Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our financial analysis tools. Think of them as digital bookmarks that make your return visits smoother.
These files contain basic information about your browsing session. They don't contain personal details like your name or address, but they do help us recognize you when you come back. Some expire when you close your browser, while others stick around longer to remember your settings.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the foundation that keeps zetrofista.com running properly. Without them, basic functions like secure login or navigation between analysis pages wouldn't work. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site.
- Session management for accessing your saved research
- Security features that protect your account
- Load balancing to keep pages loading quickly
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to set everything up each time you visit. They store things like which markets you follow most closely or how you prefer to view financial data.
- Your preferred chart display settings
- Customized dashboard layouts
- Language and regional preferences
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand which analysis tools people find most helpful and where they might be getting stuck. This data helps us improve the platform based on actual usage patterns rather than guesswork.
- Page visit tracking to see popular content
- Time spent on different analysis sections
- Navigation patterns through research materials
Marketing Cookies
These track your interests across zetrofista.com to show you relevant content about financial topics you're researching. They also help us understand which campaigns bring in the most engaged users.
- Content recommendations based on your reading history
- Campaign performance measurement
- Cross-device recognition for consistent experience
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
When you're analyzing market trends at zetrofista.com, cookies keep track of the sectors you're monitoring. If you're deep into energy sector analysis one day, our system remembers that. Next time you visit, relevant updates appear first instead of making you search through everything.
For our comparison tools, cookies remember which companies or metrics you've been comparing. This saves you from rebuilding complex comparisons from scratch every session. It's particularly helpful when you're tracking multiple industries simultaneously.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can use them. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent parts of zetrofista.com from working properly.
Data Retention Periods
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Essential cookies last only for your current session and disappear when you close the browser. Functional cookies might stick around for up to 12 months so we don't forget your preferences too quickly.
Analytical data gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months. After that point, we can't connect any activity back to individual browsing sessions. Marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days unless you interact with new content.
You can clear all cookies manually through your browser settings at any time. This resets everything, though you'll need to set up your preferences again when you return to zetrofista.com.
Third-Party Services
Some features on zetrofista.com rely on external services that set their own cookies. Our analytics platform, for instance, uses cookies to measure site performance. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.
We work with partners who help us understand user behavior patterns across the financial analysis industry. This means some cookies might track activity beyond just zetrofista.com to provide broader context about market research trends.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly as technology and regulations evolve. When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update the date at the top and notify active users through email or a site banner.
Changes typically reflect new features we've added or adjustments based on feedback from our community of financial professionals. We try to keep things simple while being thorough about what data we collect and why.
