Last Updated: January 15, 2025
Understanding Our Tracking Technologies
At Company Arco (arco-gmbh.digital), we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit our career development platform. This policy explains the various tracking technologies we employ and how they enhance your experience while browsing our marketplace growth hacking resources.
Tracking technologies include small data files and code snippets that help websites function properly and provide personalized experiences. Think of them as digital assistants that remember your preferences and help us understand how to improve our services.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functionality
These are absolutely necessary for our website to work. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these, our platform simply wouldn't function.
Performance Analytics
We collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our content. This helps us understand which career development resources are most valuable and where we can improve the user experience.
Personalization Features
These remember your preferences and settings, like language choices or course progress. They make return visits more convenient by maintaining your customized experience.
Marketing Insights
We track engagement with our educational content and promotional materials to understand which growth hacking strategies and career resources resonate most with our audience.

Our career development platform integrates with several external services that may place their own tracking technologies on your device. These include:
- Google Analytics for website performance measurement
- YouTube for embedded educational videos
