Understanding Our Data Collection Practices
Last Updated: December 2024
Introduction to Our Tracking Technologies
At Veltraximo, we believe transparency about data collection builds trust. This comprehensive policy explains exactly how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on veltraximo.com to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy choices.
Our financial modeling platform relies on sophisticated data processing, and understanding how we collect and use information helps you make informed decisions about your interaction with our services. We've designed this policy to be thorough yet accessible, avoiding technical jargon wherever possible.
We operate under UK data protection regulations and maintain strict standards for data handling. Your control over these technologies remains paramount in our approach to user privacy.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Function
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember information about your visit. These files typically contain a unique identifier and specific data about your preferences or actions.
When you return to our site, your browser sends these cookies back to our servers, allowing us to recognize you and customize your experience accordingly. The process happens automatically and invisibly, requiring no action from you beyond your initial consent choices.
Technical Operation
Our tracking technologies operate through several mechanisms. Browser cookies store data locally on your device with expiration dates we set. Session storage maintains information only during your current visit, while local storage persists until manually cleared. Server-side tracking correlates this information with our database systems to provide personalized experiences.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These fundamental cookies enable core website functionality. They manage your login sessions, remember your language preferences, and ensure security features work properly. Without these, basic site operations would fail.
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering choices you make. They store your dashboard layout preferences, model parameter settings, and notification preferences, creating a more personalized interaction with our platform.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They collect anonymous information about page views, time spent on different sections, and common user pathways, helping us improve our platform's design and functionality.
Performance Cookies
These cookies monitor our platform's technical performance, tracking loading times, error rates, and system responsiveness. This data helps us optimize our financial modeling tools for better user experience.
Specific Implementations
Our essential cookies include authentication tokens that keep you logged in securely, CSRF protection tokens that prevent unauthorized actions, and session identifiers that maintain your current state across page loads. These operate continuously while you use our platform.
Functional cookies store your customization choices, including preferred chart types for financial data visualization, default time periods for analysis, and saved model configurations. These remain active for extended periods to maintain consistency across visits.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies directly improve your interaction with Veltraximo's financial modeling capabilities. When you customize dashboard layouts, cookies remember these preferences, ensuring consistent presentation across sessions without requiring repeated setup.
- Automated login recognition eliminates repetitive credential entry while maintaining security standards
- Personalized model recommendations based on your previous analysis patterns and preferences
- Optimized loading times through cached preferences and pre-loaded content based on usage patterns
- Error prevention by remembering successful configuration combinations and warning about problematic settings
- Progress preservation that saves your work automatically, preventing data loss during extended analysis sessions
- Interface adaptation that adjusts complexity levels based on your demonstrated expertise and comfort with advanced features
Beyond convenience, our tracking enables sophisticated features like collaborative workspace synchronization, where multiple team members can work on financial models with coordinated access controls and change tracking.
Data Retention and Storage Practices
Different types of cookies have varying lifespans based on their purpose and legal requirements. Session cookies expire immediately when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain active for months or years depending on their function.
Short-term Storage
Session cookies and temporary analytics data are purged within 24 hours of your visit ending.
Medium-term Storage
Functional preferences and performance data persist for 6-12 months to maintain consistent user experience.
Long-term Storage
Security tokens and critical authentication data may persist for up to 2 years, with regular refresh cycles for security.
We regularly audit stored data, removing expired or unnecessary information automatically. Our systems implement automatic purging schedules that ensure compliance with data minimization principles while maintaining functionality.
Managing Your Preferences
You maintain complete control over cookie acceptance and can modify your preferences at any time. Most browsers provide built-in tools for managing these settings, though the exact process varies between different browser applications.
Browser Configuration Methods
Chrome users can access cookie settings through Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. Here you can block all cookies, allow only essential ones, or create custom rules for specific websites including veltraximo.com.
Firefox provides similar controls under Settings > Privacy & Security, where you can choose standard, strict, or custom protection levels. The custom option allows granular control over different types of tracking technologies.
Safari users can modify cookie settings through Preferences > Privacy, with options ranging from complete blocking to allowing all cookies. Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention provides additional automatic protections.
Important Consideration: Blocking essential cookies may impair core functionality of our financial modeling platform, potentially preventing login access or causing data loss during analysis sessions.
Third-Party Integration and Data Sharing
Some cookies on our platform originate from carefully selected third-party services that enhance our financial modeling capabilities. These partners operate under strict data handling agreements and privacy standards aligned with our commitment to user protection.
Analytics providers help us understand user behavior patterns without accessing personally identifiable information. Performance monitoring services detect technical issues and optimization opportunities. Security services protect against fraudulent access attempts and maintain platform integrity.
We never sell cookie data to marketing companies or share personal information with unauthorized parties. Any third-party integration undergoes thorough privacy impact assessment before implementation.
Updates and Policy Changes
This cookie policy evolves alongside our platform development and changing privacy regulations. We review and update these practices regularly, ensuring continued compliance with UK data protection standards and emerging best practices in user privacy.
Significant changes to our tracking practices will be communicated through prominent website notices and direct communication to registered users. Minor updates, such as clarifications or additional detail, may be implemented with updated timestamps on this policy page.
We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our current practices, especially if you have customized your cookie preferences or use advanced features of our financial modeling platform.
