Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
At EliteFuturon, we respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect and use information when you visit elitefuturon.com. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're pretty common across the web — most sites use them to remember your preferences and improve your experience.
When you return to our site, these files help us recognize your browser and remember things like your language preference or whether you've logged in. Some cookies last only while you're browsing (we call those session cookies), while others stick around longer to remember you on future visits.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Our financial data integration platform relies on several types of tracking to function properly and provide you with a smooth experience. Here's what we're doing behind the scenes:
Essential Operations
These keep the site running. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log into your account, navigate between pages securely, or access protected areas of our platform. We can't really turn these off without breaking core functionality.
Functional Enhancements
These remember your choices — like dashboard layout preferences, notification settings, or which data visualization style you prefer. They make your experience more personalized and save you from reconfiguring everything each time you visit.
Performance Analytics
We track how people use our site to understand what works and what doesn't. This helps us spot technical issues, see which features get used most, and figure out where we need to improve. All this data is aggregated, so we're looking at patterns, not individual behavior.
Communication Tracking
When we send emails or show you relevant information about our services, we track whether those messages are getting through and if they're helpful. This helps us avoid annoying you with stuff you're not interested in.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here's a breakdown of the actual cookies you'll encounter on our site and what they do:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| ef_session | Maintains your login session and keeps you authenticated | Session only | Essential |
| ef_preferences | Stores your dashboard settings and display preferences | 12 months | Functional |
| ef_analytics | Tracks page views and interaction patterns anonymously | 24 months | Analytics |
| ef_security | Prevents unauthorized access and detects suspicious activity | Session only | Essential |
| ef_locale | Remembers your language and regional preferences | 12 months | Functional |
| ef_consent | Records your cookie preferences and choices | 12 months | Essential |
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that also set cookies when you use our platform. These help us provide better service, but they're managed by other companies with their own privacy policies.
Analytics Partners
We use analytics services to understand how our platform performs and where we can make improvements. These services collect data about your visit, but it's anonymized and used only for statistical purposes.
Security Providers
Our security infrastructure includes third-party tools that help protect against threats and ensure your data remains safe. These services may set cookies to identify and block malicious activity.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Most browsers let you manage cookies through their settings, though the exact process varies depending on which browser you're using.
Browser Configuration
- Open your browser settings or preferences menu
- Look for the privacy or security section
- Find cookie or site data settings
- Choose whether to block all cookies, only third-party cookies, or allow everything
- You can also clear existing cookies from this menu
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent certain parts of our platform from working properly. You might not be able to log in, save preferences, or access some features. The other types are less critical — blocking them won't break the site, but your experience might be less personalized.
Data Retention
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies vanish as soon as you close your browser. Others last longer — anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years, depending on what they're for.
We regularly review and clean up stored data. When a cookie expires, it's automatically deleted from your device. You can also manually clear cookies anytime through your browser settings.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do the tools we use. We might update this policy occasionally to reflect new practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and notify active users through email or dashboard alerts.
We recommend checking back here every few months if you're curious about any changes to how we handle tracking.

This cookie policy is part of our broader commitment to transparency and data protection. For more information about how we handle your personal data, please review our full privacy policy.
