Cookie & Tracking Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Look, cookies aren't the delicious kind (unfortunately). They're just tiny text files that websites drop onto your device when you visit. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help sites remember who you are and what you've been up to.
At denavolexiq.com, we use these tracking tools to make your experience smoother. Some help the site actually function. Others help us understand how people use our financial modeling resources so we can make things better.
And yes, we're being upfront about this because that's how it should work. You deserve to know what's happening with your data when you're learning about complex financial models on our platform.
The Different Flavors We Use
These keep the lights on. They're necessary for basic site functions like logging in, accessing your course materials, and moving between pages. We can't turn these off because, well, the site wouldn't work without them. They don't track you across the internet or anything invasive like that.
These remember your preferences. Language settings, whether you've completed certain modules, your preferred dashboard layout. Basically things that save you from having to reset everything every single time you visit. Makes life easier, but not strictly necessary.
We use these to figure out which parts of our financial modeling content actually help people and which parts might need work. Things like: how long someone spends on a valuation tutorial, where they get stuck, what resources get downloaded most. All anonymous data that helps us improve the learning experience.
These track your activity to show relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. If you've looked at our DCF modeling course, you might see related content elsewhere. You can absolutely reject these if targeted advertising isn't your thing.
What We Actually Do With This Info
Here's the practical side of things. When you're working through financial modeling exercises, cookies help us:
- Save your progress so you don't lose work when you close your browser
- Remember which lessons you've already completed
- Show you relevant resources based on what you're currently studying
- Keep you logged in securely between sessions
- Load your personalized dashboard with your saved models and notes
- Understand which teaching approaches work best for different topics
Most of this happens automatically in the background. You probably won't notice it working, which is kind of the point. It should just feel like the site remembers you and adapts to how you learn.
Your Control Center
Current Status: All Cookies Active
You can reject non-essential tracking right now with one click. Essential cookies will stay active because they're required for the site to function, but everything else goes away.
About Essential Cookies
These can't be disabled because they handle critical functions like security, form submissions, and session management. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, access course materials, or use interactive features.
They don't track your behavior across sites or build advertising profiles. They just keep things running.
Managing Through Your Browser
Beyond our rejection button, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Each one handles it differently, but here's the general approach:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies or clear everything stored.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox has good built-in tracking protection you can customize.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default these days.
Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Similar options to Chrome since they share underlying tech.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some site functionality. You might have to log in more often, reset preferences, or deal with other minor annoyances. But it's your call to make.
How Long Do These Stick Around?
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary by design. Persistent cookies last longer, anywhere from a few days to a couple years depending on their purpose.
For example, authentication cookies that keep you logged in might last 30 days. Analytics cookies typically stick around for up to two years so we can spot long-term trends in how people use our courses.
We regularly review what we're storing and delete data we no longer need. There's no point hoarding information that doesn't serve a clear purpose anymore.
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies come from external services we use, like analytics platforms or payment processors. We're careful about who we work with, but those third parties have their own privacy policies you might want to review.
Common ones include Google Analytics for usage statistics and Stripe for payment processing. Both are industry-standard tools, but they do collect data according to their own terms.
When you reject non-essential cookies on our site, we also signal to these services that you've opted out, though you might need to manage preferences with them directly for complete control.
Changes to This Policy
We update this document when our tracking practices change or when regulations require it. The date at the top shows when we last revised things.
Major changes get announced through email to active users and a notice on the site. Minor clarifications or formatting updates don't typically trigger notifications.
