Cookie Policy

Understanding how halquendorixa.com uses tracking technology to improve your experience

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as little notes that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or access information from your computer.

At halquendorixa.com, we use these tracking technologies to make your financial scenario modeling experience smoother. They help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand which features actually help our Australian users plan their financial futures.

Types of Tracking We Use

Different cookies serve different purposes. Here's what we're using and why:

Essential Cookies

These keep the site working. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, save scenarios, or move between pages while staying authenticated. We can't really turn these off without breaking the site.

Functional Cookies

These remember your choices – like which currency format you prefer or whether you want graphs displayed by default. They make the site feel personal to you without tracking you across the internet.

Analytical Cookies

We use these to see which features get used most and where people get stuck. This helps us improve the modeling tools. The data is aggregated, so we're looking at patterns rather than individual behavior.

Performance Cookies

These help us understand how fast pages load and whether certain calculations take too long. If the retirement planning tool is running slowly for users in regional Australia, these cookies help us spot and fix that.

How We Use Tracking Technology

The tracking we do is focused on making halquendorixa.com better for financial planning. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

  • Remembering your scenario parameters so you don't have to re-enter everything each visit
  • Keeping your session secure when you're working with sensitive financial information
  • Understanding which modeling tools help Australian users make better decisions
  • Tracking error rates to fix bugs before they affect more people
  • Measuring page load times across different Australian regions and connection speeds
  • Analyzing which features get abandoned halfway through so we can improve them

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're in control. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, though doing so might affect how well the site works for you.

Browser Settings

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Each browser handles this differently:

  • Look for "Privacy" or "Security" settings in your browser menu
  • Find the cookies or site data section
  • Choose whether to block all cookies, third-party cookies, or specific sites
  • You can also delete existing cookies from past visits

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will stop you from logging in or saving your financial scenarios. The site will still work for basic browsing, but the personalized features won't function properly.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay longer – usually between 30 days and two years, depending on their purpose.

Analytical cookies typically expire after 12 months. Functional cookies that remember your preferences might last up to two years so you don't have to keep resetting everything. Essential security cookies usually expire when you log out or after 24 hours of inactivity.

You can clear all cookies from halquendorixa.com at any time through your browser settings. This will reset your experience as if you're visiting for the first time.

Third-Party Services

We use a few third-party services that might set their own cookies. These typically include analytics providers that help us understand site usage patterns and performance monitoring tools that alert us when something breaks.

These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we only work with services that meet Australian privacy standards. They're contractually prevented from using your data for anything beyond providing their specific service to us.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes. So do privacy expectations. We update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know through a notification on the site.

It's worth checking back occasionally if you care about these details. The date at the bottom shows when we last updated this document.
