Last Updated: January 15, 2025

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit shiftrealm.com, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience and improve our financial analysis platform. These small data files help us understand how you interact with our services and enable personalized features that make your investment research more effective.

Think of cookies as digital breadcrumbs that remember your preferences and activities. They're not harmful to your device – rather, they work behind the scenes to streamline your experience with our financial tools and analysis features.

We believe in transparency about how your data helps us provide better financial analysis tools for investment professionals across South Africa and beyond.

Types of Tracking We Use

We use these to understand which features are most valuable to investment professionals. This data helps us improve our financial analysis tools and develop new capabilities.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work specifically to improve your financial analysis workflow. Here's how they benefit your use of shiftrealm.com:

Personalized Dashboard Features

When you customize your analysis dashboard, we remember those preferences. Your preferred chart types, default time periods, and favorite financial metrics stay consistent across sessions, saving you setup time during busy trading hours.

Streamlined Research Process

We track which analysis tools you use most frequently and optimize their performance. If you regularly access specific market sectors or use particular financial ratios, our system prioritizes loading those resources faster.

Enhanced Security Monitoring

Our tracking helps detect unusual login patterns or suspicious activities on your account. This is particularly important for investment professionals who handle sensitive financial data and need robust security protection.

Specific Benefits You'll Notice:

  • Faster loading times for frequently accessed financial reports
  • Automatic saving of your preferred analysis parameters
  • Customized content recommendations based on your research patterns
  • Seamless navigation between different analysis tools
  • Improved mobile experience when accessing data on tablets or phones

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over how tracking technologies work on your device. While some cookies are essential for shiftrealm.com to function properly, others can be adjusted based on your preferences.

Browser Controls

Every modern browser gives you tools to manage cookies. Here's how to access these controls in popular browsers:

Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
Firefox

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent certain features of our financial analysis platform from working correctly. You might experience issues with login persistence, saved preferences, or customized dashboard layouts.

Data Retention and Your Control

We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and your needs as a financial professional.

Session Data

Information about your current browsing session typically expires when you close your browser or after a period of inactivity. This includes temporary preferences and navigation history within our platform.

Preference Data

Your customized settings and dashboard configurations are stored longer – usually up to two years. This ensures your personalized experience remains consistent even if you don't visit frequently.

Analytics Data

We aggregate usage data for platform improvements, but this information is anonymized and typically retained for 26 months to identify long-term trends in how investment professionals use our tools.

You can request deletion of your stored data at any time by contacting our support team. We'll process these requests within 30 days and confirm the removal of your information.

Third-Party Integrations

Some features on shiftrealm.com integrate with external financial data providers and analysis tools. These partnerships help us deliver comprehensive market information and advanced analytical capabilities.

When you use integrated features, you might encounter cookies from our trusted partners. These typically include market data providers, chart visualization services, and financial news sources that enhance our platform's capabilities.

What This Means for You

Third-party cookies help deliver real-time market data, interactive charts, and comprehensive financial information directly within our platform. However, these external services have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your data.

We carefully select partners who maintain high standards for data protection, particularly important given the sensitive nature of financial information and investment research.

Updates and Changes

As we enhance our financial analysis platform and add new features, our use of tracking technologies may evolve. We'll update this policy to reflect any significant changes in how we collect or use data.

When important changes occur, we'll notify active users through email or platform notifications. For minor updates or clarifications, we'll update the "Last Modified" date at the top of this policy.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, especially if you're a frequent user of our analysis tools. Understanding how your data helps improve our services can help you make informed decisions about your privacy preferences.
