Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
We're pretty straightforward about how we use tracking tech on tavenquora.com. This page explains what cookies and similar bits of code do when you visit our site.
Think of cookies as tiny digital notes that help our website remember you. They make your experience smoother and help us understand what's working (and what isn't).
What Are Cookies, Really?
A cookie is just a small text file. When you visit tavenquora.com, your browser stores it. Next time you come back, that cookie helps the site recognize you or remember your preferences.
Most websites use them. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They're more like bookmarks that help websites function properly.
How We Actually Use Them
Our site uses cookies for a few practical reasons. Some keep you logged in. Others remember your language preference or help us see which pages people actually read.
Session Management
These cookies keep track of your activity while you browse. They expire when you close your browser. Without them, you'd need to re-enter information on every single page.
Understanding Usage Patterns
We track which resources get downloaded most, which analysis tools people find helpful, and where folks get stuck. This helps us improve the content that matters to Australian financial professionals.
Technical Performance
Some cookies help us spot technical problems before they affect too many people. If a particular browser version struggles with our financial calculators, we want to know.
Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. They handle logins, secure connections, and basic navigation. The site won't work properly without them.
Examples: Authentication tokens, security verification, load balancing
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Language settings, display preferences, or which financial models you prefer to use.
Examples: User preferences, saved settings, interface customization
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see how people interact with our content. Which ratio analysis guides get the most attention? Where do people spend time?
Examples: Page views, time on site, navigation paths, download tracking
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant information to people interested in financial analysis. They track which topics you engage with across our site.
Examples: Content recommendations, email campaign tracking, interest profiling
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're in charge here. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely or delete them whenever you want. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might break some site features.
Browser Cookie Settings
If you block cookies and something stops working, that's probably why. You can always enable them again to restore full functionality.
How Long Do They Stick Around?
It depends on the type. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Others might last months or even years if they're storing long-term preferences.
Typical Retention Periods
Essential cookies: Active session only. Functional cookies: Up to 12 months. Analytics cookies: Typically 24 months. Marketing cookies: Usually 12-24 months, depending on the specific tool we're using.
We regularly review what we're storing and delete anything that's no longer useful. No point keeping data we don't need.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes other services place cookies through our site. Analytics platforms, for example. We choose these partners carefully, but they have their own privacy policies.
- Google Analytics tracks site usage patterns and helps us understand user behavior
- Content delivery networks help load pages faster for users across Australia
- Email service providers track if you opened newsletters you subscribed to
We don't control these third-party cookies directly. If you want details about how they work, check their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We update this page when we change how we use cookies. The date at the top shows when we last made changes. If we make significant updates, we'll let you know through the site or via email if you're subscribed to our updates.
Technology changes. Regulations change. Our cookie usage might change too. We'll keep this page current so you always know what's happening.
