Cookie Usage Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on marinosian.com
Last Updated: January 2025
This policy explains how marinosian uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our net worth calculation platform. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and how it benefits your experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're essentially tiny bits of information that help websites remember things about you – like your preferences or login status.
Think of them as digital bookmarks. When you return to marinosian.com, these files help us recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly. They don't contain personal information like your name or address, but they do store data about how you interact with our financial tools.
We use cookies to make our net worth calculator work smoothly and to understand how people use our service. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around for longer periods.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the platform running. They're necessary for basic functions like accessing secure areas of our site and using the net worth calculation tools. Without these, marinosian.com simply wouldn't work properly. You can't opt out of essential cookies because they're fundamental to providing our service.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, they store which currency format you prefer or how you like your dashboard arranged. They make your experience more personalized without collecting sensitive information about you beyond what's needed for customization.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our financial tools. They tell us which features get used most, where people spend time, and where they encounter difficulties. This information helps us improve the platform and fix problems faster.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to deliver relevant content. We might use them to show you information about features you've explored or to share updates about new financial planning tools that match your interests. They help us communicate more effectively without bombarding you with irrelevant messages.
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
When you use our net worth calculator, cookies help us save your progress. If your browser crashes or you accidentally close a tab, your data isn't lost. That's cookies working behind the scenes to protect your work.
They also speed things up. Instead of downloading the same resources every time you visit, cookies tell your browser what's already stored locally. This makes pages load faster and reduces data usage – particularly helpful if you're on a mobile connection.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser – they're temporary helpers that only exist during your visit. Persistent cookies stick around longer, sometimes for months or even years, depending on their purpose.
You have complete control over non-essential cookies. The rejection tool below removes analytics and marketing cookies immediately. Essential cookies remain because they're necessary for the site to function, but they don't track your behavior across other websites.
Your cookie preferences are stored locally on your device. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, you'll need to set your preferences again. This is a security feature – it means we're not tracking your choices across multiple contexts.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can decline non-essential cookies at any time. This removes analytics and marketing cookies while keeping the essential ones that make marinosian.com work.
Current Status: Cookies Accepted
About Essential Cookies
Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they're required for basic site functionality including secure access to your account, form submissions, and using our net worth calculation tools. These cookies don't track your behavior or share data with third parties.
Browser-Level Cookie Management
Beyond our preference tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers give you granular control over what gets stored and for how long.
Common Browser Controls:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies can break website functionality. Many sites, including marinosian.com, rely on certain cookies to provide basic services. You might find yourself unable to log in or save preferences if you disable everything.
Third-Party Cookies
We occasionally use services from other companies that may set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video tutorial or use analytics tools, those services might place cookies to track performance or gather statistics.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them if you're concerned about how your data is handled. We only work with reputable services that prioritize user privacy and comply with Australian privacy regulations.
Third-party cookies are typically the marketing and analytics types. When you reject non-essential cookies using our tool, most of these third-party cookies are removed or prevented from being set in the first place.
