Cookie & Data Usage Policy

Understanding How We Use Cookies

At CognitFocus, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use data on our financial analysis platform. This policy explains exactly what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences.

When you visit cognitfocus.com, various tracking technologies help us provide you with a better experience while analyzing your financial software needs. But we know you want control over your data – and that's exactly what this page gives you.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like secure login to your financial dashboard, remembering your analysis preferences, and maintaining your session while you work with our tools.

Functional Cookies (Optional)

These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, like your preferred currency display, dashboard layout, or notification settings. Without these, you'd need to reset your preferences every visit.

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

We use these to understand how people use our platform – which financial tools are most popular, where users spend time, and what features need improvement. This data helps us make CognitFocus more useful for Vietnamese businesses.

Marketing Cookies (Optional)

These track your interests across our site to show you relevant content about financial analysis features that might benefit your business. They also help us understand which marketing efforts bring us the most qualified users.

How Cookies Improve Your Experience

Personalized Financial Dashboard

Cookies remember which financial metrics matter most to your business, automatically displaying relevant charts and analysis tools when you log in. Without this data, you'd start from scratch every time.

Streamlined Analysis Process

When you're working on complex financial models, cookies save your progress and preferences, making it easy to pick up where you left off. This is especially important for our Vietnamese users who often work across multiple time zones.

Relevant Educational Content

Based on the tools you use most, we can suggest training materials and resources that match your actual needs rather than showing generic content.

Technical Performance

Cookies help us identify slow-loading sections and optimize performance, ensuring our financial analysis tools run smoothly even during peak usage periods.
