This Cookie Policy explains how FinanceStackHQ uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (https://financestackhq.com). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, FinanceStackHQ) are called «first-party cookies». Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called «third-party cookies». Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as «essential» or «strictly necessary» cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Website Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
- Performance and Functionality Cookies: These are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
- Analytics and Customization Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
4. Google AdSense and DoubleClick Cookie
FinanceStackHQ relies on advertising revenue to maintain our independent data architecture content. We use Google AdSense to serve ads.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
- Google’s use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their previous visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ads Preference Manager.
5. Third-Party Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to help analyze how users use the site. These tools use cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to the analytics providers.
