Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
At polivexarion, we respect your privacy and want you to know exactly how we collect information when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We've written this in plain language because we believe transparency shouldn't require a law degree to understand. If something isn't clear, please reach out.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember things about your visit.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They just hold data. Some remember your login status. Others track which pages you visited. Some help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These all serve similar purposes – helping the website function properly and giving us insights into how to improve your experience.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tools across polivexarion.com for several reasons. Not all cookies are created equal, and we want you to understand the differences.
Essential Cookies
These are the non-negotiables. Without them, the website simply wouldn't work properly. They handle basic functions like security, network management, and accessibility.
When you log into your account or add something to your cart, essential cookies make that possible. They're active for your current session and usually disappear when you close your browser.
- Keep you logged in as you navigate between pages
- Remember items in your shopping cart
- Enable secure areas of the website to function
- Distribute traffic to keep the site running smoothly
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices and preferences. They're not strictly necessary, but they make using the site more convenient.
Maybe you prefer dark mode. Or you've set specific investment filters you want to see every time. Functional cookies remember these preferences so you don't have to set them repeatedly.
- Remember your display preferences and settings
- Store your language and region choices
- Recall your customized dashboard layout
- Remember which notifications you've dismissed
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use this information to improve functionality, content, and overall user experience.
Analytics cookies tell us things like which pages are most visited, how long people spend reading certain content, and where users tend to leave the site. This data is aggregated and anonymous – we're looking at patterns, not individuals.
- Count visitor numbers and track navigation patterns
- Measure how long people spend on different pages
- Identify which content is most valuable to readers
- Help us spot technical issues that need fixing
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests. They're used to show you relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness.
If you've ever noticed ads following you around the internet after visiting a website, that's marketing cookies at work. We use them to reach potential clients who might benefit from our investment analysis services.
- Show relevant ads based on your browsing behavior
- Limit how many times you see the same advertisement
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Share data with advertising partners and social platforms
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from third parties – companies we work with to provide certain features or services.
For example, when we embed a video or share social media integration, those platforms may set their own cookies. We've chosen our partners carefully, but you should know that we don't control third-party cookies directly.
Third parties we work with include analytics providers, advertising networks, and service platforms that help us deliver content more effectively. Each has their own privacy policies governing how they use data.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your settings to decline them if you prefer.
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect your experience on our site. Essential cookies can't be disabled without breaking core functionality, but you can control other types.
Google Chrome
Click the three dots in the top-right corner, select Settings, then Privacy and Security. Click on Cookies and other site data to adjust your preferences.
Mozilla Firefox
Click the menu button and select Settings. Go to Privacy & Security, then scroll to Cookies and Site Data to manage your settings.
Safari
Click Safari in the menu bar, select Preferences, then Privacy. Here you can manage cookies and website data according to your preferences.
Microsoft Edge
Click the three dots in the top-right, select Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Choose Cookies and site data to control how cookies work.
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you'll need to set your preferences on each one separately. Cookie settings are browser-specific, not account-specific.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies stick around for different amounts of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session cookies typically last until you close your browser – anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on your browsing session.
Persistent cookies can last from days to years. Analytics cookies usually expire after two years. Marketing cookies often last around 13 months, though this varies by provider.
We regularly review our cookie retention periods to make sure we're only keeping data as long as necessary for its intended purpose.
Your Rights and Choices
Beyond browser settings, you have additional options for managing tracking technologies.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out pages. Many advertising networks participate in self-regulatory programs that give you centralized control over marketing cookies.
Australian residents have specific privacy rights under local regulations. You can request information about the data we collect, ask us to delete certain information, or object to specific types of processing.
Mobile devices have their own privacy settings for tracking. Both iOS and Android let you limit ad tracking through your device settings, independent of browser controls.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We update this cookie policy periodically to reflect those changes.
When we make significant updates, we'll notify you through a prominent notice on our website. The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy.
We recommend checking back occasionally to stay informed about how we're using cookies and what choices you have.
