Cookies in The Independent Investor.
The Independent Investor uses “cookies” to enhance your experience in going through our content and to ensure that we are able to meet your preferences.
A “cookie” is a block of data that a web server places on a user’s computer system. Typically, it is used to ease navigation through the site. However, it is also a useful means of the website identifying the user, tracking the user’s path through the site, and identifying repeat visits to the site by the same user (or same user’s machine). This can then lead to a website owner being able to profile an individual user’s browsing habits – and all potentially done without the knowledge, or consent, of the user.
The cookies The Independent Investor uses are the following:
- Preference cookies – The Independent Investor saves in a preference cookie your settings in browsing our website, such as country settings, language, settings, and categories of content you wish to see first, among others.
- Analytics cookies – This cookie will tell us if you have visited our website before, how often you visit, and the categories of content you frequent.
- Advertising cookies – Our advertisers may also use their own cookies to track how their advertisements are performing. These cookies may also be used to present their advertisements on other websites, depending on your browsing history.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy regarding the collection, retention, and destruction of data and personal information.
If you are uncomfortable with our use of cookies, you can always have them removed or cleared. We understand that most browsers provide you the feature to remove cookies. We suggest to contact the user support of the developers of the browser you use should you wish to remove the cookies we create, use, and send.
