Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At dariventivo, we believe you deserve to know exactly how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on dariventivo.com and why they matter for your experience with our budget tracking platform.
We're not fans of legal jargon, so we've written this in plain language. If something's unclear, reach out to us directly at contact@dariventivo.com.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you were doing.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They just sit there quietly, storing bits of information like your login status or which features you prefer using.
When you come back to dariventivo.com, these files help us recognize your browser and recall your preferences. Without them, you'd have to log in every single time you navigated to a different page, which would be frustrating.
How dariventivo Uses Tracking Technologies
We use several types of tracking methods on our platform. Each serves a specific purpose in making your budget tracking experience smoother and more personalized.
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to make dariventivo.com work properly. They handle your login sessions, keep you authenticated as you move between pages, and remember critical security settings. You can't turn these off without breaking the site's core functionality.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like which budget view you prefer, your dashboard layout, or whether you want to see amounts in monthly or yearly totals. They make the platform feel personalized to you rather than serving everyone the same generic experience.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people actually use our budget tracking tools. Which features get the most attention? Where do users get confused? This information helps us improve the platform based on real behavior rather than guesswork.
Performance Cookies
These track technical performance metrics like page load times and error rates. If the budget calculator suddenly starts running slowly for users in Melbourne, these cookies help us identify and fix the problem quickly.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here's a detailed breakdown of the actual cookies you'll find on dariventivo.com. We've organized them by purpose so you can see exactly what each one does.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| domain_session | Maintains your logged-in status and session security | Session only |
| user_preferences | Stores your dashboard layout and display preferences | 12 months |
| analytics_id | Anonymous identifier for usage pattern analysis | 24 months |
| security_token | Prevents unauthorized access and CSRF attacks | Session only |
| feature_flags | Controls which new features you see during testing | 6 months |
What About Third-Party Cookies?
We keep these to a minimum. The only external cookies on dariventivo.com come from our analytics provider and payment processor. We don't allow advertising networks or social media platforms to track you on our site. Your budget information is private, and we intend to keep it that way.
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
Let me give you some real examples of how these tracking technologies actually help you when using dariventivo's budget tracking system.
- When you customize your dashboard to show certain budget categories first, cookies remember that arrangement so you don't have to set it up every visit
- If you're comparing expenses across multiple months, cookies keep your selection active as you navigate between different reports
- When you start creating a budget entry but need to step away, cookies can preserve your draft so you don't lose that work
- They help us detect unusual login patterns that might indicate someone's trying to access your account without permission
- Analytics cookies show us which budget templates people use most, helping us design better templates for everyone
Basically, they make the platform feel less mechanical and more responsive to how you actually work with your finances.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're in charge here. Every major browser gives you tools to manage, limit, or delete cookies. The process varies slightly depending on which browser you use.
- Google Chrome Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear existing cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox Open Settings, click Privacy and Security, then scroll to Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers several protection levels from standard to strict.
- Safari Open Preferences, go to Privacy, and you'll find options to block all cookies or just cross-site tracking. Safari is pretty aggressive about blocking by default.
- Microsoft Edge Click Settings, then Privacy and Services. Under Cookies, you can choose from basic, balanced, or strict tracking prevention.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will probably break some features on dariventivo.com. The login system and dashboard customization won't work properly without at least the essential cookies enabled.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. Others might last months or even years, depending on their purpose.
We review and clean up cookie data regularly. If a cookie hasn't served its purpose in months, we delete it. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months, removing any connection to your specific browsing session.
You have the right to access what cookie data we've collected about you, request its deletion, or ask us to stop using certain tracking technologies for your account. Send those requests to contact@dariventivo.com and we'll handle them within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and we occasionally add new features that require different tracking methods. When we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top and notify active users through email or dashboard alerts. We won't make changes that significantly expand tracking without giving you clear notice and control options.
