How We Use Tracking Technologies
At Cognit Sparkly, we believe in transparency about how we collect and use data to improve your financial modeling education experience. Our website uses various tracking technologies to understand how visitors interact with our content, optimize our teaching methods, and provide personalized learning recommendations.
These technologies help us analyze which financial modeling concepts resonate most with our Malaysian audience, track progress through our learning materials, and identify areas where students might need additional support. We use this information to continuously refine our curriculum and ensure our programs meet the evolving needs of finance professionals in the region.
Data Collection & Storage
We retain analytical data for up to 26 months to identify long-term learning patterns and seasonal trends in financial education. Personal preferences and progress tracking data are stored for the duration of your engagement with our programs, plus an additional 12 months to facilitate smooth re-enrollment. You can request data deletion at any time by contacting our support team.
