What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit kirexanova.com. They help us recognize your browser and remember certain information about your preferences and activities. We're not talking about the edible kind—though that would make website management considerably more enjoyable.

These files don't contain personal information like your name or address. Instead, they store data like your language preference, whether you've logged in, or which pages you've visited. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help our site remember you from one visit to the next.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

How We Use Tracking Technologies

Our primary goal is to create a better learning experience for people studying capital budgeting. Here's what that actually looks like in practice:

• Remembering your progress through course modules so you can pick up where you left off
• Keeping you logged in securely when you return to the platform
• Storing your calculation preferences for NPV, IRR, and payback period examples
• Understanding which teaching methods resonate most with Australian finance professionals
• Identifying technical issues before they affect your learning experience
• Measuring how effective our educational content is at explaining complex concepts
• Personalizing content recommendations based on your learning path and interests

Third-Party Tracking

We work with a limited number of third-party services that may set their own cookies. These include Google Analytics for understanding site usage and educational effectiveness. We've configured these services to respect your privacy as much as possible, but they operate under their own privacy policies.

If you've declined non-essential cookies using the button above, we've signaled to these services that tracking should be limited. However, some minimal data collection may still occur as required for basic service functionality.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies on kirexanova.com. The simplest is using the "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button at the top of this page. This will remove analytics and marketing cookies while keeping the essential ones that make the site function.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view existing cookies, delete them, or block them entirely. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will prevent you from accessing certain features of our platform.

Data Retention and Control

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might last anywhere from 24 hours to 12 months depending on their purpose. We regularly review and clean up old data to ensure we're only keeping what's genuinely useful.

You can request deletion of your cookie data at any time by contacting us at support@kirexanova.com. We'll process your request within 48 hours during business days. This won't affect any essential site functionality, though you may need to reset some preferences.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in how we use cookies or changes in privacy regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on the site. Minor updates might just appear here without separate notification.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically if you're interested in staying informed about our data practices. The last update date is always shown at the bottom of this document.
