Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you navigate through our comparative analysis tools. Besides cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies.

These technologies don't damage your device. They simply store information that makes your next visit smoother. Some expire when you close your browser, while others stay longer to remember your settings.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you compare two companies side by side, cookies remember that comparison so you can return to it later. If you're in the middle of analyzing financial ratios and need to step away, our session management keeps your work intact.

Our analytical tracking has shown us that users frequently switch between different financial quarters when examining trends. This insight led us to redesign the quarter selection interface, making it more accessible. That's the kind of improvement that tracking data enables.

Practical Examples

• Portfolio tracking remembers which companies you're monitoring without requiring login
• Chart preferences stay consistent across different analysis sessions
• Search history helps you quickly return to previously researched companies
• Performance metrics load faster on repeat visits through cached data

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You control what tracking technologies run on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this might affect site functionality. Here's how different browsers handle cookie management.

If you block all cookies, you'll still be able to view company data and read analysis, but features like saved comparisons and customized dashboards won't work. Session cookies are essential for accessing your account if you're a registered user.

Third-Party Services

We work with external analytics providers to understand site performance. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. The main third-party cookies you'll encounter come from our analytics platform, which tracks page views and user flow through our comparison tools.

We've configured these services to anonymize IP addresses and avoid collecting personally identifiable information wherever possible. Third-party cookies don't give outside companies access to your datafloworg account or any saved financial data.

Data Retention and Storage

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last up to a year so we don't ask you to reset your dashboard layout every visit. Analytical data gets aggregated within days and individual session details are discarded.

We review stored cookie data quarterly and delete anything that's no longer serving a clear purpose. If you haven't visited in over 18 months, all associated cookies expire automatically.

Your Rights and Choices

You can request information about what cookies we've set on your device. You can also ask us to stop using non-essential tracking technologies for your sessions. Keep in mind that opting out of functional cookies means you'll need to reconfigure your preferences each visit.

South Korean users have specific rights under local data protection regulations. If you're accessing our site from South Korea, you can exercise these rights by contacting us directly. We respond to all privacy requests within two weeks.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The date at the top reflects our most recent revision. Significant changes will be announced through our site notification system.

Check back occasionally to stay informed about our data practices. We're committed to transparency about how we collect and use information through tracking technologies.
