Website Data Usage Policy
Understanding how Piralox uses tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience
When you visit piralox.info, we use small data files and similar technologies to make your experience smoother and more personalized. This page explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Last Updated: January 2025
What Are These Technologies?
These are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve our services. Think of them as your website's memory bank—they remember things like your language preference or whether you've visited before.
We also use similar tracking tools like web beacons and pixels. These are tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages that help us understand which content resonates with visitors.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Technologies
These are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. We can't turn these off because the site simply wouldn't work.
Functional Tools
These remember your choices—like your preferred language or region settings. They make your visits more comfortable by personalizing content based on your previous interactions with our site.
Analytical Technologies
We use these to understand how visitors use our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people spend their time? This information helps us create better content and improve navigation.
Marketing Technologies
These track your browsing habits to show you relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. They help us understand which topics interest our audience most.
Why We Use These Technologies
There are practical reasons behind every tracking tool we implement. Here's what they actually do for you:
- Remember your login status so you don't have to sign in repeatedly during the same session
- Keep track of items in your inquiry basket as you browse different sections
- Understand which investment research topics generate the most interest
- Identify technical issues before they affect multiple visitors
- Measure how many people read our market analysis articles versus educational content
- Personalize content recommendations based on what you've previously viewed
- Improve page loading times by caching frequently accessed resources
- Protect your account from unauthorized access attempts
For example, when you return to piralox.info after a few days, functional technologies remember that you prefer viewing European markets data. Analytical tools help us notice that our Belgian market analysis gets significant attention on Tuesday mornings, so we schedule similar content accordingly.
How Long Data Stays Active
Session-Based Technologies
Some tracking tools only last as long as your browsing session. When you close your browser, they disappear. These are primarily used for navigation and security purposes.
Persistent Technologies
Others remain on your device for longer periods—ranging from a few weeks to several months. These remember your preferences across multiple visits. For instance, we might store your language preference for up to six months.
We regularly review stored data and automatically delete information that's no longer necessary. Essential security-related technologies typically remain active for shorter periods, while preference settings might persist longer for your convenience.
Managing Your Preferences
You have control over these technologies. Most browsers let you block or delete tracking files, though this might affect how certain features work.
Browser Configuration Options
- Access your browser's settings menu (usually found under preferences or options)
- Look for privacy or security settings where tracking controls are located
- Choose to block all tracking technologies, only third-party ones, or allow all
- Set your browser to notify you whenever a site wants to store tracking files
- Clear existing stored data through your browser's history or privacy settings
Keep in mind that blocking all tracking technologies might prevent certain features from working. You won't be able to stay logged in between pages, and we won't remember your content preferences.
Third-Party Technologies
Some tracking tools on our site come from external services we use for analytics and content delivery. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. While we carefully select partners who respect user privacy, you should review their policies independently.
Popular analytics platforms and content delivery networks often appear across multiple websites. You can usually opt out of their tracking through their respective websites or through browser extensions designed for this purpose.
Updates to This Policy
As our website evolves and technology changes, we occasionally update how we use tracking technologies. When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
We recommend checking this page periodically if you're interested in how we handle data usage. For substantial changes that affect your privacy choices, we might display a notification on the website.
