Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
This policy explains how flowspotx uses tracking technologies on our website. We believe you should understand what data we collect and why—so you can make informed decisions about your browsing experience.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most websites use them—they've become standard practice since around 1994. And honestly, the modern web wouldn't work very well without them.
When you visit flowspotx.com, we use several types of tracking technologies. Some are necessary for the site to function. Others help us understand how people use our platform so we can make it better.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
1 Essential Cookies
These keep the website running properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, navigate between pages, or use most features. They're required for basic functionality.
What they do:
- Remember your login session so you don't get kicked out every time you click something
- Keep track of your language and regional preferences
- Maintain security settings and verify your identity
- Store your privacy preferences about cookies themselves
2 Functional Cookies
These make your experience smoother by remembering your choices. The site will work without them, but you'll have a better time with them enabled.
What they do:
- Remember your display preferences like chart types and timeframes
- Store your watchlist selections between sessions
- Keep track of which educational materials you've already viewed
- Save your dashboard layout customizations
3 Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our platform. The data helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement.
What they track:
- Which pages get visited most often and how long people stay
- Where visitors come from before landing on our site
- Which educational resources are most popular
- Error messages and technical issues that users encounter
4 Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant content and measure how effective our communications are. They also prevent you from seeing the same message repeatedly.
What they do:
- Track which promotional materials you've already seen
- Measure how many people sign up after viewing specific content
- Help us understand which marketing channels bring interested visitors
- Show you educational content that matches your interests

If you're browsing on a phone or tablet, cookie settings are usually found in your browser app's settings menu. The process is similar to desktop browsers.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data

These organizations have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them if you're curious about how they handle data. We choose our partners carefully and only work with services that meet our privacy standards.
