Checking preferences...What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites place on your device. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember who you are and what you were doing. They're not programs and can't carry viruses—they're just simple data storage.
At taskplanpost, we use these tracking tools to make your financial modeling education smoother. When you're working through complex Excel tutorials or building your first discounted cash flow model, cookies help us remember where you left off.
We've been teaching financial modeling to professionals across the Philippines since 2023, and we've learned that personalized learning paths work better. That's where tracking comes in—it helps us understand which lessons resonate and which need improvement.
The Cookies We Use
Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to work, while others help us improve your experience or understand how students interact with our content.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, access course materials, or navigate between lessons. They're the foundation of your learning experience.
- Session management for logged-in students
- Security tokens to protect your account
- Progress tracking within courses
- Language and region preferences
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. They're what make the site feel personalized to you—remembering your dashboard layout or which Excel shortcuts you prefer.
- Video playback settings and quality preferences
- Dashboard customization choices
- Course filter and sorting preferences
- Accessibility settings you've configured
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how students interact with our financial modeling courses. They tell us which topics are challenging and which lessons students breeze through.
- Time spent on different lesson types
- Navigation patterns through course materials
- Search terms students use to find content
- Device and browser information for optimization
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant course recommendations. If you've been exploring investment banking models, we'll suggest related corporate finance content that builds on what you're learning.
- Course recommendations based on your interests
- Personalized email content suggestions
- Related topic suggestions during browsing
- Cross-platform learning continuity
Why We Track Your Activity
Here's the honest truth: tracking helps us build better courses. When we see that students in Manila are struggling with a particular valuation concept while those in Cebu get it quickly, we know we need to revise that lesson.
We're not selling your data or building advertising profiles. We're a small educational platform focused on helping finance professionals across the Philippines build practical modeling skills. The data stays with us and gets used to improve your learning experience.
For example, we noticed in late 2024 that students were rewatching our depreciation schedule videos multiple times. That told us the explanation wasn't clear enough, so we rebuilt that entire module in early 2025. That kind of improvement only happens because we track how content performs.
Taking Control of Your Data
You're not stuck with our default settings. The button at the top of this page lets you reject all non-essential tracking right now. One click and we'll only use the essential cookies needed to keep the site functional.

How Long We Keep This Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Some disappear the moment you close your browser, while others stick around for months. Here's what we use and for how long:

Third-Party Services
We use a few external tools to run the platform effectively. Our video hosting service tracks playback statistics, and we use standard analytics software to monitor site performance. These partners have their own privacy policies, and they process data according to their terms.
We're selective about which third parties we work with. Every service we integrate has to meet basic privacy standards and provide clear value to our students. We don't share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes and so do privacy standards. We'll update this policy when we add new tracking tools or change how we use existing ones. When significant changes happen, we'll notify enrolled students via email.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. Check back occasionally if you want to stay current with how we handle tracking on taskplanpost.com.
