Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Stockwhiz uses cookies, browser storage, pixels, and similar technologies (together “cookies”) when you visit our website or use our features. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, understand how visitors use the site, and support security and functionality. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and device tokens used for notifications.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Required for the service: authentication sessions, sign-in state, security tokens, and CSRF protection. These are necessary to provide your account and keep it secure.
• Preferences and performance: settings such as notification choices, watchlist display, consent status, and UI state so the site works smoothly on return visits.
• Analytics: understanding how visitors navigate Stockwhiz, which features are used, and how we can improve performance and reliability. We use Google Analytics for aggregated usage information.
• Communications and notifications: when you enable push notifications, your browser may store a device token so alerts can be delivered.
• Payments: Stripe and related providers may use their own cookies or identifiers to process payments securely and prevent fraud.

Some cookies are set by trusted providers that help us deliver Stockwhiz, including our cloud host, authentication provider, analytics provider (Google Analytics), payment processor (Stripe), email delivery service, and push-notification infrastructure. These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell cookie data or personal information for money.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or block third-party cookies. Blocking required cookies may prevent sign-in and other core features from working correctly.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can disable push notifications in your browser or device settings at any time.

Cookie retention periods vary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, such as those remembering your consent or keeping you signed in, may remain for days or months depending on their purpose. You can remove them manually through browser settings.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our service or providers change. The updated date will appear above. For questions, contact connect@stockwhiz.ai.
