What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. At marisquelion, we use various tracking technologies to enhance how you interact with our capital budgeting platform.

Our tracking helps us understand which features of our financial planning tools you find most valuable, allowing us to continuously improve our platform's effectiveness for Australian businesses.

Essential Cookies We Cannot Disable

Some cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. These essential cookies cannot be turned off because they enable core functionality that makes your experience on marisquelion.com possible.

Analytics and Performance Tracking

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our financial planning resources. This data helps us identify which capital budgeting tools are most helpful and where we can make improvements to serve Australian businesses better.

Performance cookies collect information about page loading times, user navigation patterns, and feature usage. For instance, we track how often users access our budget calculation tools versus our investment analysis features, helping us prioritize development efforts.

This information is collected in aggregate form and doesn't identify individual users. We use it to make data-driven decisions about which educational content resonates most with our audience and how to structure our learning pathways more effectively.

Functional Enhancement Cookies

Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and customizing how our platform appears to you. These cookies make your interactions with marisquelion smoother and more personalized.

• Language and region preferences for localized content
• Display settings for charts and financial calculators
• Saved progress in our learning modules and webinars
• Customized dashboard layouts and tool arrangements
• Notification preferences for course updates and new features

When you adjust settings like changing currency displays from AUD to USD for international comparisons, or selecting which financial metrics to prioritize in your dashboard, functional cookies remember these choices for your next visit.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over most cookies through your browser settings. Each major browser provides tools to view, manage, and delete cookies according to your preferences.

Most browsers also offer private or incognito modes that automatically delete cookies when you close the browsing session. This can be useful when accessing financial tools from shared computers while maintaining privacy.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We retain cookie data for different periods depending on their purpose. Session cookies are deleted immediately when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years to maintain your preferences effectively.

Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months to identify long-term trends in how our educational content performs. Marketing cookies, when present, are generally kept for 90 days to ensure relevant communications without excessive tracking.

As a visitor to our platform, you have the right to request information about what data we've collected, ask for corrections to any inaccurate information, or request deletion of your data entirely. Australian privacy laws provide strong protections for your personal information.
