Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on smartintellecthub.com to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors interact with our financial analysis platform.
This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences. You have meaningful choices about the data we collect.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.
Most cookies contain a unique identifier and some basic information about your session. They can't access other files on your device or carry viruses. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixel tags. These work alongside cookies to help us understand how people use our platform.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for basic site functionality like secure logins and navigation. These can't be disabled because the site wouldn't work properly without them.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences and settings to personalize your experience. Things like language choice and display options.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use our platform. We track page views, time spent, and user paths to improve our content and interface.
Marketing Cookies
Track your activity across websites to show relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. These help us reach people interested in financial analysis.

Why We Use Cookies
Platform Functionality
Essential cookies keep smartintellecthub.com running smoothly. They manage your login status, remember items in your analysis queue, and maintain security throughout your session.
User Experience Enhancement
We remember your preferences so you don't have to reset them every visit. Your chosen dashboard layout, preferred charts, and saved filters all rely on functional cookies.
Performance Optimization
Analytics cookies show us which features get used most and where people struggle. Last quarter, this data helped us redesign our navigation after we noticed users couldn't find the comparison tools easily.
Content Relevance
Marketing cookies help us show you relevant content about financial analysis topics you've explored. If you've been reading about cash flow analysis, we might highlight our upcoming webinar on that topic.
Third-Party Cookies
We work with trusted service providers who may place their own cookies on your device:
- Google Analytics for website traffic analysis and user behavior patterns
- Payment processors for secure transaction handling during subscription purchases
- Content delivery networks to load pages faster and improve performance
- Email service providers to track whether you've opened our newsletters and which links you clicked
These partners have their own privacy policies governing their cookie use. We can't control their cookies directly, but we only work with providers who meet our privacy standards.
Data Retention
Different cookies stay on your device for different periods based on their purpose:
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary helpers for your current visit.
Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Essential ones last up to 1 year, analytics cookies up to 2 years, and marketing cookies typically 6-12 months.
We regularly review our cookie retention periods. When cookies expire, they're automatically deleted from your device.

What Happens When You Decline Cookies
If you click "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" above, we'll remove all tracking and marketing cookies from your device immediately. Essential cookies remain active because they're necessary for basic site operation.
Your preference is saved in local storage and honored on future visits. You'll still be able to use smartintellecthub.com, though some features might work differently:
- We won't remember your dashboard customizations between sessions
- You might see generic content instead of personalized recommendations
- We can't track which features you use to improve the platform
- Marketing emails won't reflect your actual platform usage patterns
You can change your mind anytime by adjusting your browser settings or clearing our saved preference.
