Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 12 February 2025
At piraventozo, we believe in transparency about the technologies we use to enhance your experience on piraventozo.com. This policy explains how we employ tracking technologies — and more importantly, what control you have over them. We're not fans of jargon, so we've tried to keep this straightforward.
What Are These Tracking Things Anyway?
Look, cookies aren't nearly as exciting as the edible kind. They're just small text files that websites store on your device when you visit. Think of them as tiny digital sticky notes that remember bits of information about your visit — like the fact you prefer viewing charts in dark mode, or which educational resources you've already downloaded.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixels. These work alongside cookies to help us understand how people interact with our content. For instance, they tell us if someone watched our video on discounted cash flow analysis or abandoned halfway through (which helps us make better content).
The Different Types We Use
Essential Ones
These keep the site actually working. Without them, you can't log in, navigate between pages properly, or access secure areas. They're the non-negotiables.
Functional Helpers
These remember your preferences so you don't have to reset everything each visit. Language choices, display settings, whether you've dismissed that newsletter popup — stuff like that.
Analytics Trackers
We use these to understand which content actually helps people. They show us patterns — like if everyone's struggling to find our fundamental analysis guide, we know to make it more prominent.
Marketing Tools
These help us show relevant content to people who might find it useful. If you've been reading about valuation methods, you might see information about our upcoming webinar on that topic.
How We Actually Use This Information
Here's the practical side. When someone visits our resources on ratio analysis, we track that visit (anonymously). Over time, we notice patterns. Maybe everyone's downloading our cash flow statement guide but nobody reads the balance sheet one. That tells us something's off with that content.
Specific Examples from Our Site
- Remembering if you've completed the introductory module so you can pick up where you left off
- Tracking which financial models people find most useful for their learning journey
- Understanding peak usage times so our servers can handle the load without slowing down
- Measuring how many people start our equity valuation course versus how many actually finish it
- Showing you relevant advanced content after you've mastered the fundamentals
- Preventing duplicate form submissions when you're registering for webinars
Taking Control of Your Settings
You're not stuck with our choices. Every major browser lets you manage cookies, and honestly, you should know how to do this regardless of our site. It's useful knowledge.
The quick version: go into your browser settings and look for "Privacy" or "Cookies." You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can use them.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox

How Long We Keep Them
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others hang around longer because they need to — you probably don't want to log in every single time you visit.
| Type | Duration | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until browser closes | Basic navigation and security during your visit |
| Preference cookies | 12 months | Remember your settings between visits |
| Analytics cookies | 24 months | Track learning patterns and content effectiveness over time |
| Marketing cookies | 12 months | Show relevant educational content and program information |
Third-Party Trackers
We're upfront about this: some cookies on our site come from other companies. When we embed a video from a hosting platform or use analytics tools, those providers set their own cookies. We pick partners carefully, but they have their own policies that govern how they handle data.
You can block third-party cookies specifically in most browsers. Just know that some embedded content might not work properly if you do.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Privacy regulations evolve. When we need to update this policy, we'll change the effective date at the top and post the new version here. If there's a major change that significantly affects how we use tracking technologies, we'll let you know more directly — probably via email if you're subscribed to our updates, or through a notice on the site itself.
Questions About Cookies?
