Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Domithen, we use tracking technologies to make your experience better. This isn't about surveillance or anything creepy—it's about remembering your preferences and understanding how people actually use our site.
Think of cookies like digital sticky notes. They help us remember things like whether you've logged in, what timezone you're in for seasonal investing insights, or which articles you found helpful. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us improve.
You're in control here. You can adjust your browser settings anytime to limit or block these technologies. We'll explain exactly what we use and why.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They're tiny—usually just a few kilobytes—and they store basic information about your visit.
When you come back to domithen.pro, these files help the site recognize you. Not in a "big brother" way. More like how your local coffee shop remembers you prefer oat milk. It's about convenience and personalization.
Some cookies stick around for years. Others disappear the moment you close your browser. We use both types, depending on what makes sense for the function they serve.
Types of Tracking We Use
Different technologies serve different purposes. Here's what we actually deploy on domithen.pro and why each one matters.
1 Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log in, navigate between pages securely, or access personalized investment calendars. They're the foundation—no fancy stuff, just what's needed for basic operation. We don't ask permission for these because the site literally wouldn't work without them.
2 Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Language preference, timezone for seasonal market data, whether you want charts displayed in CAD or USD. They make your experience smoother by storing settings so you don't have to reconfigure everything each visit. Think of them as memory aids that respect your preferences.
3 Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand traffic patterns. Which articles get read? Where do people get confused and leave? How long do visitors spend researching seasonal investment strategies? This data helps us create better content and fix confusing navigation. All information is aggregated—we're looking at trends, not tracking individual behavior.
4 Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant content to people who've visited before. If you read three articles about agricultural commodity cycles, we might show you related research when you're browsing elsewhere online. We don't share your personal information with third parties. These cookies just help us connect with people who've already shown interest in what we do.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Let's get specific about benefits. When you visit our seasonal investing research section, functional cookies remember whether you prefer viewing data in charts or tables. Analytics cookies tell us that most Canadian investors check agricultural cycles in March, so we prioritize updating that content in late February.
Marketing cookies help us reach people who started reading about energy sector seasonality but didn't finish. We can show them a follow-up article that might answer their questions. It's about continuing useful conversations, not bombarding anyone with ads.
Without these technologies, every visit would feel like your first. You'd reset preferences constantly. We couldn't improve content based on what actually helps people. The site would work, sure—but it would be generic and less useful.
Taking Control of Your Settings
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you granular control. The process varies slightly, but here's where to look:
Browser Settings Locations
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking all cookies will affect functionality. You'll still be able to browse our public content, but personalized features won't work. It's your call—we respect whatever choice you make about your privacy.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last a year so we don't forget your settings. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months.
| Cookie Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until browser closes |
| Authentication | 30 days |
| Preferences | 12 months |
| Analytics | 26 months (anonymized after 14) |
| Marketing | 90 days |
You can request deletion of your data anytime. We'll remove everything except what's legally required for financial recordkeeping. Just contact us and we'll walk you through the process.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We'll update this policy when necessary and post the new version here with a revised date at the top.
If we make significant changes to how we use tracking technologies—like adding a new category or changing data retention periods—we'll notify active users via email. We won't make major changes quietly.
Check back occasionally if you're curious about updates. We try to keep this document current and accurate.
Questions about our use of cookies or tracking technologies? Want to request data deletion or understand what information we've collected about your visits?
Reach out to us at [email protected] or call +1 (519) 800-3148. We're based at 7839 135a Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5C 2J4, Canada if you prefer to send written inquiries.
This policy applies specifically to domithen.pro and our related services. Third-party sites we link to have their own policies—we don't control how they handle data.
