This Cookie Policy explains how CANSLIM Research (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies, tracking pixels, and similar web technologies when you visit our website (http://canslim.blog). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which details how we handle your personal data.

As a stock market education platform based in Hong Kong with a global readership, we ensure our cookie usage complies with international standards, including the EU ePrivacy Directive and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO).

1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Pixels?

  • Cookies: Small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions, device settings, and preferences (such as login details or language settings) over a period of time.
  • Tracking Pixels (Web Beacons): Tiny, transparent code snippets embedded in web pages or marketing emails. Pixels work alongside cookies to measure campaign performance, track conversion events (such as downloading a CANSLIM guide or registering for a course), and deliver targeted advertising across third-party social networks.
  • Local Storage: HTML5 technologies that store data locally within your browser for performance and site state optimization.
