Cookie and Tracking Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
At SiteXNotely, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can control what data gets collected. We're not here to hide behind legal jargon—just straightforward explanations about what happens when you browse sitexnotely.com.
What Tracking Technologies Actually Are
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These are commonly called cookies, though there are other tracking methods too. Think of them as little bookmarks that remember things about your visit—like whether you've logged in, what language you prefer, or which pages you looked at.
Beyond basic cookies, we also use web beacons (tiny invisible images) and local storage (a way to save data directly in your browser). Each technology serves a different purpose, but they all help us understand how people interact with our investment analysis platform.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all cookies are created equal. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to work, while others help us improve your experience or understand our audience better. Here's the breakdown:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log in, navigate between pages securely, or access personalized investment tools. They're non-negotiable if you want to use the platform.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—things like your preferred chart settings, saved watchlists, or notification preferences. They make your experience smoother by not forcing you to reset everything each visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to see which features get used most, where people spend time, and what might be confusing. It helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement in our analysis tools.
Performance Tracking
These monitor technical aspects—page load times, error rates, system performance. If something breaks or runs slowly, these help us identify and fix problems quickly.
How This Actually Helps You
Look, we get it—data collection can feel invasive. But here's the honest truth about why we track certain information:
- Personalized Dashboard: Your investment preferences and saved analyses remain accessible across sessions without manual reconfiguration each time you log in
- Security Monitoring: We detect unusual login patterns or suspicious activity that might indicate your account has been compromised
- Feature Development: Understanding which analytical tools get used most helps us prioritize development resources where they'll benefit users most
- Technical Stability: Performance tracking lets us catch and resolve issues before they affect large numbers of users
- Content Relevance: Seeing which market sectors or investment strategies interest our audience helps us create more relevant educational content
For example, if we notice users frequently switching between stock screeners and portfolio analyzers, we might redesign the interface to make that workflow smoother. Or if analytical reports consistently load slowly in certain regions, we can optimize server distribution accordingly.
Third-Party Services We Work With
We don't do everything in-house. Some services come from external providers who also use tracking technologies:
Analytics platforms help us understand traffic patterns and user behavior across the site. Market data providers track which securities you research to ensure relevant information displays properly. Payment processors use cookies to maintain secure transaction sessions when you upgrade your account.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and data practices. We've vetted them for security and reliability, but they operate independently of SiteXNotely. If you want details about their specific practices, you'll need to check their documentation directly.
Taking Control of Your Privacy
You're not stuck with our default settings. Every modern browser gives you tools to manage cookies and tracking. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or set rules for which sites can track you.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will probably break core functionality—you might not be able to log in or save your work. But blocking analytical or functional cookies won't prevent you from accessing basic features.
Mobile and App-Based Tracking
If you access SiteXNotely through mobile browsers or apps, similar tracking mechanisms apply. Mobile platforms have their own privacy controls—iOS users can manage tracking through Settings, while Android users have Google Play Services options.
Mobile tracking often includes device identifiers and location data (if you've granted permission). We use this to optimize mobile interfaces and ensure market data displays correctly for your region's trading hours and regulations.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different types of data have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies might stick around for months or even years so your settings persist. Analytical data typically gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days.
Security logs remain identifiable longer—usually around 12 months—because we need detailed records to investigate suspicious activity or respond to security incidents. Financial transaction records follow regulatory requirements, which often mandate retention periods of several years.
You can request deletion of your data at any time, though we might need to retain certain information for legal or security reasons even after account closure.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. Sometimes we add new features that require different tracking mechanisms. When we make significant changes to how we collect or use data, we'll update this policy and notify active users.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We recommend checking back occasionally if you're concerned about privacy practices—especially if you notice new features or functionality on the site.
Remember: You always have the right to know what data we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with. If something in this policy isn't clear or you have specific questions about tracking practices, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd rather explain things plainly than have you wonder what's happening behind the scenes.
