1 What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital Post-it notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At ProCurrentStreamNova, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies to provide you with a better user experience and understand how our platform is used.

These technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. Each serves specific purposes in making our budget benchmarking platform more efficient and user-friendly. Some are absolutely necessary for basic functionality, while others help us improve our services based on user behavior patterns.

2 Types of Tracking Used on Our Platform

3 How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you use our budget benchmarking tools, tracking technologies help personalize your experience in meaningful ways. For instance, they remember which budget categories you work with most frequently, so those appear first in your dashboard. They also help us load your financial comparison charts faster by caching frequently accessed data.

4 Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of tracking data have varying retention periods. Essential cookies typically last for your browser session or up to one year, depending on their function. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 14 months, while marketing cookies generally expire after 90 days.

You have significant control over these technologies. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies entirely. However, blocking essential cookies will limit your ability to use certain platform features, particularly those requiring user authentication or data persistence.

5 Managing Your Browser Settings

Each browser handles cookie management differently. Here are the common keyboard shortcuts and menu locations for popular browsers to help you access cookie settings quickly:

For mobile devices, cookie settings are typically found in your browser's privacy or security sections. iOS Safari users can manage cookies through Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security, while Android Chrome users should look in Chrome Settings > Site Settings > Cookies.

6 Third-Party Tracking Services

ProCurrentStreamNova works with carefully selected third-party services to provide analytics, security, and performance monitoring. These include Google Analytics for understanding user behavior, Cloudflare for security and performance optimization, and educational content delivery networks.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We encourage reviewing their policies if you want detailed information about how they process tracking data. We only work with services that meet international privacy standards and provide users with control options.
