    Managing Cookies in Your Browser

    In addition to our cookie preferences above, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

    Google Chrome

    Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies

    Mozilla Firefox

    Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies

    Safari

    Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

    Microsoft Edge

    Settings → Cookies and site permissions

    Note: Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some website features. Essential cookies are required for WealthFold to work properly, including keeping you logged in.

    Local Storage & Similar Technologies

    In addition to cookies, WealthFold uses local storage (localStorage) to store data directly in your browser. This is essential for our offline-first approach and includes:

    • Financial Data: Your manually entered financial information is stored locally on your device
    • User Preferences: Dashboard layouts, theme settings, and display preferences
    • Application State: Form drafts, navigation state, and UI configurations

    Data in local storage persists until you clear your browser data or explicitly delete it through our app. This data is never transmitted to our servers unless you enable cloud sync features.

    Do Not Track Signals

    Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We respect your privacy choices and encourage you to use our cookie preference settings above to control tracking on our platform.

    Changes to This Cookie Policy

    We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, through other communication channels. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
