Cookie Usage & Data Tracking Policy
We believe you deserve complete transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit ladorimavenos.com
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies we place on your device. While some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, you can opt out of non-essential tracking at any time. Your choice will be saved and respected during future visits.
What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help our site remember your preferences and provide a smoother experience.
We use these tracking technologies to understand how visitors interact with our financial education content, which helps us improve the learning experience and provide more relevant budget analysis tools. Some cookies are essential for the site to work at all, while others help us make things better over time.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies Required
These keep the site running and can't be turned off. They handle basic functions like page navigation, secure login sessions, and form submissions. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access our budget variance analysis tools or save your progress.
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your preferences and choices to make your experience more personalized. They store things like your preferred currency format, calculation method defaults, and whether you've dismissed certain help messages.
Analytics Cookies Optional
We use these to understand which pages are most helpful and where people get stuck. This anonymous data helps us identify confusing sections and improve our educational content. We never connect this data to your identity.
Marketing Cookies Optional
These track your journey across different sessions to show you relevant information about our programs. They help us avoid showing you the same messages repeatedly and ensure our communications are actually useful to you.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, which is usually within a few hours. Persistent cookies can last anywhere from 30 days to 2 years, depending on their purpose.
Your Control Matters
When you reject non-essential cookies through the button above, we immediately stop placing new tracking cookies on your device. Any existing non-essential cookies are cleared, and we store your preference so we don't ask again. Essential cookies remain active because they're necessary for the site to function.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Beyond our preference tool, you can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you options to block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or get notified before they're placed. Here's where to find those settings:
-
C
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
-
F
Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
-
S
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
-
E
Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some features on our site. You won't be able to stay logged in, and tools that remember your calculation inputs won't work properly. That's why we recommend using our selective opt-out button instead.
Third-Party Services and Their Cookies
Some cookies on ladorimavenos.com come from services we use to provide better functionality. For example, if we embed a video tutorial or use a third-party analytics platform, those providers might place their own cookies. We only work with services that respect privacy and comply with Australian data protection standards.
When you reject non-essential cookies, we also stop loading most third-party tracking scripts. However, some essential third-party services (like security tools that protect against fraud) will still function because they're necessary for site operation.
