Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At flickercharge, we use tracking technologies to enhance your experience while you navigate our platform. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. We believe in transparency, so here's everything you need to know about how we collect and use data on flickercharge.com.

What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small data files or code snippets that help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with them. When you visit flickercharge.com, these technologies work quietly in the background to make your experience smoother and more personalized.

Most modern websites use similar approaches. Some technologies store information directly on your device, while others send data back to our servers. The information collected can range from basic browsing patterns to specific interactions with our machine learning analytics tools.

Types of Tracking We Use

We've organized our tracking methods into four main categories. Each serves a different purpose, and understanding these helps you make informed decisions about your data.

Essential

Required for basic site functionality. Without these, core features like secure login and data visualization won't work properly.

Functional

Remember your preferences and settings. These help us recall your dashboard layout, language choices, and chart customizations.

Analytical

Help us understand how you use our platform. We analyze which features get the most attention and where users spend their time.

Performance

Measure system efficiency and load times. These let us optimize our machine learning algorithms and improve processing speed.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Let me give you some concrete examples of what this means for your daily use of flickercharge.

Personalized Dashboard Settings

When you arrange your data visualization widgets in a specific order or choose certain chart types, we remember that. Next time you log in, everything appears exactly how you left it. This saves you time and keeps your workflow consistent.

Smart Data Loading

Our tracking helps us understand which financial datasets you access most frequently. We can then pre-load or cache that information, making your analytics appear faster. If you always check currency exchange patterns on Monday mornings, we'll have that data ready before you even click.

Security Monitoring

We track login patterns to spot unusual activity. If someone tries to access your account from an unexpected location or device, our system flags it. This isn't about invading privacy — it's about protecting your financial data from unauthorized access.

Feature Development

By analyzing which tools get used most and where people struggle, we can improve our platform. Maybe everyone exits the reporting module at the same step. That tells us something needs fixing there. Your usage patterns directly influence what we build next.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of tracking data have different lifespans on our systems:

Data Type Retention Period Purpose
Session Data Active session only Maintains your login state while you work
Preference Settings 12 months or until changed Remembers your customizations and choices
Analytics Information 24 months Helps us identify long-term usage trends
Security Logs 36 months Required for audit trails and investigations

After these periods expire, we either anonymize the data (removing all identifying information) or delete it entirely from our servers. You can request early deletion of your data by contacting our support team.

Managing Your Preferences

You have several options for controlling how we track your activity on flickercharge.com.

Browser Settings

Modern browsers give you granular control over tracking technologies. You can block all tracking, allow only certain types, or clear stored data whenever you want. Keep in mind that blocking essential tracking may prevent parts of our platform from working correctly.

Account Dashboard Controls

Once you're logged into flickercharge, visit your account settings. There's a dedicated privacy section where you can toggle different tracking categories. You'll see exactly what each category does and can enable or disable them individually.

What Happens When You Opt Out

If you disable non-essential tracking, here's what changes:

  • Your dashboard resets to default settings each time you log in
  • Chart preferences and custom views don't persist between sessions
  • Data loading might be slower since we can't predict your needs
  • You'll see generic content instead of recommendations based on your usage
  • Some personalization features become unavailable

Essential tracking stays active because the platform literally can't function without it. But everything else is your choice.

Third-Party Services

We work with a small number of trusted third-party providers who help us deliver our services. These include infrastructure providers for hosting, analytics platforms for understanding usage patterns, and security services that protect against threats.

Each third-party service we use has been vetted for security and privacy practices. They process data according to strict agreements that limit how they can use your information. We never sell your data to advertisers or marketing companies.

When you use flickercharge.com, some data may be processed by servers located in regions that support our global infrastructure. However, all processing follows the same privacy standards regardless of physical location.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes fast, and so do privacy regulations. We review this policy regularly and update it when necessary. If we make significant changes that affect how we collect or use your data, we'll notify you through email and an in-platform message.

The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you have specific privacy concerns.

Technical Details for Developers

For those interested in the technical implementation, here are some specifics about our tracking infrastructure:

  • We use secure, HTTP-only flags on authentication tokens to prevent client-side script access
  • Session identifiers rotate regularly and expire after periods of inactivity
  • All tracking data transmits over encrypted HTTPS connections
  • Our analytics system aggregates data before analysis to protect individual privacy
  • Cross-site tracking is blocked by default through same-site policies
  • We implement content security policies that restrict third-party script execution
