Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how FinAdvantage ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our platform at finadvantage.online. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how visitors use their site. Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, may be used for the same purposes.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate.
Examples: session identifiers, encrypted authentication tokens, security cookies
Analytics
We use self-hosted, privacy-first analytics (Umami) to understand how visitors interact with our platform. Umami does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, and anonymizes IP addresses. This helps us identify popular features, diagnose technical issues, and improve the overall user experience — without tracking individuals across the web.
Examples: page view counts, referrers, session duration, navigation paths (cookieless and anonymous)
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and display options. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated.
Examples: theme preferences, recent activity, saved configurations
Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies on our platform. We do not track you across third-party websites for advertising purposes, and we do not sell your data to advertisers.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party service providers that we use to operate our infrastructure, including cloud hosting providers, AI model services, and error monitoring systems. These third parties may set their own cookies as a result of you visiting our platform.
We do not have full visibility into all cookies set by third parties and cannot provide a complete list. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand their cookie practices.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session cookies: These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They enable features like navigation between pages and temporary form data.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (typically up to 12 months) or until you manually delete them. They enable features like remembering your preferences across sessions.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Because our self-hosted analytics do not use cookies and we set no marketing cookies, we do not display a consent banner. Essential cookies are placed automatically; you can still block or delete them via your browser settings if you prefer.
Please note that blocking essential cookies will impair or prevent the platform from functioning correctly, as these are required for core features like authentication and security.
To manage cookies through your browser:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, Search, and Services > Cookies
6. Do Not Track
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies on our platform, so there is no cross-site advertising tracking to disable. Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" request; where we can honor it without breaking core functionality, we do.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
