Cookie Policy

This policy explains how finoradeks.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what each category does, and how you can control them. It applies to the site operated by Finoradeks, 8920 Corporate Drive, Building B, Austin, TX 78758, USA.

What this policy covers

The sections below run in the order a reader usually needs them: what cookies are, which ones this site uses, how third parties fit in, and how to change your choice later.

Nothing on this site needs a cookie to show you a guide. Optional cookies exist only to measure what is read and to remember your own settings.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, such as language or display settings. A cookie is stored by the browser you use, and it is sent back to the site on later visits so the site recognises the same browser.

Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy. Local storage keeps small pieces of data in your browser without sending them on every request; session storage does the same but clears when you close the tab. Where this policy says cookie, read it as covering those technologies too.

Two things a cookie is not. It is not a program, so it cannot run on your device or read other files. And it does not identify you by name; it identifies a browser, which is why clearing cookies or switching browsers resets whatever a site had remembered.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function. They support basic features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. The site cannot work properly without them, and they cannot be switched off through our cookie controls. If you block them in your browser, expect pages to load incorrectly or forms to stop working.

They carry no interest in what you read. Their job is to keep one visit consistent: that the page you asked for is the page you get, and that a preference you already set is not asked again on the next click.

What they do

  • Keep navigation working between pages
  • Support basic site security
  • Remember the cookie choice you made

Status: always active. They are not optional and no consent switch turns them off.

Analytics cookies

Where enabled, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which guides are read and how visitors move between pages. The information is used in aggregate to improve content and navigation. These cookies are optional, and you can decline them without affecting basic site functions.

Aggregate means we look at patterns across many visits rather than one person's path: which pages get opened from the home page, where readers stop, and which explanations send people on to a related guide. That is what tells us whether a section needs a clearer heading or an extra example, and it is the only reason this category exists.

What we look at

  • Which guides are opened most often
  • How readers move from one page to the next
  • Which pages are left quickly, so we can fix them

Status: optional. Declining them changes nothing about the pages you can read.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as display preferences, so you do not have to set them again on each visit. They are optional. If you disable them, some preferences may reset between visits.

The effect of turning them off is mild and predictable. A setting you changed will return to its default the next time you open the site, and you will set it again. Nothing you can read becomes unavailable, and no guide is held back.

Third-party cookies

Some features may rely on third-party services, such as embedded content or analytics providers. These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own policies. We do not control those cookies.

  • Embedded content

    Where a page embeds a video or another outside resource, that provider may set cookies to remember playback or load the asset. The cookie belongs to the provider, not to Finoradeks.

  • Analytics providers

    Where an outside measurement service is used, it may set its own cookies to count visits and sessions. That provider decides how long those files stay on your device.

  • Reviewing a provider

    Review the relevant provider's policy if you want details about what they collect, how long they keep it, and how to opt out. Their policy, not this page, governs their cookies.

Managing cookies in your browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies already stored. The exact steps vary by browser and are usually found in the privacy or security section of the settings menu. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.

  1. Open your browser settings

    Look for the privacy or security section of the settings menu. Every major browser keeps cookie controls there, under slightly different names.

  2. Choose what to block

    You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or allow them and delete stored ones later. Blocking third-party cookies alone usually keeps the site readable.

  3. Check the result

    Reload a page you know well. If it looks wrong or a preference is missing, relax the setting for this site rather than for every site you visit.

Clearing cookies is different from blocking them. A clear removes what is stored today; a block stops new ones being written. If you only want a clean slate, clearing is the lighter option and does not change how the site behaves afterwards.

Read on before you change a setting

If you came here while comparing bookkeeping and accounting automation tools, the guides are still open to you with optional cookies switched off. Start with the basics, or see how the platforms differ by use case.
