Cookie Preference Management
You can decline all non-essential cookies while keeping essential functionality intact.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about your visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help our platform recognize you when you return and personalize your experience accordingly.
carivonelth.com uses various tracking technologies including HTTP cookies, local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. These tools work together to create a more seamless and relevant experience for our scenario modeling platform users across Canada and beyond.
When you visit our financial planning tools, these technologies help us understand which features are most valuable to our community and how we can better serve professionals working with complex financial scenarios.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our platform to function properly. They enable core features like user authentication, session management, and security protection. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your modeling scenarios or save your progress.
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, such as your preferred modeling templates, display settings, or calculation methodologies. They make your workflow more efficient by avoiding repeated setup steps.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how users interact with our scenario modeling tools. This data helps us identify which features are most helpful and where users might encounter difficulties, allowing us to make informed improvements.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies track your interactions with our educational content and help us show you relevant information about new features, courses, or tools that align with your financial planning interests and usage patterns.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a more intuitive experience. For instance, when you're building complex financial models, our system remembers your preferred calculation methods and automatically applies them to new scenarios.
If you frequently work with retirement planning scenarios, our platform learns this pattern and can suggest relevant templates or remind you about updated Canadian tax regulations that might affect your models.
We also use this data to identify common pain points in our interface. Last year, our analytics revealed that users were having difficulty with our interest rate input system, leading us to redesign that entire workflow based on actual usage patterns rather than assumptions.
Data Retention and Your Control
Different types of tracking data have different lifespans. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might remain for up to two years depending on their purpose.
You maintain full control over your cookie preferences. Beyond the rejection button above, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block specific types of cookies based on your comfort level.
We also automatically purge analytical data after 26 months to ensure we're not holding onto information longer than necessary for meaningful analysis and improvement purposes.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Each browser handles cookie management slightly differently. Here's how to access cookie controls in popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
- Opera: Settings → Privacy & security → Cookies and other site data
Remember that blocking all cookies might affect your ability to use certain features of our platform, particularly the more advanced scenario modeling tools that rely on saved preferences and session data.
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we integrate with, such as analytics providers or educational content platforms. These partners have their own privacy policies and cookie practices.
We work only with reputable partners who meet our data protection standards, but we encourage you to review their policies if you have specific concerns about third-party tracking. Our rejection button above will block most third-party tracking cookies while preserving essential functionality.
