This Cookie Policy explains how InvestStep ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and services. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By using our website or services, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and how you use the website. This helps to improve your experience when you browse the website and also allows us to improve our site.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website:
These are small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our website, services, applications, messaging, and tools. Web beacons are typically used to track the actions of users of the website, measure the success of marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about usage of the website.
These are sets of data that websites can store on your browser. They can be used for similar purposes as cookies but can store larger amounts of data.
These are programming codes designed to collect information about your interactions with the website. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the website, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and security features. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they can only be disabled by changing your browser settings.
Examples: Authentication cookies, security cookies, load balancing cookies.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
Examples: Language preference cookies, form pre-fill cookies, user interface customization cookies.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, such as which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous and is only used to improve how the website works.
Examples: Google Analytics cookies, performance measurement cookies, visitor counting cookies.
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. They are used to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
