What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as digital notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At Flowflashstream, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience and understand how our platform serves financial education needs.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms. These technologies work together to create a seamless educational experience while respecting your privacy choices. When you access our valuation techniques courses or financial analysis tools, these technologies help us remember your progress and preferences.
How Tracking Works on Our Platform
When you visit flowflashstream.com, our systems automatically collect certain information through these technologies. This includes which pages you view, how long you spend studying different financial concepts, and which valuation methods interest you most. We use this data to improve our educational content and make your learning journey more effective.
Specific Technologies We Use
Our platform employs Google Analytics to understand user behavior patterns, particularly how students engage with different valuation techniques modules. We also use session cookies to maintain your login state and remember which financial analysis tools you've accessed during your visit.
For users accessing our platform from Vietnam, we utilize location-based cookies to provide relevant financial market examples and case studies that reflect local economic conditions. This helps make abstract valuation concepts more tangible and applicable to real-world scenarios.
Data Retention and Your Control
Most cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others may persist for up to two years. You maintain complete control over these technologies through your browser settings or by using our cookie preference controls above. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 14 months.

Third-Party Services and Integration
Some cookies are placed by third-party services integrated into our platform. These include educational content delivery networks, video streaming services for our financial analysis tutorials, and assessment tools used in our valuation technique courses. Each service operates under its own privacy policy, though we've selected partners who share our commitment to user privacy.
When you interact with embedded content like financial calculation tools or market data feeds, these services may set their own cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services if you have specific concerns about their data practices.
