What Tracking Technologies Actually Are

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They remember things like your login status or language preference. Without them, you'd need to re-enter information every time you visit a page.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use:

• Local storage that keeps data in your browser between sessions
• Session tokens that maintain your connection during active use
• Analytics scripts that monitor how our platform performs
• Preference cookies that remember your interface settings

Most of these technologies work quietly in the background. They don't collect personal identifying information unless you've specifically provided it through forms or registration.

How We Use Tracking on techenergiwise.com

Our financial analysis platform requires certain tracking to function. When you access research reports or navigate between different analytical tools, cookies help maintain your session and preferences.

The Types We Deploy

Practical Examples

When you customize your dashboard layout to show specific market sectors first, a functional cookie saves that arrangement. When you're halfway through a detailed financial model and navigate to another page, session storage preserves your work. When we notice that mobile users struggle with a particular chart format, analytics data alerts us to fix it.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last six months to a year. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized within ninety days.

You control most of this through your browser settings. Modern browsers let you block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or even prevent all cookie storage. Be aware that blocking essential cookies will break core platform functionality.

The "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button above removes analytics, functional, and any marketing cookies immediately. Your preference gets saved in local storage so we remember your choice on future visits. You'll still get essential cookies because they're required for the platform to work.

What Happens When You Decline

If you decline non-essential tracking, here's what changes: We won't track which research reports you read or how you navigate the platform. Your dashboard preferences won't save between sessions. We lose visibility into how you use the tools, which means we can't optimize your specific workflow.

You'll still access all content and features. Your login will work normally. Security measures remain active. The trade-off is convenience and personalization versus privacy.

Third-Party Services and External Tracking

Some features on techenergiwise.com use services from external providers. When you view an embedded chart or access certain analytical tools, those services might set their own cookies. We choose partners carefully, but we don't control their tracking policies.

Currently, we integrate with financial data providers for real-time market information and analytics platforms for performance monitoring. These partnerships are essential for delivering professional-grade analysis tools. Each partner has their own privacy policy that governs their data practices.

We don't sell data to third parties or allow arbitrary tracking scripts. Every external service gets evaluated for necessity and data handling practices before integration.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes and so do our practices. When we modify how we use tracking technologies, we'll update this page and note the revision date at the top. Significant changes might trigger an email notification to registered users.

We won't retroactively change how we handle data already collected. If new tracking methods require consent, we'll ask for it explicitly before implementation. Your existing preferences remain valid until you choose to modify them.
