Last updated: December 2024 | Effective immediately for all users of scholavithen.com
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that help websites function properly and understand how visitors interact with their content. At Scholavithen, we use several types of tracking methods to provide you with personalized retirement planning guidance and improve our platform's performance.
These technologies work behind the scenes to remember your preferences, analyze which retirement planning tools are most helpful, and ensure our financial calculators work correctly across different devices. Think of them as digital assistants that make your experience smoother and more relevant to your financial goals.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Our tracking systems help us understand which retirement planning resources resonate most with our users, allowing us to continuously improve our educational content and financial tools. This data-driven approach ensures we're providing the most valuable insights for your retirement journey.

Impact of Blocking Tracking
Disabling certain tracking technologies may affect your experience on Scholavithen. You might need to re-enter retirement planning parameters more frequently, and our ability to provide personalized content recommendations will be limited. However, all core educational content and basic calculators will continue to function normally.
