Cookie and Tracking Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. At atomicrailroad.com, we use various tracking technologies to provide you with a personalized financial planning experience. These include traditional cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms.

Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with our financial tools. Without them, you'd need to re-enter your information every time you visit our platform.

Our tracking technologies serve specific purposes in enhancing your financial goal-setting journey. When you create a budget plan, we use cookies to remember your categories and preferences. Analytics cookies help us identify which financial calculators are most useful, allowing us to improve these tools based on real user behavior.

We also track aggregate usage patterns to understand peak usage times for our platform. This helps us schedule maintenance windows and server optimizations during periods of lower activity, ensuring better performance when you need our financial planning tools most.

Atomicrailroad integrates with several third-party services to provide comprehensive financial planning capabilities. Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior patterns, while social media pixels allow us to measure the effectiveness of our financial education content across different platforms.

We also work with educational partners who may place cookies when you access integrated learning materials. These partnerships allow us to offer expanded financial literacy resources while maintaining our core focus on goal-setting and budget management.
