Cookie & Tracking Policy
Understanding how elvarianthiqo uses tracking technologies to enhance your experience
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At elvarianthiqo, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and localStorage to make your experience on elvarianthiqo.com more personalized and efficient.
These technologies work quietly in the background, remembering your preferences like which investment communities you follow, your dashboard layout choices, and whether you prefer detailed or simplified market views. Without them, you'd need to re-enter your preferences every single time you visit our platform.
Beyond basic cookies, we also use pixel tags (tiny invisible images) and session storage to track how you interact with different features. This helps us understand which tools our community members find most valuable and which areas might need improvement.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, remembering items in your portfolio tracker, and maintaining your session as you navigate between different investment community pages. We cannot disable these as they're required for the site to work properly.
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices and preferences. They store settings like your preferred currency display, notification preferences for community updates, and whether you like the dark or light theme for market charts and analysis tools.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how members interact with our investment communities and educational resources. They help us see which discussion topics generate the most engagement, which learning modules are most helpful, and where people might be getting stuck in their financial education journey.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies help us show you relevant content about new investment communities, educational webinars, and market analysis tools that align with your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our educational campaigns and community outreach efforts.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you join discussions in our Canadian Real Estate Investment community, for example, our tracking helps us suggest related communities like Municipal Bond Investors or Dividend Growth Strategies that might interest you. This personalization makes your learning journey more efficient and relevant.
- Personalized community recommendations based on your participation patterns and interests
- Customized dashboard showing market data most relevant to your investment focus areas
- Saved progress in educational modules so you can continue learning where you left off
- Intelligent content filtering that prioritizes discussions and resources matching your experience level
- Streamlined login process that remembers your account across devices while maintaining security
- Optimized mobile experience that adapts to how you prefer to consume financial content
Our analytics also help us identify when community members might benefit from additional resources. If we notice someone spending time in beginner investing discussions, we might suggest our "Fundamentals of Portfolio Building" workshop series or connect them with experienced mentors in similar investment areas.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over non-essential cookies on elvarianthiqo.com. While essential cookies must remain active for basic site functionality, you can opt out of all marketing, analytics, and functional cookies.
Browser-Based Cookie Management
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Here's how to access cookie controls in popular browsers:
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data → See all cookies and site data
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Keep in mind that disabling all cookies may limit some functionality on elvarianthiqo.com. You might need to re-enter preferences, and we won't be able to provide personalized community recommendations or remember your dashboard customizations.
Data Retention and Storage
Different types of tracking data have different retention periods based on their purpose and Canadian privacy requirements:
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser
- Functional preference cookies are stored for up to 2 years
- Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 14 months
- Marketing cookies expire after 13 months or when you opt out
- Essential login cookies remain active for 30 days of inactivity
We regularly review and purge outdated tracking data to minimize storage and protect your privacy. All tracking data is stored on secure servers located in Canada and is subject to Canadian privacy legislation.
Third-Party Tracking
Some features on elvarianthiqo.com integrate with trusted third-party services that may place their own tracking technologies. This includes our educational video platform, community discussion widgets, and market data providers. These services have their own privacy policies and tracking practices.
We carefully vet all third-party integrations to ensure they meet our privacy standards and Canadian compliance requirements. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services if you have concerns about their tracking practices.
When you reject non-essential cookies through our preference center, we also disable most third-party tracking integrations. Essential third-party services required for basic functionality (like secure payment processing) may still operate with minimal necessary tracking.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this cookie policy annually or when we implement new tracking technologies. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications to active community members and prominent notices on elvarianthiqo.com.
Minor updates, such as clarifications or additional browser instructions, may be made without prior notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience with our investment communities.
