Cookie Policy
Effective Date: March 10, 2026
This document is currently maintained in English only. Contact us if you need assistance in another language.
This Cookie Policy explains how Financial Suite ("we," "us," or "our"), a company incorporated in Delaware, United States, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at financial-suite.ai (the "Website") or use our AI-powered financial analysis services. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our GDPR Compliance page, which provide additional detail on how we handle your personal data.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are activated each time you revisit the website that created them. They expire after a defined period unless deleted by you before that time. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:
- Local Storage — A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within the user's browser with no expiration date. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every HTTP request.
- Session Storage — Similar to local storage but limited to the duration of the browser session. Data stored in session storage is cleared when the page session ends.
- Pixels and Web Beacons — Tiny, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that can track page views and user behaviour.
Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. How We Use Cookies
Financial Suite uses cookies for a variety of purposes to enhance your experience on our Website and to ensure the proper functioning of our services. Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Ensure essential functionality — Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Website. They enable core features such as security, session management, and network accessibility. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided.
- Remember your preferences — We use preference cookies to remember your settings, such as your chosen theme (dark or light mode), language preferences, and display options. This allows us to provide a consistent and personalised experience each time you visit.
- Process payments securely — Our payment processing partner Stripe uses cookies to facilitate secure transactions, prevent fraud, and comply with financial regulatory requirements when you subscribe to our services.
- Deliver web fonts — We use Google Fonts to provide consistent, high-quality typography across our Website. This service may set cookies or use connection data to deliver font files efficiently.
- Analyse usage and improve performance — In the future, we may implement analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website, which pages are most frequently visited, and how we can improve the user experience. We will update this policy before deploying any analytics tracking.
- Support marketing efforts — In the future, we may use marketing cookies to deliver relevant advertisements, measure the effectiveness of our campaigns, and limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement. Any such cookies will be deployed only with your prior consent.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies used on our Website into the following categories:
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for the basic operation of our Website. They enable fundamental functions such as page navigation, secure access to authenticated areas, and session management. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the Website.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC), essential cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are strictly necessary to provide the service explicitly requested by the user.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information about user behaviour. This data is typically aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. Analytics cookies allow us to measure the number of visitors, identify which pages are most and least popular, and understand how visitors navigate through the site.
At present, Financial Suite does not deploy analytics cookies. Should we implement analytics tracking in the future (for example, via a privacy-respecting analytics platform), we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and ensure that appropriate consent mechanisms are in place prior to deployment.
3.3 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies (also known as functionality cookies) allow our Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, our Website uses local storage to remember your preferred theme setting (dark or light mode) so that it persists across visits.
While preference cookies improve usability, the Website will still function without them — it will simply revert to default settings each time you visit.
3.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies (also known as advertising or targeting cookies) are used to track visitors across websites and display advertisements that are relevant and engaging for individual users. These cookies may be set by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
Financial Suite does not currently use marketing cookies. If we introduce marketing or advertising cookies in the future, they will only be set with your explicit, informed consent. We will update this policy and provide clear opt-in mechanisms at that time.

5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our Website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties. Below is an overview of the third-party services that may set cookies when you use our Website:
5.1 Stripe
We use Stripe to process subscription payments and manage billing for our AI-powered financial analysis services. Stripe sets cookies on your device to facilitate secure payment processing, prevent fraudulent transactions, and comply with applicable financial regulations. These cookies are classified as essential because they are required to complete a transaction you have explicitly initiated.
For more information about how Stripe uses cookies and processes data, please refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy and Stripe's Cookie Policy.
5.2 Google Fonts
Our Website loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts to ensure consistent, high-quality typography. When your browser requests font files from Google's servers, Google may receive and process certain connection data, including your IP address, the referring page URL, and browser user-agent information. Google uses this data to deliver the font files and may cache them on your device to improve loading performance.
Google states that its Fonts API is designed to limit the collection, storage, and use of end-user data to what is needed to serve fonts efficiently. Google Fonts does not set cookies in your browser, but the connection itself transmits data to Google's servers. For more information, please refer to Google Fonts Privacy FAQ and Google's Privacy Policy.
5.3 Future Analytics and Marketing Services
As Financial Suite grows, we may integrate additional third-party services for analytics, performance monitoring, or marketing purposes. Any new third-party cookies will be documented in this policy before deployment, and where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before setting non-essential third-party cookies on your device.
We are committed to selecting privacy-respecting service providers that align with EU data protection standards and, where possible, offer EU-based data processing.
6. How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or refuse cookies. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time.
Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our Website and your ability to access certain features. Essential cookies, in particular, are required for our core services to operate correctly.
6.1 Browser-Level Controls
Each browser provides different methods for managing cookies. You can find instructions for the most popular browsers below:
If you use a browser not listed above, please consult your browser's help documentation or visit allaboutcookies.org for general guidance.
6.2 Clearing Local Storage
Some of our data storage (such as the theme preference) uses the browser's local storage rather than traditional cookies. Local storage can be cleared through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data in your browser settings. The methods described above for managing cookies also typically include an option to clear local storage and other site data.
6.3 Opting Out of Third-Party Cookies
You can manage your preferences for third-party cookies by visiting the relevant third-party opt-out pages:
- Stripe — Stripe cookies are essential for payment processing. If you block Stripe cookies, you may be unable to complete purchases or manage your subscription.
- Google — You can manage Google advertising and analytics preferences at Google Ads Settings.
7. Cookie Consent
Financial Suite is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. We serve customers globally and are committed to complying with all applicable legislation governing the use of cookies and similar technologies, including:
- The ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC) — which requires that we obtain informed consent from users in the European Union before placing non-essential cookies on their devices.
- The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) — which governs the processing of personal data of individuals in the EEA, including data collected through cookies. For comprehensive details on our GDPR compliance measures, please visit our GDPR Compliance page.
- U.S. State Privacy Laws — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which provide California residents with specific rights regarding the collection and use of their personal information.
7.1 Consent Mechanism
When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a clear and prominent cookie consent notice that explains which categories of cookies we use and allows you to make an informed choice. You may:
- Accept all cookies — enabling all cookie categories including any future analytics or marketing cookies.
- Accept only essential cookies — allowing only those cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website to function.
- Customise your preferences — selecting which specific categories of non-essential cookies you wish to allow.
7.2 Withdrawing Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can do so by:
- Adjusting your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner (accessible via the cookie settings link in our footer).
- Clearing cookies and local storage through your browser settings as described in Section 6 above.
- Contacting us directly at privacy@financial-suite.ai.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have full control over the cookies stored on your device, please be aware that disabling or blocking certain cookies may affect your experience on our Website:
- Essential cookies — If you block essential cookies, core features of our Website may not function properly. You may be unable to navigate pages, access secure areas, or use interactive features. Payment processing through Stripe requires its essential cookies to function; blocking them will prevent you from completing subscription purchases.
- Preference cookies — If you disable preference cookies or clear your local storage, your personalisation settings (such as your dark or light mode preference) will not be remembered. The Website will revert to default settings on each visit, and you will need to reconfigure your preferences manually each time.
- Analytics cookies — Blocking analytics cookies (if and when implemented) will not affect your ability to use our Website. However, it will mean that your usage will not be included in our aggregated data, which we use to improve our services.
- Marketing cookies — Blocking marketing cookies (if and when implemented) will not affect your ability to use our Website. You may still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.
We respect your right to control your cookie settings and will never penalise you or restrict access to essential services based on your cookie preferences for non-essential categories.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable legislation, or improvements in our practices. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.
- Post a prominent notice on our Website informing users of the change.
- Where required by law, seek your renewed consent for the use of any new non-essential cookies.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of our Website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms.
For a comprehensive overview of how we handle your personal data, including data collected through cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
