Data Persistence
& Cookies
Transparency in our digital stack is as vital as the integrity of our quantitative analysis. This document details how Mumbai Method utilizes small data files to optimize your research experience.
01 Functional Definitions
At its core, a cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit MumbaiMethod.digital. Our work in finance and modeling requires a highly stable interface; cookies help our systems recognize your device to maintain your session preferences and regional settings.
We do not use these files to harvest personal identities. Instead, they function as a temporary memory for the browser, ensuring that when you transition between research segments or analytical tools, your journey remains continuous.
