What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They're pretty common across the internet. Think of them as little notes that help websites remember things about your visit — like your login status or preferences.
We use these alongside similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. Each serves a specific purpose in making canyrelosar.com work properly and helping us understand what's useful to our Australian clients working on financial planning.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Here's what this actually means in practice. When you build a financial scenario on canyrelosar.com, functional cookies remember your assumptions and variables. You don't have to re-enter everything each session.
Analytics data shows us that most users struggle with our cash flow projections interface around the third step. That insight led us to redesign that section in early 2025. Without tracking, we'd be guessing about what needs improvement.
Marketing cookies help us show educational content about scenario planning to people researching financial modeling tools. If you've visited our learning resources, you might see related articles when browsing Australian business sites. That's these cookies doing their job.
Data Retention and Your Control
Essential cookies stick around only as long as your session. Functional and analytics cookies typically last between 6 months and 2 years. Marketing cookies can last up to 13 months, depending on the specific service.
You're not locked into accepting everything. The button at the top of this page lets you reject non-essential tracking right now. Your choice gets saved in local storage, so we remember your preference on future visits.
We don't sell your data. Never have, never will. The information we collect stays within our platform or gets shared with specific analytics and advertising partners who help us run the service. Everyone we work with agrees to handle data responsibly.
What Rejecting Cookies Means
If you decline non-essential cookies, canyrelosar.com still works. You can build scenarios, access learning materials, and use all core features. What changes is that we won't remember your preferences between visits, and we'll have less insight into how to improve specific tools.
You also won't see personalized content recommendations or targeted information about features that might interest you based on previous activity.
Managing Browser Settings
Beyond our preference button, your browser gives you direct control over cookies. Every major browser lets you block, delete, or get notified about cookies before they're set.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data. From here you can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers strict tracking protection that blocks many cookies automatically.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default as of 2024.
Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Cookies and Site Permissions. Similar controls to Chrome since they share underlying technology.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how canyrelosar.com works. You might have to log in repeatedly or lose access to saved scenarios. Essential cookies need to function for the platform to operate properly.
Third-Party Services
We work with several external services that set their own cookies when you use canyrelosar.com. This includes our analytics provider, payment processor, and content delivery network.
Each of these partners has their own privacy policy explaining how they handle data. We've vetted everyone we work with to make sure they meet Australian privacy standards and handle information responsibly.
If you reject non-essential cookies through our system, we signal that preference to our partners. However, some might still set essential cookies needed for their service to function — like payment processing security cookies.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy annually and update it when we change how we use tracking technologies. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we made the most recent changes.
Significant changes get announced through email to registered users and a notice on the homepage. We won't reduce your privacy protections without giving you a chance to review and adjust your preferences.
