Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 2025

polyntheriq uses tracking technologies on polyntheriq.com to help us understand how you interact with our working capital analysis platform. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control their use. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and why it matters for your experience.

What Are Tracking Technologies?

When you visit our website, small text files get stored on your device. These are commonly called cookies, but we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage objects. Think of them as digital notes that help our site remember your preferences and understand how people use our tools.

Some of these stay on your device for just one session. Others stick around longer to remember you when you come back. The distinction matters because it affects what information we can access and for how long.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Operational Required

These keep the site functioning properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to move between pages or access secure areas. We can't turn these off because they're fundamental to how polyntheriq.com operates. They handle things like session management and basic security protocols.

Functional Enhancement Optional

These remember your choices to make your experience smoother. If you've selected certain analysis parameters or customized your dashboard view, functional tracking helps us recall those preferences. They're not strictly necessary, but they save you from reconfiguring settings every time you visit.

Performance Analytics Optional

We use these to understand which features get used most and where people might be running into problems. The data stays aggregated and anonymous. It helps us spot patterns like which calculation tools are most popular or where users tend to get stuck in a workflow.

Marketing Communication Optional

These track how you arrived at our site and which content resonates with different audience segments. They help us understand whether our educational resources about working capital are actually reaching people who need them. We also use this information to avoid showing you redundant content you've already seen.

How We Actually Use This Information

Here's what happens in practice. When someone uses our cash flow projection tool and returns a week later, functional tracking lets us restore their previous inputs. That's a straightforward convenience feature.

Analytics tracking tells us things like "400 people viewed the working capital tutorial this month, but only 80 completed it." That signals we might need to revise the content or break it into shorter segments. We don't know who those specific 400 people are, just that the pattern exists.

For marketing purposes, we track which external articles or resources led people to our learning materials. If a particular business publication drives significant traffic, we know that audience finds our content relevant. We might then create more resources tailored to that readership.

Specific Examples From Our Platform

  • Remembering which financial metrics you prefer to see first on your dashboard
  • Tracking how long people spend on different sections of our capital efficiency guides
  • Understanding which browser versions have trouble with our calculation interfaces
  • Measuring whether people who read our case studies are more likely to explore our learning program
  • Identifying which regions show the most interest in specific working capital topics

Third-Party Tracking

We work with external services for analytics and content delivery. These providers have their own tracking mechanisms. When you watch an embedded video about financial analysis or interact with a social sharing button, those third parties might collect information according to their own policies.

We've chosen partners who align with our approach to data handling, but you should know they operate independently. Their tracking happens alongside ours, and we don't control what they collect or how they use it.

How Long We Keep This Data

Session-based tracking expires when you close your browser. That's usually a few hours at most.

Functional preferences typically last up to 12 months. If you don't visit for a year, we figure your preferences might have changed anyway.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized within 90 days. After that, we retain statistical summaries but nothing tied to individual browsing patterns.

Marketing tracking varies by campaign but generally expires within 6 months. We reassess this periodically based on how our outreach efforts evolve.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You have several ways to control this. Most browsers let you block or delete tracking files through their settings. The specific steps vary, but here's where to look for each major browser.

Chrome

Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all tracking or make exceptions for specific sites.

Firefox

Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection by default.

Safari

Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party tracking automatically and lets you adjust the strictness.

Edge

Settings → Cookies and site permissions. Edge provides three levels of tracking prevention you can choose between.

Keep in mind that blocking everything will affect functionality. You won't be able to stay logged in between pages, and the site won't remember any of your preferences. It's a trade-off between privacy and convenience.

Some mobile devices offer tracking limitations at the operating system level. iOS has "Ask App Not to Track" settings, and Android provides similar controls through Google account preferences.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this policy periodically as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant modifications, we'll update the date at the top and may notify active users through the platform.

For minor clarifications or technical adjustments, we'll simply revise the document. It's worth checking back occasionally if you want to stay informed about how we handle tracking.
