गोपनीयता नीति

Corkonomics collects as little as it can. This page explains what is collected, why, and what your choices are.

What we collect

• Server logs. Requests are logged with a salted hash of the IP address, the path, the user agent and the status code, kept for 30 days, used only for security, abuse detection (rate limiting, enumeration detection) and capacity planning.
• Preferences stored in your browser. Theme, Guided/Expert view, interface language and starred pages are stored in localStorage and a language cookie on your device. They are never sent to us.
• Email, if you give it. The newsletter sign-up stores your address and the page you signed up from. Unsubscribe by replying to any email or via contact.
• Messages you send. Contact and correction forms store what you type, with your name and email if you provide them.
• Ask the Data. Your question is sent to Anthropic’s API together with the Corkonomics records it matches, to generate an answer. Questions are rate-limited per IP and are not stored with any identifier.

Cookies and advertising

Corkonomics sets one first-party cookie (lang) when you choose an interface language. If and when the site carries advertising through Google AdSense, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites; you can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Where consent is required by law, a consent mechanism is shown before any such cookie is set; the site’s cookie-consent decision is documented internally and reviewed at launch.

Third parties

Market benchmark data is fetched server-side from Financial Modeling Prep and FRED; your browser never contacts them. Fonts and scripts are served from this domain. News links take you to their publishers, whose policies then apply.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold by contacting us. Residents of the EU/EEA, UK, California and other jurisdictions with data-protection laws have the rights those laws provide, including the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 16 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

Changes to this policy are posted here with a new effective date.
