Cookie & Data Usage Policy
How Edgewaes Uses Website Data and Tracking Technologies
Last Updated: January 2025
Understanding Our Data Collection
When you visit Edgewaes.com, we collect certain information to improve your experience and provide personalized financial insights. This policy explains exactly what data we gather, how we use it, and what control you have over the process.
We believe transparency builds trust. That's why we're detailing every aspect of our data collection practices — from essential website functionality to optional analytics that help us serve you better.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our website functioning properly. They remember your login status, secure your connection, and maintain your session as you navigate between pages. Without these, basic features wouldn't work.
Functional Tracking
We remember your preferences like language settings, dashboard customization, and notification choices. This makes each visit more personalized without compromising your privacy.
Analytics Data
We track how visitors use our financial tools and educational content. This helps us understand which resources are most valuable and where we can improve the user experience.
Performance Monitoring
We monitor page load times, error rates, and feature usage to ensure our financial calculators and analysis tools perform reliably when you need them most.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Personalized Financial Insights
When you use our investment analysis tools, we remember your risk tolerance preferences and portfolio focus areas. This way, subsequent visits show relevant market insights without requiring you to reset your parameters each time.
Educational Content Recommendations
If you frequently read our articles about retirement planning, we'll surface similar content that matches your interests. We're not trying to push products — we're helping you discover relevant educational material.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Our tracking helps identify unusual access patterns that might indicate unauthorized account access. We monitor login locations and timing to protect your financial data and alert you to potential security concerns.
Data Retention Policy
We keep essential cookies active for 30 days, functional preferences for one year, and analytics data for 24 months. After these periods, data is automatically purged from our systems unless you're an active user who regularly engages with our platform.
Managing Your Privacy Settings
Browser-Level Controls
Every major browser gives you control over tracking. Here's how to manage your preferences:
Remember: Blocking all cookies might affect website functionality. Essential cookies are necessary for login security and basic features to work properly.
Third-Party Services
Analytics Partners
We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns and user behavior. This helps us identify which financial education topics resonate most with visitors and where we should focus our content development efforts.
Security Providers
Our security monitoring partners help detect and prevent fraud attempts on your accounts. They analyze login patterns and device fingerprints to identify suspicious activity without accessing your personal financial information.
These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies, which we've reviewed to ensure they meet our standards for data protection and user privacy.
Your Rights and Control
You have the right to know exactly what data we collect, request copies of your information, ask us to delete your data, or correct any inaccuracies. We don't sell your personal information to third parties, nor do we share it for marketing purposes without explicit consent.
If you want to opt out of analytics tracking while keeping essential website functionality, contact us and we'll set up a preference flag on your account. This gives you granular control over what data we collect during your visits.

We're committed to transparency in how we handle your information. If you have questions about this policy or want to exercise any of your privacy rights, reach out to us directly.
