Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
This policy explains how sarivento uses tracking technologies on sarivento.com to improve your experience with our financial technology tools. We believe you should understand what data we collect and why we collect it. This document walks you through the specifics.
What Are Tracking Technologies
When you visit our website, small pieces of data get stored on your device. These are commonly called cookies, though we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage.
Think of these as digital notes that help us remember things about your visit. Some are essential for the site to work properly. Others help us understand how people use our tools so we can make improvements.
Most websites do this. It's become a standard part of how the web functions. But we want you to know exactly what's happening when you use our services.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential
These keep the site functioning. Without them, basic features like secure login and session management wouldn't work. You can't really disable these if you want to use our platform.
Functional
These remember your preferences. Things like your dashboard layout choices or notification settings. They make your experience more personalized each time you return.
Analytical
We use these to understand how people interact with our tools. Which features get used most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us prioritize improvements.
Marketing
These track your journey across the web to show relevant content. If you've looked at our budgeting tools, you might see related information elsewhere. You can opt out of these anytime.
How We Actually Use This Data
Let's get specific about what happens with the information we collect. Vague statements don't help anyone.
Security and Authentication
When you log in, we create a session that identifies you as you move through the platform. This prevents other people from accessing your financial data if you're on a shared network.
Feature Optimization
We track which calculation tools get used most often. If everyone's using the compound interest calculator but ignoring the debt payoff planner, that tells us something. We might redesign the less popular tool or make it easier to find.
- Monitoring page load times across different devices
- Identifying which dashboard widgets provide the most value
- Understanding common user journeys through complex workflows
- Testing new features with small groups before full release
- Detecting technical errors that affect user experience
Content Personalization
If you frequently use our investment tracking features, we might surface related educational content on your dashboard. This isn't about selling you things. It's about making the platform more useful based on your actual behavior.
Managing Your Preferences
You control how much tracking happens. Browser settings give you pretty granular options, though disabling everything might break some functionality.
Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser lets you manage tracking technologies. You can block all of them, allow only certain types, or clear everything when you close your browser.
The exact steps vary by browser, but the concept's the same. Look for privacy or security settings. Most browsers now make this fairly straightforward.
Blocking marketing trackers won't affect your ability to use our tools. Blocking essential ones will. If something stops working after you change settings, that's probably why.
What Gets Stored and For How Long
Retention Periods
Different types of data stick around for different lengths of time. Session data expires when you log out. Preference settings last until you clear them. Analytics data gets anonymized and aggregated after 90 days.
We don't keep personally identifiable tracking data longer than necessary. Once we've extracted useful patterns from analytics, we strip out individual identifiers.
| Data Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session identifiers | Keep you logged in securely | Until logout or 24 hours |
| Preference settings | Remember your choices | 12 months |
| Analytics data | Improve platform features | 90 days before anonymization |
| Marketing trackers | Show relevant content | 6 months |
Third-Party Services
We use some external services that place their own tracking technologies. Our analytics provider, for instance, uses its own system to measure traffic patterns.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We choose vendors carefully, but you should know they're collecting data independently of us. Standard practice, but worth mentioning.
We don't sell your data to advertisers. Never have, never will. Some of our marketing tools do use cross-site tracking, but that's different from us handing over lists of users to random companies.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations change. Our practices might change too. When they do, we'll update this document and adjust the date at the top.
Major changes will come with an email notification if you're a registered user. Minor clarifications or wording improvements might happen without fanfare.
Check back occasionally if you care about these details. We try to keep things current and accurate.
