Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At dreskanoevia, we're pretty straightforward about how we use tracking tech on our website. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do if you'd rather we didn't. We believe in transparency—you should know what's happening when you visit dreskanoevia.com.
What Are Cookies, Really?
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you browse our site. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our platform. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us provide a better experience for you.
Some stick around for a single session. Others might hang out on your device for months or even years, depending on their purpose. We're not just collecting data for the sake of it—each type serves a specific function that benefits your experience.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the non-negotiables. Without them, our website simply wouldn't function properly. They handle basic tasks like remembering your login status and keeping your session secure as you navigate between pages.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. If you've set specific filters for your budget benchmarking or chosen a particular dashboard layout, functional cookies make sure those settings stick around for your next visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people actually use our platform. Which features get the most attention? Where do users get stuck? This data helps us improve the tools and resources we provide for financial planning.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across different websites to show you relevant content. If you've been looking at our budget analysis tools, you might see related content elsewhere. We work with select partners to make sure any advertising you see is actually useful.
How This Actually Helps You
Look, we could run dreskanoevia.com without most of these tracking methods. But the experience would be pretty clunky. Every time you visited, you'd need to reconfigure your dashboard. We wouldn't know which budgeting features are most valuable to Australian businesses. And we'd have no way to improve the platform based on real usage patterns.
When you compare your business spending against industry benchmarks, cookies help us deliver accurate, relevant comparisons based on your specific sector and region. They also let us spot trends—like if businesses in Queensland have different financial patterns than those in New South Wales.
Taking Control of Your Data
You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers let you manage or block cookies entirely. Just be aware that blocking everything might break some functionality on our site.
Head to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. From there, you can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones.
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox has some solid built-in tracking protection that you can customize.
Open Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default, but you can adjust these settings or clear your history entirely.
Navigate to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge offers three levels of tracking prevention.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different cookies have different lifespans. Some expire the moment you close your browser. Others might stick around for up to two years, particularly those that remember your login preferences or dashboard customizations.
| Cookie Type | Typical Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain active session and security |
| Authentication | 30-90 days | Keep you logged in between visits |
| Preferences | 12 months | Remember your customized settings |
| Analytics | 24 months | Track long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing | 12-24 months | Deliver relevant content across platforms |
Third-Party Services
We work with a handful of trusted partners who help us run our platform effectively. These include analytics providers, hosting services, and occasionally advertising networks. Each of these partners may place their own cookies on your device.
We're selective about who we work with. Any third party handling data on our behalf must meet Australian privacy standards and our own security requirements. But once data leaves our site, their own policies apply—so you might want to review those separately.
Important: If you opt out of all non-essential cookies, you might notice some features behaving differently. Your benchmark comparisons will still work, but we won't be able to save your customized views or remember your industry sector between sessions.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations change. And sometimes we add new features that require different tracking methods. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and notify active users through our platform.
Major changes—like adding new categories of cookies or partnering with different service providers—will come with more prominent notifications. We're not trying to sneak anything past you.
