Cookie & Data Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them like digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our financial analysis platform. At Skill Line, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms.

These technologies work together to create a smoother, more personalized experience when you're using our financial analysis tools. For instance, when you customize your dashboard layout or set specific calculation preferences, we remember these choices so you don't have to reconfigure everything each time you visit.

We also use tracking technologies to understand which features of our financial software are most valuable to our users. This helps us prioritize development efforts and ensure we're building tools that genuinely serve your analytical needs.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you use Skill Line's financial analysis tools, tracking technologies work behind the scenes to make your experience more intuitive and efficient. Here's how this benefits you directly:

Your dashboard remembers which financial metrics you check most frequently, automatically prioritizing them in your view. If you regularly analyze cash flow patterns, our system learns this preference and ensures those tools are easily accessible. Similarly, if you prefer certain chart styles or time periods for your analysis, we'll remember and apply these settings automatically.

Our tracking also helps prevent data loss during complex calculations. If your session is interrupted while you're working on a detailed financial projection, we can often recover your work and settings, saving you valuable time.

For security purposes, we track login patterns to help detect unusual activity on your account. This monitoring helps protect your financial data by identifying potentially unauthorized access attempts.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookie settings through your web browser, though the exact steps vary depending on which browser you're using. Most modern browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, accept only certain types, or delete existing cookies from your device.

• Block all cookies (this may limit platform functionality)
• Accept cookies only from Skill Line (recommended for full functionality)
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Set expiration dates for stored cookies
• Review and delete specific cookies manually

Data Retention and Storage

We store cookie data for different periods depending on their purpose. Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session and are deleted when you close your browser. Preference cookies may be stored for up to one year to remember your settings across multiple visits.

Analytical data is aggregated and anonymized, then retained for up to two years to help us identify long-term usage patterns and improve our financial analysis tools. This data cannot be traced back to individual users and is used solely for platform enhancement purposes.

If you delete your Skill Line account, we remove all associated cookie data within 30 days. You can also request immediate deletion of your tracking data by contacting our support team at any time.

Third-Party Tracking

Some of our financial data feeds and analysis tools integrate with trusted third-party services that may place their own cookies on your device. These partners help us provide real-time market data, currency conversion rates, and other essential financial information.

We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. However, these services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you have concerns about how your data is handled.

You can block third-party cookies specifically through your browser settings while still allowing first-party cookies from Skill Line. This gives you granular control over your tracking preferences.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in our platform, new regulations, or evolving privacy practices. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active users through email and display a notice on our platform.

Minor updates, such as clarifications or additional examples, may be made without notification. We recommend checking this policy periodically, especially if you have specific concerns about data tracking.

Your continued use of Skill Line after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you can adjust your cookie preferences or contact us to discuss your concerns.
