Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on quantaeloon.com
Last Updated: February 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They're pretty standard across the internet. We use them to remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our financial scenario modeling tools.
Think of them as helpful notes that make your next visit smoother. Some disappear when you close your browser, others stick around to remember you next time.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
At quantaeloon, we track certain activities to make our platform better. Not in a creepy way—just to see what works and what doesn't. When you model financial scenarios, we want that process to feel natural and efficient.
We track things like which features you use most, where you might get stuck, and how long calculations take. This helps us refine our tools and fix issues before they become frustrating.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, you couldn't log in, save your modeling work, or move between pages properly. They're non-negotiable if you want the platform to actually function.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like your preferred currency display, dashboard layout, or which modeling templates you use most. They make each visit feel personalized without you having to set everything up again.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand patterns. Which tools get the most use? Where do people drop off? What features could use improvement? The data stays anonymous and helps us build better tools.
Marketing Cookies
These track whether you came from an ad or email campaign. They help us understand which messages resonate and where we should focus our efforts. You can opt out of these without affecting core functionality.
Why This Matters For Financial Modeling
Financial scenarios can get complex quickly. You might run dozens of variations testing different assumptions. Our cookies help maintain your session state, preserve your work between visits, and remember which calculation methods you prefer.
Practical Examples
When you're halfway through building a cash flow projection and need to step away, session cookies hold your place. When you return, everything's right where you left it.
If you always want to see projections in quarterly views rather than monthly, functional cookies remember that preference across all your scenarios.
When our analytical data shows that users struggle with a particular forecasting tool, we can redesign that interface to make it clearer.
Taking Control
You're not locked into accepting everything. Most browsers let you manage cookies pretty easily. Just know that blocking essential ones will break parts of the site.
Browser Settings Guide
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all, allow all, or clear cookies each time you close the browser.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers standard, strict, and custom protection levels.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default but lets you adjust further.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Choose between blocking all, third-party only, or none.
Clearing cookies means you'll need to log in again and reset your preferences. It's like starting fresh each visit.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies last different lengths of time. We don't keep them around forever.
How Long We Keep Things
- Session cookies disappear when you close your browser—usually within hours
- Login authentication cookies last up to 30 days if you choose "remember me"
- Preference cookies stick around for 12 months to maintain your settings
- Analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months
- Marketing cookies get cleared after 90 days or when campaigns end
We review this regularly. If we don't need the data anymore, we delete it. Simple as that.
Third-Party Tracking
Sometimes we use tools from other companies—analytics platforms, support widgets, that sort of thing. These services might place their own cookies. We only work with providers who meet Australian privacy standards, but they have their own policies you should check out.
We don't sell your data to advertisers or pass it along to random third parties. Any sharing happens specifically to make the platform work better or provide support when you need it.
Updates and Changes
This policy gets updated occasionally as we add features or adjust how things work. Major changes will show up with a new "last updated" date at the top. We won't email about minor tweaks, but significant shifts in how we handle tracking will get proper notice.
Check back every few months if you want to stay current. Or don't—we're not going to start doing anything sketchy without telling you first.
