Cookie Policy

What Are Tracking Technologies

When you visit powerconnectiq.com, small files get stored on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help the site remember who you are and what you were doing.

These files come in different forms. Traditional cookies sit in your browser. Some technologies work through your browser's local storage. Others track sessions temporarily and disappear when you close the tab.

The important thing is they all do roughly the same job: they help websites function properly and remember your preferences. They also let us see how people use our site so we can make it better.

What We Actually Track on PowerConnectIQ

How This Actually Helps You

Look, we're not going to pretend this is all for your benefit. Tracking helps us run our business better. But there are genuine user benefits too.

For Returning Visitors

You don't have to reconfigure your dashboard every time you log in. Your preferred report formats stay set. If you were reviewing quarterly data from a specific subsidiary, we can keep that context when you come back.

For Site Improvements

When we see everyone abandoning a particular page, we know something's wrong with it. When a new feature gets heavy use, we know we built something worthwhile. This feedback loop makes the platform better for everyone using it.

For Security

Tracking unusual access patterns helps us spot potential security issues before they become problems. If someone tries to access your account from three different countries in an hour, we want to know about that.

Managing Your Browser Settings

Every modern browser lets you control tracking. The button above handles PowerConnectIQ specifically, but you can set browser-wide rules too.

Keep in mind that blocking all tracking might break parts of our platform. If something stops working after you change settings, that's probably why.

How Long We Keep This Data

Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Here's what actually happens:

• Session tracking expires when you close your browser. These are temporary by nature.
• Functional preferences typically last 12 months. After a year of not visiting, we figure your preferences might have changed anyway.
• Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 14 months. We keep the patterns but not the individual trails.
• Marketing trackers usually expire after 90 days, though third-party platforms might keep their own copies longer.

If you clear your browser data or reject tracking, everything associated with your device gets deleted immediately from our active systems.

Third-Party Tracking

We use some external services that place their own tracking files. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and occasionally advertising partners.

These companies have their own privacy policies. We try to work with reputable providers, but once data touches their systems, their rules apply. If you want complete control, you'll need to manage settings with those platforms directly or use browser extensions that block third-party tracking entirely.

Common third-party trackers on our site include analytics providers for measuring traffic patterns and performance monitoring tools that help us spot technical issues quickly.

Changes to This Policy

When we change how we handle tracking, we update this page and adjust the date at the top. Major changes get announced through our usual communication channels.

We're not going to email you every time we tweak a cookie duration or switch analytics providers. But if we start using tracking in fundamentally different ways, we'll make that clear and give you a chance to adjust your preferences.
