This page describes the cookie policy of beautifulchart.com (hereinafter referred to as "the website"). Do not use this site if you do not agree with this cookie policy.
What are Cookies?
Most modern websites need to collect basic information about their users to work correctly. For this, the site creates small text files, known as cookies, on the user's computer. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognize users on subsequent visits or to enable other websites designated for specific purposes to recognize them.
Cookies perform many tasks that make the internet usage experience smoother and more interactive. For example, they remember your preferred settings on frequently visited sites or assist in effectively moving between pages. They also help ensure that advertisements are more relevant to you and your interests. While most of the data collected is anonymous, some are designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve user experience.
Some websites may include images known as 'web beacons'. Web beacons collect only limited information, such as a cookie number, time stamp, and a record of the page where the beacon is placed. Websites may also include web beacons placed by third-party advertisers. These beacons do not contain personal identification information and track the effectiveness of a specific campaign only.
Information collected by cookies and web beacons is not personally identifiable.

Cookies allow us to enable users to register their opinions, calculate privately how many visitors we have, how long they stay on the site, and where they are coming from.
We strive to respect user privacy. We use cookies to monitor and improve our services, which also serves as a tool to help sell advertising space. This helps provide free content to readers.

Cookies can help track your visits to third-party sites to ensure the correct amount is paid. We assure you that such commercial agreements do not in any way influence our editorial content. And the data we receive does not include personal information.
We believe that the experience of the site would be disadvantageous without the use of cookies.
