This Cookie Policy explains how Analyzing Market uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It is designed to be read alongside our privacy policy, which describes our broader approach to handling information. Our philosophy is the same here as everywhere on the site: we keep things minimal, we do not build advertising profiles, and we give you control over what is stored on your device.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They are widely used to make sites work properly, to remember your preferences between visits, and to help site owners understand how their pages are used. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can perform comparable functions. A cookie cannot run programs or carry viruses; it simply holds small pieces of information that your browser sends back to the site.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies sparingly and only for clear purposes. Broadly, they fall into the categories below.
Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to function as you expect. For example, they allow us to remember your light or dark theme preference so the site looks the way you left it. Because the site relies on these to work, they are always active, but they do not track you across other websites.
Analytics cookies
If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand, in aggregate, which pages visitors look at so we can improve our content and structure. This tells us, for instance, that our markets page or gainers list is popular, without identifying you personally. We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.
Types of Cookies We May Use
- Strictly necessary cookies that enable core functionality and remember basic preferences.
- Analytics cookies, where enabled, that gather aggregate information about how the site is used.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about you across unrelated websites. Our goal is to run a useful site, not to follow you around the web.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on the site, such as embedded charts or analytics, may set their own cookies. These are controlled by the third party that provides the feature and are governed by that party’s own policies rather than ours. The figures we display draw on providers described on our methodology page, and disabling third-party cookies may affect how some of these features function.
Managing and Controlling Cookies
You are in control of cookies. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies and notify you when a site tries to set one. The exact steps differ between browsers, but the controls are generally found in the settings or preferences menu.
- In Chrome, look under Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
- In Firefox, open Settings, then Privacy & Security, and review the Cookies and Site Data section.
- In Safari, check Preferences or Settings, then the Privacy tab.
- In Edge, open Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
From these menus you can usually clear existing cookies, block new ones, or set the browser to ask each time. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works, for example by not remembering your theme preference.
Why We Keep Cookies Minimal
Many websites rely on extensive cookie networks to track behaviour and serve targeted advertising. We have deliberately chosen a different path. Because Analyzing Market is an independent education and market-data project, we have little reason to follow visitors across the web, and doing so would conflict with the privacy-respecting principles described in our privacy policy. Keeping cookies minimal also keeps the site faster and simpler. The trade-off is small: occasionally a feature that depends on third-party cookies may not work fully if you block them.
Cookies and Your Privacy Choices
The information that essential and analytics cookies handle is limited and, in the case of analytics, used in aggregate so it does not identify you. If you would like to understand the full picture of how we treat information, including your rights depending on your location, please read our privacy policy. You can also reach out through our contact page with any request about the data we hold.
Your Consent and Control
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can clear or block cookies at any time through your browser settings as described above. Where consent is required, we ask for it before setting any non-essential cookies, rather than assuming agreement. This keeps the choice in your hands and reflects the same minimal, consent-first approach set out in our privacy policy. If you ever want to revisit a choice, simply clear the relevant cookies and the site will ask again where applicable.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add a new feature or change how the site works. Any material changes will be reflected on this page, so we encourage you to check back occasionally. For the terms governing your overall use of the site, see our Terms of Use.
