Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
We use tracking technologies on quintavero.com to improve your experience and understand how you interact with our financial planning tools. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These help us remember your settings and understand which features you find most useful. Think of them as digital bookmarks that keep track of where you've been and what matters to you.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixels. These tiny bits of code help us measure how our content performs and whether our financial planning resources actually help people.
Essential
These keep the site running. Without them, you can't log in, save your financial goals, or access your milestone planning dashboard. They're not optional if you want to use our platform.
Functional
These remember your choices—like currency preferences or notification settings. They make your experience more personal without collecting sensitive data about your financial situation.
Analytical
We track which planning tools get used most and where people get stuck. This helps us fix confusing interfaces and build better features based on real usage patterns.
Marketing
These help us show you relevant content about financial planning topics. We use them to understand which educational resources resonate with different audiences across Australia.
How We Use These Technologies
Our tracking serves specific purposes. We're not collecting data just to have it—every piece of information helps us improve something tangible about your experience.
Specific Uses Include
- Keeping you logged in while you work on your financial milestones
- Remembering your calculator settings so you don't reset them each visit
- Understanding which planning resources people actually find helpful
- Measuring how long it takes users to complete different planning tasks
- Identifying technical issues that might be frustrating certain browsers or devices
- Showing you educational content relevant to your current planning stage
- Testing new features with small groups before rolling them out widely
Managing Your Preferences
You control what gets tracked. Most browsers let you block or delete these files, though doing so might limit some functionality on our site.
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or set exceptions for specific sites like quintavero.com.
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose standard, strict, or custom protection levels based on your comfort level.
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party tracking by default but lets you control site-specific settings.
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. You can allow, block, or delete based on your needs.
Data Retention Periods
Different types of tracking data stick around for different lengths of time. Session-based information disappears when you close your browser. Preference data might last months or years so we don't constantly ask you the same questions.
Analytics data gets anonymized after 90 days, and we delete old marketing identifiers every 12 months. If you create an account and then delete it, we remove associated tracking data within 30 days.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external providers who help us understand site performance and user behaviour. These companies have their own privacy policies, and they're contractually required to protect your information just like we do.
Our analytics provider helps us understand aggregate usage patterns. Our content delivery network uses basic tracking to optimize load times across Australia. And our email service tracks whether educational resources we send actually get opened and read.
| Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session ID | Browser session | Maintains your login state while navigating the platform |
| User preferences | 12 months | Remembers your calculator settings and display options |
| Analytics tracking | 90 days | Measures feature usage and identifies improvement areas |
| Marketing identifiers | 12 months | Delivers relevant educational content based on interests |
Impact on Your Experience
Blocking all tracking will still let you access our public resources and read educational content. But you won't be able to save financial plans, use personalized calculators, or access member-only planning tools.
Allowing essential tracking while blocking others gives you core functionality without the analytics. It's a middle ground that works for privacy-conscious users who still want to use our planning features.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy twice yearly and update it when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. Significant changes get announced through email if you have an account with us.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last made changes. We don't do sneaky updates—if something substantial changes, we'll let you know clearly.
