Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
This policy explains how intellisyncnet uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and how it helps us serve financial modeling analysts in Vietnam and beyond with better educational resources.
Your Current Cookie Status
Cookies Accepted
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as tiny notes that help the website remember who you are and what you prefer. Some cookies stick around for months, while others disappear the moment you close your browser.
We use cookies to understand how analysts interact with our financial modeling courses and to make sure the platform works smoothly. Without certain cookies, you wouldn't be able to log in or track your progress through our learning materials.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential
These cookies keep the platform functional. They handle your login sessions, remember your course progress, and make sure pages load correctly. You can't disable these because the site wouldn't work without them. They're the foundation of your learning experience on intellisyncnet.
Functional
These remember your preferences like language settings, which modules you've collapsed or expanded, and your preferred view modes for financial models. They make returning to the platform feel seamless and personalized to your workflow.
Analytics
We use these to understand which course sections get the most attention and where students might be struggling. This helps us refine our curriculum and create better content. For example, if many analysts replay a specific DCF modeling video, we know that section might need clearer explanation.
Marketing
These cookies help us show you relevant information about new courses or program updates. They track which pages you visit so we can understand your interests and share content that actually matters to your professional development as a financial analyst.
How We Actually Use This Data
Let me be honest with you. When an analyst spends extra time on our Excel modeling tutorials, that tells us something valuable. Maybe the content is engaging, or maybe it's confusing and needs work. We look at these patterns across hundreds of users to spot trends.
Practical Examples
- When you pause a valuation techniques video, we note the timestamp to help you resume exactly where you left off next time
- If you repeatedly access certain financial statements templates, we'll suggest related advanced courses
- When traffic from Vietnam peaks during evening hours, we schedule system maintenance for off-peak times
- If mobile users struggle with complex spreadsheet interfaces, we prioritize responsive design improvements
We're not collecting personal financial data or anything invasive. The focus is on learning behavior and platform usage patterns that help us build better educational tools for analysts.
Data Retention Practices
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session Cookies: Deleted immediately when you close your browser. These handle temporary tasks like keeping you logged in during active use.
Persistent Cookies: Remain for specific periods ranging from 30 days to 2 years depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies typically last 13 months, while preference cookies might persist for 24 months.
Marketing Cookies: Usually expire after 90 days unless you interact with our content, which may reset the timer.
You can delete all cookies at any time through your browser settings. When you do this, you'll need to log in again and reset your preferences, but sometimes a fresh start feels good.
Managing Your Browser Settings
Every major browser gives you control over cookies. The process varies slightly, but the principle is the same. You can block all cookies, accept all cookies, or pick and choose based on the site.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break parts of intellisyncnet. You won't be able to access course materials or track your learning progress. But for analytics and marketing cookies, you have full control.

Third-Party Cookies
We sometimes use services from other companies that set their own cookies. For instance, if we embed a financial modeling demonstration video from a hosting platform, that platform might set cookies to track playback quality and viewing preferences.
These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they use cookie data. We try to work only with reputable providers, but you should know that their practices are separate from ours. When you reject marketing cookies on intellisyncnet, we signal these third parties to respect your choice, but their compliance depends on their own systems.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes and so do privacy regulations. We update this cookie policy periodically to reflect new practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify users through email or a prominent notice on the platform.
The current version was updated in March 2025 to align with evolving data protection standards and to add clearer explanations about how we use analytics data to improve our financial modeling curriculum.
