Understanding how we use tracking technologies on fluxis-firely.com
Last Updated: March 2025We believe transparency matters when it comes to your data. This policy explains how fluxis-firely.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We're not lawyers writing this—just people who want you to understand what happens when you use our financial scenario modeling platform.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people interact with different features. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
What We Track and Why
Running a financial modeling platform means we need to track certain things. Not because we're nosy, but because without this data, the site wouldn't work properly. Here's what we're actually doing behind the scenes.
Essential Cookies
These keep the platform functional. Without them, you can't log in, save scenarios, or access your modeling workspace. They're necessary for basic operation.
Session management, security tokens, user authentication
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—display preferences, default currency settings, dashboard layouts. They make your experience more personalized each time you return.
Language settings, currency preferences, dashboard customization
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand which features get used most, where people get stuck, and how we can improve the modeling tools. The data helps us make better decisions about development.
Page views, feature usage, session duration, navigation patterns
Performance Cookies
These help us track load times, identify technical issues, and ensure the platform runs smoothly. They're particularly important for complex financial calculations.
Load speed monitoring, error tracking, system performance metrics
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Let's be specific about what this data actually does for you. It's easy to talk about "improving user experience" in vague terms, but here's what happens in practice:
- When you create a financial scenario, cookies remember your input variables so you don't have to re-enter them every session
- Your preferred chart types and visualization settings stay consistent across different modeling projects
- The system learns which calculation templates you use most frequently and surfaces them faster
- Error messages get logged so our development team can fix bugs that affect actual user workflows
- Session data helps us identify when the Taiwan market hours display isn't working correctly for local users
- Performance tracking shows us if specific features slow down on certain devices or browsers
- Usage patterns reveal which educational resources actually help people understand complex modeling concepts
None of this involves selling your data to third parties. We're a financial modeling platform, not an advertising company. The tracking serves one purpose: making the software better at what it does.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You control what gets stored on your device. Every modern browser includes settings for managing cookies. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break core functionality—you won't be able to log in or save your work.
Chrome
Navigate to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose your preference level and manage exceptions for specific sites like fluxis-firely.com.
Firefox
Open Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select standard, strict, or custom protection. You can view and remove individual site cookies from this menu.
Safari
Go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. You'll see a list of sites storing data. Remove fluxis-firely.com entries if you want to reset your tracking preferences.
Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Configure blocking levels and create site-specific exceptions as needed.
Heads up: If you clear cookies frequently or use private browsing mode, you'll need to reconfigure your dashboard preferences each time. The platform won't recognize you as a returning user, which means settings won't persist between sessions.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stick around for different durations. Here's the actual timeline for what we store:
Session Cookies
These disappear when you close your browser. They handle temporary authentication and active session management. Nothing persists beyond your current visit.
Persistent Cookies
These can last anywhere from 30 days to 12 months, depending on their function. Preference settings typically expire after 6 months. Analytics data aggregates after 90 days and becomes anonymous.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication Token | Session only | Keeps you logged into your account |
| Display Preferences | 6 months | Remembers dashboard layout choices |
| Analytics Tracking | 90 days | Measures feature usage and performance |
| Currency Settings | 12 months | Maintains your default currency selection |
| Error Logs | 30 days | Helps developers fix technical issues |
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of external services that set their own cookies. This includes our analytics provider and the infrastructure that hosts the platform. These services process data according to their own privacy policies, though we've chosen providers with strong data protection standards.
We don't work with advertising networks or data brokers. The third-party services we use are strictly functional—hosting, analytics, and system monitoring. If you block third-party cookies entirely, the platform will still work, though we'll lose some visibility into technical performance.
Your Rights and Control
Beyond browser settings, you have options for managing your data. You can request a copy of what we've collected, ask us to delete specific information, or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking.
Essential cookies can't be disabled without breaking the platform, but everything else is optional. If you want analytics turned off for your account specifically, contact our team and we'll configure that manually.
We review and update this policy when we add new features or change tracking methods. Major changes get announced to active users. Minor clarifications happen quietly—check the last updated date at the top if you're curious about recent modifications.
