What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

When you visit gyxion.com, we use small data files called cookies along with other tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our investment platform. These aren't the edible kind — they're tiny text files that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.

Think of cookies like breadcrumbs that help us navigate your journey through our site. Some are essential for basic functionality, while others help us understand which investment resources you find most valuable or remember your dashboard settings.

Types of Tracking We Use

Specific Technologies We Deploy

• Session cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies that remember your settings for future visits
• Local storage for temporary data like partially completed forms
• Web beacons to understand email engagement and content effectiveness
• Server logs that record technical information about site visits

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's where tracking actually makes your investment journey better. When you return to gyxion.com, we can restore your investment calculator with the amounts you were exploring. If you were reading our guide on dollar-cost averaging, we'll remember where you left off.

Our analytics help us identify which market insights resonate most with Irish investors. For instance, if we notice many users spending time on articles about European index funds, we know to create more content around that topic.

Practical Examples

• Remembering your investment time horizon selections across different calculators
• Showing relevant market updates based on your expressed interests
• Optimizing page loading for the devices and browsers our users prefer
• Identifying and fixing technical issues before they affect more users
• Personalizing educational content recommendations based on your reading patterns

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of data have different lifespans based on their purpose and legal requirements. We keep information only as long as necessary to serve you effectively or meet regulatory obligations.

When data reaches its retention limit, we automatically delete it from our systems. You can also request earlier deletion of non-essential data by contacting our privacy team.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over how we track your interactions. While some cookies are essential for basic functionality, you can adjust settings for others based on your comfort level.

What Happens When You Block Cookies

Blocking all cookies will limit some functionality. You might need to re-enter preferences each visit, and some personalized features won't work. However, you'll still have full access to our investment resources and educational content.

Our site detects when cookies are blocked and adjusts accordingly, though the experience becomes less personalized.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We work with select third-party services to provide certain functionality, but we're selective about who has access to your data. These partners are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for specified purposes.

Current Third-Party Integrations

• Analytics providers for understanding site usage patterns (data is anonymized)
• Security services for fraud prevention and account protection
• Email service providers for sending account updates and educational newsletters
• Customer support platforms for managing help requests and feedback

We never sell your data to advertisers or marketing companies. Any data sharing is strictly limited to services that directly benefit your experience on our platform.

Updates and Changes

We review this policy regularly and update it when we introduce new features or change how we handle data. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications and prominent site notices.
