Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. At Tutor Rise, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to make our machine learning investment platform work better for you. These technologies help us remember your preferences, analyze how you interact with our investment tools, and improve the overall performance of our financial services.

Think of cookies as digital sticky notes that help our website remember things about your visit. When you log into your Tutor Rise account, cookies help us keep you signed in as you navigate between different sections of our platform. They also help us understand which investment strategies you're most interested in and how you prefer to view your portfolio data.

Types of Tracking We Use

We categorize our tracking technologies based on their specific functions within the Tutor Rise platform. Each type serves a different purpose in delivering our investment services and improving your user experience.

How Tracking Enhances Your Investment Experience

Our tracking technologies directly improve how you interact with Tutor Rise's investment platform in several meaningful ways. When you customize your dashboard to focus on specific market sectors, we remember these preferences so you don't have to reset them each time you visit. This saves you time and creates a more streamlined investment management experience.

Personalized Investment Insights

By tracking which types of investment analysis you engage with most, our machine learning algorithms can prioritize the most relevant market insights for your portfolio. If you frequently review technology sector analysis, we'll ensure those updates appear prominently in your feed. This personalization helps you make more informed investment decisions without having to sift through irrelevant information.

Security and Fraud Prevention

Tracking technologies help us identify unusual account activity that might indicate unauthorized access. We monitor login patterns, device characteristics, and behavioral indicators to protect your financial data. If someone tries to access your account from an unfamiliar location or device, our systems can flag this activity and prompt additional security verification.

Platform Performance Optimization

We track how quickly different sections of our platform load and where users experience difficulties. This data drives our technical improvements, ensuring that critical functions like portfolio updates and trade executions perform reliably. When we notice that certain investment research tools are loading slowly, we can prioritize performance improvements for those specific features.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling how cookies and tracking technologies work on your device when you use Tutor Rise. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their privacy or security preferences. You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or receive notifications when websites want to set cookies.

Browser Settings

In Chrome, you can access cookie settings through Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. Firefox users can find similar options under Options > Privacy & Security. Safari users should look in Preferences > Privacy. Each browser offers different levels of control, from blocking all third-party cookies to managing permissions on a site-by-site basis.

Impact on Platform Functionality

While you can disable cookies, doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of the Tutor Rise platform. Essential cookies are required for basic functionality, so blocking them would prevent you from logging into your account or accessing your investment portfolio. Disabling functional cookies would mean losing personalized settings and having to reconfigure your preferences during each visit.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of cookies have different lifespans on your device. Session cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. At Tutor Rise, most of our functional cookies are set to expire after one year, though some security-related cookies may last longer to maintain account protection.

Data Collection Practices

We collect information about your interactions with our investment tools, including which research reports you read, how long you spend analyzing different investment options, and which features you use most frequently. This data helps us understand user behavior patterns and improve our machine learning algorithms for better investment recommendations.

Your Rights and Options

You can request information about what data we've collected through tracking technologies, ask us to delete certain information, or opt out of non-essential tracking. Contact our privacy team if you want to exercise these rights or have questions about how your data is being used to improve our investment platform.

We regularly review and update our tracking practices to ensure they align with current privacy standards and provide genuine value to users of our financial services. Our goal is to use these technologies transparently and responsibly while delivering the best possible investment management experience.
