Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At doravelynox, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on doravelynox.com and why they matter for your experience.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our financial goal tracking tools, and improve our service based on real usage patterns.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
We use several types of tracking methods to make doravelynox.com work properly and to understand how people actually use our platform. Some are essential for basic functionality—like keeping you logged in—while others help us spot patterns and improve features.
Here's something most sites won't tell you: not all tracking is created equal. Some cookies stick around for years, while others disappear the moment you close your browser. We've tried to strike a balance between useful functionality and respecting your privacy.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the non-negotiable ones. Without them, basic features simply won't work. They handle things like authentication and security.
What they do: Keep you logged into your account, remember your session as you move between pages, and protect against security threats. They expire when you close your browser.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to reset everything each visit. Think of them as your personal preferences file.
What they do: Store your preferred currency display, remember which financial goals you've hidden or prioritized, and keep track of interface customizations you've made.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand which features people actually use versus the ones that get ignored. It helps us focus development efforts where they matter most.
What they do: Track page visits, measure time spent on different sections, identify popular features, and help us spot where users get confused or stuck in the interface.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interaction with our content so we can show you relevant information about features you might find useful based on your current usage patterns.
What they do: Remember which features you've explored, track newsletter signup sources, and measure how effective our educational content is at helping users understand financial planning concepts.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, though keep in mind that blocking essential ones might break core functionality on our platform.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies while keeping functional ones, or go nuclear and block everything.
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox has a "Standard" protection mode that blocks most tracking while keeping sites functional.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari is pretty aggressive about blocking trackers by default, which is honestly refreshing.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Microsoft's approach is similar to Chrome since they share the same underlying engine.
If you block analytical cookies, we lose valuable insights about how people use our platform, but the core functionality will still work fine.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We don't hold onto tracking data indefinitely. Analytical data gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months, meaning we can see patterns but can't trace them back to individual users. Session cookies vanish immediately when you close your browser.
You can request to see what data we've collected about your usage patterns, or ask us to delete it entirely. Send a request to support@doravelynox.com and we'll process it within 30 days. We're based in Canberra, so Australian privacy laws apply, which actually give you pretty strong protections.
One thing worth knowing: if you use our platform regularly and then delete all your cookies, you'll lose your customizations and preferences. It's a fresh start, but that means reconfiguring everything from scratch.
Third-Party Tracking
We use a minimal number of third-party services for analytics and performance monitoring. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we've chosen ones that align with our approach to data handling.
Our analytics provider helps us understand aggregate usage patterns without identifying individual users. The performance monitoring service alerts us when pages load slowly or features break, so we can fix issues before they affect too many people.
Changes to This Policy
We'll update this policy when we change how we use cookies or add new tracking methods. The "last updated" date at the top tells you when the most recent changes happened.
Major changes get announced through email if you're a registered user. Minor clarifications don't warrant bothering everyone, but the updated policy will always be available here.
