Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are tiny pieces of data stored on your device when you browse websites. They've been around since the mid-90s and serve different purposes — some essential, others optional.

At Droxo Fwitu, we don't use cookies to track your personal life or sell your information. We use them to make the site work properly and understand which investment education topics resonate most with our Canadian audience.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around for a set period to remember your preferences (persistent cookies). Both types have their place, and we'll explain how we use each.

Types of Cookies We Use

How We Actually Use This Information

Let me be specific about what happens with cookie data at Droxo Fwitu. We're not building detailed profiles of individual visitors or selling data to third parties.

• We analyze which investment topics generate the most engagement to guide our content creation priorities
• We monitor site performance across different devices and browsers to ensure everyone has a smooth experience
• We track how people navigate through our educational resources to improve information architecture
• We identify technical problems before they affect large numbers of visitors
• We measure the effectiveness of our educational content in helping people understand investment concepts
• We remember your preferences so returning visits feel more tailored to your interests

The information stays internal to our operations team. We don't share it with advertisers or data brokers. When we work with service providers for analytics or hosting, they're bound by strict data protection agreements.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Every major browser gives you cookie control options. The exact steps vary, but here's generally how to find them:

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose:

We periodically review and delete outdated cookie data. There's no reason to keep information longer than necessary for its intended purpose.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes we embed content from other services — like educational videos or interactive tools. These third parties might set their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content.

We're selective about which third-party tools we use and try to work with providers who respect privacy. But when you engage with embedded content from another service, their cookie and privacy policies apply to that interaction.

You can control third-party cookies through your browser settings, usually more easily than first-party cookies since most browsers already limit them by default.

Updates to This Policy

Web technology changes, and sometimes we adjust how we use cookies to improve functionality or comply with new regulations. When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top and notify visitors through a banner or notice on the site.

For minor clarifications or technical updates that don't materially affect how we use cookies, we'll simply update the policy and refresh the date. We're not going to spam you with notifications for every tiny wording adjustment.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy legislation, you have rights regarding the information collected through cookies. You can request details about what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of non-essential cookies.

The information collected through cookies is generally technical and doesn't identify you personally unless you've logged into an account or voluntarily provided identifying information. But if you have concerns about your privacy or want to exercise your rights, we're here to help.

Most cookie-related data is automatically deleted after the retention periods listed above. For specific requests or questions about your data, contact us using the information below.
