What This Page Actually Covers
We use tracking technologies on cognitflashhubly.com. This page explains what they are, why we need them, and how you can manage them. It's not the most exciting read, but it's important if you care about your online privacy.
When you visit our site, small data files get stored on your device. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how people use our platform so we can make it better. And yes, some are used for advertising purposes.
How These Tracking Technologies Actually Work
Think of these as tiny notes that your browser and our server exchange. When you visit cognitflashhubly.com, our server sends information to your browser. Your browser stores it. Next time you come back, your browser sends that information back to us.
This exchange happens automatically. It's how we remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and recognize returning visitors. Without this basic functionality, you'd have to re-enter everything every single time you visited.
Different Types We Use
Essential Ones
These keep the site functioning. They handle your login sessions, remember your language preference, and maintain security. You can't turn these off because the site literally won't work without them.
Functional Tracking
These remember your choices - like which working capital metrics you prefer to see first, or if you've dismissed certain help messages. They make your experience more personalized without collecting sensitive data.
Analytics Tools
We use these to see which pages get visited most, where people spend time, and where they drop off. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. The data is aggregated, not individual.
Marketing Related
These track your activity across sites to show you relevant ads. If you've looked at our working capital resources, you might see related content elsewhere. These are the ones people usually want to block.
Take Control Right Now
You have the right to reject non-essential tracking. Click below to opt out of analytics and marketing technologies. Essential ones will remain active to keep the site functional.
Current Status: Not Set
What Stays and What Goes
When you reject non-essential tracking, here's what happens:
Essential tracking remains active: Login sessions, security tokens, language preferences, and basic site functionality continue working normally.
Everything else gets removed. That includes:
- Google Analytics tracking codes that monitor page views and user behavior
- Advertising identifiers that follow you across websites
- Social media pixels that track your engagement
- Third-party marketing tools that build user profiles
- Heat mapping software that records where you click
Your preference gets saved in your browser's local storage. If you clear your browser data, you'll need to make this choice again next time you visit.
Managing Through Your Browser
You can also control this stuff directly through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or delete these tracking files. Here's how:
Chrome
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner
- Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security
- Click on "Cookies and other site data"
- Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies"
- You can also click "See all site data and permissions" to remove specific ones
Firefox
- Click the menu button and select Settings
- Select Privacy & Security on the left
- Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, choose Strict
- Or customize which trackers to block
- Click "Manage Data" to remove stored information
Safari
- Open Safari Preferences from the menu
- Go to the Privacy tab
- Check "Prevent cross-site tracking"
- You can also block all cookies, though this breaks many sites
- Click "Manage Website Data" to see and remove specific items
Edge
- Click the three dots and select Settings
- Go to Privacy, search, and services
- Set Tracking prevention to Strict
- Under "Clear browsing data," choose what to remove
- Select "Cookies and other site data" and click Clear now
Keep in mind that blocking everything can break website functionality. Some sites won't let you log in, others won't remember your preferences. It's a trade-off between privacy and convenience.
Specific Tracking We Use on This Site
Here's a breakdown of what actually runs on cognitflashhubly.com. We believe in transparency, so this table shows you exactly what's happening behind the scenes.

How Long We Keep This Data
Different types of tracking have different lifespans. Session-based ones disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
Essential security tokens last only for your current session. Functional preferences typically last six months to a year - long enough to be useful, but not forever. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months. Marketing identifiers usually expire after 90 days, though some ad networks keep them longer.
You can delete any of this data at any time using the button above or through your browser settings. Once deleted, it's gone from your device. Our servers might retain aggregated analytics data, but it's no longer connected to you personally.
Third-Party Services
Some of the tracking on our site comes from external services we use. Google Analytics is the big one. We also use Facebook pixels if you came to our site through a Facebook ad.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. When you use our site, you're also subject to their terms. We've tried to choose reputable services, but we don't control how they handle data once it leaves our servers.
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install their browser add-on. For Facebook tracking, adjust your ad preferences in your Facebook account settings.
Updates to This Policy
We update this page when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes.
If we make significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on the site. Minor updates might happen without notification, so it's worth checking back occasionally if you care about these details.
