How Cookies Enhance Your Experience
Our cookies help create a more personalized experience for financial analysts. When you return to glowdevapi.com, we can remember your preferred modeling templates, recently used datasets, and analytical preferences.
For example, if you frequently work with DCF models for tech companies, our system learns this preference and can suggest relevant templates or recent industry data when you log in. This saves time and makes your workflow more efficient.
Analytics cookies help us understand which features analysts find most valuable, allowing us to prioritize improvements that matter most to your daily work. We might discover that users often switch between different chart types, prompting us to improve chart customization tools.
Data Retention and Your Control
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others may persist for months or years to remember your long-term preferences.
You maintain complete control over your data. Beyond browser settings, you can use the button above to reject all non-essential cookies at any time. This preference is stored locally and remembered for future visits.
When you reject non-essential cookies, you'll still have full access to our financial modeling tools, but features like personalized recommendations and usage analytics will be disabled.
Third-Party Services
We integrate with trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies. These include Google Analytics for understanding user behavior, and educational platform integrations that help deliver webinar content to financial analysts.
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We carefully vet these partners to ensure they meet our standards for data protection and user privacy, but we recommend reviewing their policies independently.
When you reject cookies using our controls, we also signal these preferences to integrated third-party services where technically possible, though some services may require separate opt-out procedures.
