Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
We use tracking technologies on naritholven.com to help our platform work better and understand how visitors interact with our business analysis tools. This page explains what these technologies are, why we need them, and how you can manage them. Think of it as a straightforward conversation about the technical side of running a modern website.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They're basically little notes that help our site remember things about your visit. Some stick around for just one session, others hang out longer.
We also use similar technologies like pixel tags and local storage. These work alongside cookies to give us a complete picture of how people use our financial analysis platform. Without them, you'd need to log in every time you switch pages, and we'd have no idea which features actually help our users.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. They handle logins, secure connections, and basic functionality. You can't really turn these off without breaking everything.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like dashboard layouts and report filters. They make your experience smoother by saving choices between visits.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which features get used most and where people run into trouble. This helps us improve the platform based on real usage patterns.
Marketing Cookies
These track whether visitors came from specific campaigns or sources. Helps us understand what brings people to our business analysis services.
How We Actually Use This Data
The information from cookies serves several practical purposes across our platform:
- Keeping you logged into your analysis dashboard as you move between financial reports
- Remembering your preferred date ranges and comparison metrics
- Tracking which analytical tools get used most frequently by businesses in different sectors
- Identifying technical issues that affect report generation or data visualization
- Understanding which educational resources actually help users improve their financial literacy
- Measuring how long it takes users to complete typical analysis workflows
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're not stuck with our cookie settings. Every modern browser gives you control over what gets stored and what doesn't. The process varies slightly depending on what you're using.

Check your browser's settings menu. Most mobile browsers put cookie controls under Privacy or Site Settings, similar to desktop versions.
How Long We Keep Things

Third-Party Technologies
We work with a few external services that help us run the platform. These partners might set their own cookies when you use naritholven.com. Analytics providers help us understand usage patterns, and our hosting infrastructure uses cookies for security and performance optimization.
When you interact with embedded content or shared resources, those third parties might track that activity according to their own policies. We try to work with partners who respect user privacy, but you should know they operate independently from us.
Changes to This Policy
We update this page when we add new tracking technologies or change how we handle existing ones. Major changes will show up here with a new date at the top. If we make significant modifications to what data we collect or how we use it, we'll let active users know through their dashboard.
It's worth checking back occasionally, especially if you're particular about privacy settings. The tracking landscape changes as browsers add new features and regulations evolve.
