Cookie Policy
We believe you should know exactly how your information gets used when you visit our site. This page explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
We use these tracking technologies at crenavirota to make your experience better and more relevant. When you're working through complex corporate finance content, cookies help us remember where you left off or what topics you've shown interest in. That means you won't need to re-enter information or dig through pages you've already seen.
Beyond convenience, some cookies help us understand which educational resources are actually useful to financial analysts. If nobody's reading a particular guide, that tells us something important about what content we should focus on creating.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's how we categorize the different types running on crenavirota.com:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning properly. Without them, basic features like navigation and access to secure areas wouldn't work. You can't disable these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences—like your preferred interface settings or which content format you prefer. They make your return visits smoother and more personalized to how you work.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our educational content. Which finance topics get the most attention? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us improve the learning experience.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to help us show you relevant information about courses or resources that match your interests in corporate finance and analytical methods.
How Cookies Actually Work on Our Site
When you first visit crenavirota.com, your browser receives cookies from our server. Some expire when you close your browser—those are session cookies. Others stick around on your device for longer periods—persistent cookies.
First-party cookies come directly from crenavirota.com and help us operate the site and remember your preferences
Third-party cookies come from external services we use for analytics or content delivery—these help us understand broader usage patterns
Session cookies are temporary and disappear once you leave the site—perfect for maintaining your active session security
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period—these remember your settings between visits
What About Other Tracking Technologies?
Besides cookies, we sometimes use web beacons (tiny transparent images) and local storage technologies. These serve similar purposes—helping us understand how our educational platform gets used and making sure everything works properly across different devices and browsers that financial professionals might use.
Specific Ways We Use Cookie Data
Let me give you concrete examples of how this actually helps your experience on our finance education platform:
If you're halfway through a valuation modeling course, cookies remember your progress so you can pick up exactly where you stopped
When you browse resources about M&A analysis, we might suggest related content on deal structuring or due diligence that other analysts found helpful
We track which finance calculators and tools get the most use, which tells us what to prioritize when building new educational resources
If many analysts are struggling with a particular concept in our courses, that pattern helps us identify where we need clearer explanations or additional examples
Your login credentials stay secure through encrypted session cookies, so you're not constantly re-authenticating while accessing course materials
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans based on what they do. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Others might stick around for months or even a year, particularly the ones that remember your preferences or help us analyze longer-term patterns in how our educational content performs.
We review and clean out cookie data regularly. There's no point keeping information that's no longer useful, and we respect that you might not want every detail of your browsing stored indefinitely. Most of our functional cookies expire within 90 days, while analytical data gets aggregated and anonymized after six months.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your active session and authentication | Session |
| user_preferences | Stores your interface and content display preferences | 90 days |
| analytics_tracking | Tracks site usage patterns for content improvement | 180 days |
| course_progress | Remembers where you are in educational modules | 365 days |
Taking Control of Your Cookie Settings
You're not stuck with whatever cookie settings we provide. Most browsers let you manage cookies however you want—block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set exceptions for specific sites.
Just know that if you disable essential cookies, parts of crenavirota.com won't work properly. You might have trouble logging in, saving preferences, or accessing certain course materials. Functional and analytical cookies are optional, though—you can turn those off if you prefer, even though it might make your experience less personalized.

We work with a few external services that place their own cookies when you use crenavirota.com. These typically fall into analytics platforms that help us understand site performance, or content delivery networks that make pages load faster for analysts accessing materials from different locations across Australia.
While we're careful about which third parties we work with, you should know that these external services have their own privacy policies. We can't control exactly how they handle the data they collect, though we do choose partners who maintain reasonable privacy standards.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
As we add new features to our corporate finance education platform or work with different service providers, our cookie usage might change. When that happens, we'll update this policy and note the revision date at the top.
For minor updates that don't significantly affect how we use cookies, we'll just post the revised policy here. If we make substantial changes—like adding new categories of cookies or working with different third parties—we'll let you know more directly, probably through a notification when you next visit the site.
