through our materials
• Saved progress through interactive budget planning tools and financial calculators
• Customized dashboard showing your most-used resources and recently accessed learning materials
• Optimized content delivery based on which financial topics generate the most engagement

Data Retention and Your Control

We keep different types of data for varying periods. Essential cookies remain active only during your session, while preference cookies might last up to two years so you don't need to reset your choices every visit. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after six months.

You have significant control over this process. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies entirely. Just keep in mind that disabling certain tracking might affect functionality — you might need to log in more frequently or reset your learning preferences.

Managing Your Browser Settings

Every major browser offers cookie management tools, usually found in the privacy or security settings. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject third-party cookies, or review each one individually. Some browsers also offer "incognito" modes that don't store tracking data locally.

For mobile users, both iOS and Android provide similar controls through their respective browser settings. Remember that clearing all cookies will log you out of websites and reset any saved preferences across the internet.

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted analytics providers and educational technology partners who help us improve our platform. These services operate under their own privacy policies, though we ensure they meet our standards for data protection and user privacy.

Some of these partners provide specialized tools for course delivery, progress tracking, and content recommendations. While we can't control their policies entirely, we choose partners who share our commitment to responsible data use and educational excellence.
