What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as small text files that get saved on your device when you visit websites. They're basically little memory aids that help sites remember who you are and what you did during your last visit.

When you come to fluxisenergy.com, your browser receives these files and stores them locally. Next time you visit, your browser sends them back so we can recognize you. Nothing mysterious about it — just standard web technology that's been around since the mid-1990s.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call those session cookies). Others stick around for months or even years (persistent cookies). We use both types depending on what we need them to do.

How We Use Tracking on Our Site

We're running a financial education platform focused on trading and financial statements. That means we need to keep things secure while also understanding how people interact with our educational content. Here's what we actually track:

Specific Technologies We Deploy

Let's get specific about what's actually running on fluxisenergy.com:

• Session management cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Authentication tokens that verify your login status across different pages
• Preference storage for your customized dashboard settings
• Analytics scripts that collect aggregate usage statistics
• Error logging systems that help us identify and fix technical problems
• Load balancing cookies that distribute traffic across our servers

We don't use advertising cookies because we're not running ads. Our focus is education, not marketing bombardment. And we definitely don't sell your browsing data to third parties — that's not our business model.

Taking Control of Your Privacy

You're not stuck accepting everything we throw at you. Modern browsers give you plenty of control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete them regularly, or pick and choose which sites get to use them.

Managing Browser Settings

Every major browser has built-in cookie controls. They're usually buried in the privacy or settings section, but they're there. Here's where to look:

Be aware that blocking essential cookies will break certain features. You might not be able to stay logged in or save your preferences. That's the trade-off for maximum privacy.

Third-Party Services

We use a few external services that might set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video tutorial or use a third-party analytics platform, those providers might track you according to their own policies.

We try to minimize third-party tracking, but sometimes it's unavoidable if we want to provide certain features. When we do use external services, we pick providers with reasonable privacy practices. But you should know they're operating under their own rules, not ours.

Changes and Updates

Technology changes. Our site evolves. Sometimes we'll need to update this policy to reflect new tracking methods or discontinued features. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

Check back occasionally if you're concerned about tracking. We're not going to email you every time we tweak something minor, but major policy shifts will be clearly noted.
