Cookie and Tracking Policy

Last updated: February 2025

When you visit miravontiq.com, we collect certain information to make your experience better. This policy explains how we track and store data when you use our budget education platform.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies. They help us remember your preferences, understand how people interact with our content, and improve what we offer.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you browse websites. They contain information that gets read back during subsequent visits. Most websites use them—it's standard practice across the internet.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months so we can recognise you when you return.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Tracking

These are necessary for basic site functionality. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, navigate between pages properly, or access secure areas. We don't ask permission for these because the site simply won't work without them.

Functional Tracking

These remember choices you make—like your preferred language or which region you're browsing from. They create a more personalised experience without identifying you as an individual.

Analytics Tracking

We track how visitors interact with miravontiq.com. Which articles get read most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement.

Marketing Tracking

These cookies help us show relevant content and measure how effective our outreach efforts are. They track whether you've seen particular campaigns and help us avoid showing you the same material repeatedly.

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

Here's what happens behind the scenes:

You don't need to reset your preferences each time you visit
We can recommend articles based on what you've previously read
Your progress through budget education modules gets saved automatically
We can identify technical issues affecting specific browsers or devices
Load times improve because we remember optimal settings for your connection

We never sell tracking data to third parties. Information collected stays within our organisation and is used solely to enhance the educational resources we provide.

Data Collected Through Tracking

Different tracking methods collect different types of information:

Device information—operating system, browser type, screen resolution
Location data at the city or regional level (not precise coordinates)
Pages viewed and time spent on each section
Links clicked and forms submitted
Search terms used within our site
Referring websites that directed you to miravontiq.com

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You control how cookies work on your device. Every browser lets you block or delete them, though doing so might affect site functionality.

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. We respect these settings where technically feasible.

Third-Party Tracking

Occasionally, embedded content from other platforms may place cookies on your device. For example, if we include a video from an external hosting service, that provider might track your interaction with it.

We choose partners carefully, but their privacy practices are their own responsibility. Check their individual policies if you have concerns.

How Long We Keep Data

Different tracking data gets retained for different periods:

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser
Functional cookies typically last 12 months
Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymised after 26 months
Marketing cookies expire after 90 days unless refreshed by return visits

You can request deletion of your tracking data at any time by contacting us directly.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this policy periodically. When tracking practices change significantly, we'll update the date at the top and notify regular users through email or on-site announcements.

Continuing to use miravontiq.com after policy updates means you accept the revised terms.
