Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on soraviquent.com
Last Updated: March 2025
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on soraviquent.com. Not the chocolate chip kind (though we wish), but small data files that help our website work properly and remember your preferences.
This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in transparency, so we've written this in plain English rather than dense legal jargon.
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They're essentially memory aids for websites—helping us remember things like your login status, language preference, or which pages you've visited.
Think of them as digital sticky notes. When you return to our site, we can read these notes and provide a smoother experience tailored to you.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These all serve comparable functions but work slightly differently under the hood.
Not all cookies are created equal. Here's what we deploy on soraviquent.com and why:
These are the non-negotiables. They keep our website functional and secure. Without them, basic features like navigation and access to secure areas simply wouldn't work.
You can't opt out of these because they're required for the site to operate. They don't track you across other websites or collect personal information beyond what's necessary for the session.
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices. They're what make the site feel personalized rather than generic.
For instance, if you've selected a specific calculator tool or set certain preferences for how you view budget templates, functional cookies remember these choices for your next visit.
These help us understand how visitors interact with soraviquent.com. We learn which resources are most valuable, where people get stuck, and what content resonates.
The data is aggregated and anonymized. We're not tracking you personally—we're looking at patterns across all visitors to improve our educational content and tools.
These track your activity to deliver more relevant content and communications. They help us show you information about programs or resources that align with your interests.
Marketing cookies may follow you across other websites. If you see soraviquent content elsewhere online, these cookies help connect those dots.
Let's get specific about the benefits. When you're logged in, cookies keep you logged in as you navigate between pages. That sounds basic, but without this functionality, you'd need to re-authenticate constantly.
If you're researching audit preparation resources, we can remember which guides you've already viewed. This prevents you from clicking on the same article three times wondering if you've read it before.
Our analytical insights help us refine content. When we notice that many visitors struggle with a particular concept, we create additional resources or restructure existing ones. Your usage patterns (aggregated with everyone else's) directly influence how we develop educational materials.
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies vary—some last a few days, others up to 24 months. We regularly review and clear outdated data. Marketing cookies typically have the longest lifespan, but you can delete them anytime through your browser settings.
You have control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or delete existing ones. Here's how to manage settings in popular browsers:
Navigate to Settings, then Privacy and Security. Click on "Cookies and other site data" to customize your preferences. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or manage exceptions for specific sites.
Open Settings and select Privacy & Security from the left menu. Under "Cookies and Site Data," you'll find options ranging from standard blocking to strict protection. Firefox also offers a "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option.
Access Preferences, then go to the Privacy tab. Safari offers straightforward controls to block all cookies or just third-party ones. You can also see which websites have stored data and remove it selectively.
Click Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Edge provides options to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or manage site-specific permissions. There's also a clear data function for removing existing cookies.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will impact site functionality. You might experience issues logging in, saving preferences, or accessing certain features. We recommend allowing essential cookies at minimum.
Some cookies on soraviquent.com come from third-party services we use—things like analytics platforms, email marketing tools, or embedded content. We carefully select these partners and ensure they meet privacy standards.
However, we can't control third-party cookies beyond choosing whether to work with those providers. Their cookies are subject to their own privacy policies. If you're concerned about third-party tracking, browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can help.
Current Third-Party Services:
We use analytics services to understand site performance and visitor behavior. These providers may set their own cookies to track cross-site activity. We've configured our analytics to respect user privacy as much as possible, including IP anonymization.
Email campaign platforms help us communicate with people who've signed up for updates. These may place cookies to track email opens and link clicks, helping us understand which communications are valuable.
Technology evolves, and so do our practices. We review this policy regularly and update it when necessary. When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top and may notify active users through email or a site banner.
We recommend checking back occasionally if you're concerned about how we handle cookies and tracking technologies.
We're here to help clarify anything that's unclear. Reach out to our team if you have specific questions about cookies, tracking, or your data.
We respect your data choices. This website uses minimal cookies to remember your preferences and analyze site performance. You control how we handle your information. Review our approach
