Cookies and purposes
This page explains cookies and caching for Tools for Business Intelligence, including the limits of the information currently available about our site. A verified inventory of cookies, local storage and similar technologies is not publicly specified, so we cannot identify particular cookie names, providers, purposes or expiry periods.
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a browser. Websites can use them to maintain sessions, remember preferences, measure visits or support advertising. These are general purposes, not confirmation that this site uses each type. Session cookies typically last until a browser session ends; persistent cookies can remain longer. The actual storage periods used here are not publicly specified.
Analytics and advertising
Our analytics and advertising arrangements are not publicly specified. We therefore cannot confirm whether visit measurement, advertising cookies, tracking pixels or performance beacons operate here, which providers might receive information, or how long they might retain it. This uncertainty should not be read as a statement that the site has no analytics or advertising.
Some measurement tools send information without setting a cookie. Blocking cookies alone does not necessarily stop network requests, performance measurement or server logging. Our server-log practices are also not publicly specified. If you follow a link to a BI vendor or another external website, its tracking choices and policies apply there; this page does not describe those services.
Consent and browser choices
You can use your browser’s privacy settings to inspect stored site data, delete cookies and restrict future storage. Many browsers offer separate controls for third-party cookies and site-specific permissions. Blocking or deleting cookies may reset preferences or interfere with features that depend on a session, if those features are present.
A site-specific consent interface and its behavior are not publicly specified. We cannot promise that a banner, preference panel or particular browser privacy signal is supported. If consent controls are displayed, review the choices they actually provide. Private browsing can limit what remains on your device after a session, but it does not make visits anonymous or necessarily prevent server-side collection. Deleting browser data also does not delete records already held by a server or provider.
Browser and server cache
A browser cache stores copies of resources, such as page files, to make later visits faster. Server or content-delivery caches can store copies away from your device. Caching is distinct from cookies, although both can affect your browsing experience. Our server-cache configuration, delivery providers, cache lifetimes and rules for excluding personalized content are not publicly specified.
If a page appears outdated, try reloading it or clearing its cached files through your browser settings. Clearing cookies is a separate action and may reset session information. Neither action guarantees removal of server-side copies.
On shared devices used for business intelligence work, do not assume that closing a tab removes downloaded reports, screenshots or cached content. Avoid placing credentials, access tokens, customer records or confidential business data in public pages or shared browser sessions. Follow your organization’s device and data-handling rules; this page cannot guarantee that sensitive material is excluded from every cache.
Contact and changes
For related information, read our Privacy page. Our Contact page is the place to check for published contact information, but a direct cookie-enquiry contact and a process for handling such requests are not publicly specified. Do not send passwords, access tokens or confidential datasets when raising a concern.
This page may be revised as cookie, analytics, advertising or caching arrangements are clarified or change. Revisit it for the current description; do not treat it as a complete technical inventory or a guarantee that browsing settings prevent all collection.
