Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2026
Right, so here's how we handle tracking on miraventora.com. We're not fans of the overly formal "we value your privacy" speech that everyone skips over anyway. But we do need to tell you what's happening when you visit our site.
We use cookies and similar tracking bits to make the site work properly and to understand how people actually use it. Some of these are absolutely necessary. Others help us improve things. And yes, we'll be straight with you about what we're doing and why.
What Actually Happens Here
When you land on our site, small text files get stored in your browser. That's what cookies are. Nothing sinister, really. They help the site remember things like your preferences or whether you're logged in.
We also use web beacons and similar tracking pixels. These are tiny invisible images that help us understand which pages people visit and how they navigate around. Again, this isn't about surveillance. It's about figuring out what works and what doesn't so we can make the experience better for Australian businesses trying to sort out their departmental budgets.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, navigate between pages, or access secure areas. We don't ask permission for these because they're genuinely necessary for the site to work at all.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your timezone settings, language preferences, or customized dashboard views. They make your experience more personalized without us having to ask you the same questions every time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our content. Which pages get visited most? Where do people get stuck? What learning materials actually get used? This data helps us improve the educational content and make it more useful for finance teams.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to help us show you relevant content and understand which marketing efforts actually work. We don't share this data with random third parties, but we do use it to make our communications more relevant to what you're actually interested in.
How This Actually Helps You
Look, tracking gets a bad reputation. But here's what it does for you on our site:
- Remembers where you left off in learning modules so you don't have to start from scratch each time
- Keeps your budget templates and saved work accessible across sessions
- Shows you relevant course recommendations based on your role and interests
- Saves your dashboard preferences so everything loads the way you like it
- Helps us identify which educational content is most valuable so we can create more of it
- Enables us to spot technical problems before they affect too many users
Without these tracking mechanisms, you'd essentially be starting fresh every single time you visited. That would be frustrating for everyone.
Taking Control of Your Data
You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Every modern browser gives you control over what gets stored and what doesn't.
You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or set your browser to ask permission before accepting new ones. Just be aware that blocking essential cookies will probably break core site functionality. The login system won't work properly, your preferences won't save, and you might have trouble accessing certain features.
For non-essential cookies though? Block away if that makes you more comfortable. The site will still function, you'll just get a more generic experience.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies slightly differently. Here's where to find the controls:
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
How Long We Keep This Data
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Some vanish the moment you close your browser. Others hang around for months or even years.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Why This Long |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | These handle your active session and don't need to persist longer |
| Authentication | 30 days | Keeps you logged in between visits for convenience |
| Preferences | 12 months | Remembers your settings long-term so you don't reset them constantly |
| Analytics | 24 months | Allows us to track long-term trends and improvements |
| Marketing | 13 months | Helps measure campaign effectiveness over reasonable timeframes |
You can always delete cookies manually through your browser settings if you want them gone sooner.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that place their own cookies. These include our learning management system, video hosting for tutorial content, and analytics platforms that help us understand site performance.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we can't control. We only work with reputable services that align with Australian privacy standards, but you should read their policies if you want full details on how they handle data.
We don't sell your data to anyone. That's not our business model and frankly would be counterproductive to building trust with the finance professionals we're trying to help.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations change. Our site functionality changes. So this policy will probably change too over time.
When we make significant updates, we'll change the date at the top and may notify active users through the site. For minor clarifications or wording improvements, we'll just update the document without fanfare.
If you're concerned about staying current, bookmark this page and check back occasionally. Or better yet, if you have questions about how we're handling your data, just ask us directly.
Questions About Our Tracking?
If something here doesn't make sense or you want more specific information about how we're handling your data, we're happy to explain.
