Cookie Policy
How vexolirona.com uses tracking technologies to improve your experience and protect your financial data
Last updated: February 2025
We're pretty upfront about this stuff. When you visit vexolirona.com, we use small data files called cookies. They help us remember your preferences and keep your sessions secure while you're analyzing financial metrics.
This isn't about being nosy. It's about making sure the platform works properly and remembering things like whether you prefer dark mode or which currency format you typically use.
What Tracking Technologies Actually Do
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes. When you log in to review a company's liquidity ratios, a cookie remembers that session so you don't get kicked out halfway through. They store bits of information like your session ID, language preference, and which dashboard view you were using last time.
We also use local storage and session storage. These are similar but work slightly differently. Local storage sticks around until you clear it manually. Session storage disappears when you close your browser. Both help the platform run smoothly without constantly asking you the same questions.
The Four Main Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. Without them, you can't log in or save your analysis work. They're non-negotiable if you want to actually use the platform.
- Session authentication tokens
- Security verification codes
- Form submission data
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Like if you prefer viewing ratios as percentages or decimals, or which dashboard layout you've customized.
- Display preferences
- Language settings
- Custom dashboard configurations
Analytical Cookies
We track which features get used most often. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. All data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Page visit counts
- Feature usage patterns
- Time spent on analysis tools
Performance Cookies
These help us optimize loading times and server response. If you're pulling up complex financial statements, we want that data to load quickly.
- Load time measurements
- Error tracking
- Server response optimization
How This Actually Helps You
- Your saved financial models and comparison templates stay accessible across sessions without needing to recreate them every time
- The platform remembers which companies you're tracking, so your dashboard loads with relevant data immediately
- Security features work properly because cookies verify your identity throughout your session
- We can spot technical issues before they affect your work, like if a particular calculation tool is running slowly
- Your customized views and preferences persist, so you're not constantly resetting display options
- Form data gets temporarily stored so you don't lose everything if your connection drops mid-analysis
Here's a real example. Say you're comparing solvency ratios for three Australian mining companies. You've set up specific parameters and adjusted the time periods. Without cookies, closing your browser would wipe all that work. With them, you can pick up exactly where you left off the next day.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You've got control here. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, though be aware this might break some functionality. Essential cookies can't be disabled if you want to use the platform, but you can manage the others.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones here.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose standard, strict, or custom protection levels.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari automatically blocks most third-party cookies by default.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Similar options to Chrome since they share underlying technology.
If you block all cookies, you'll likely encounter issues logging in and saving work. The analytical and performance cookies can usually be disabled without major problems, though the platform might run a bit slower.
Data Retention Periods
How Long We Keep This Stuff
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might stick around for up to 12 months, depending on their purpose. Authentication tokens typically expire after 30 days of inactivity. Performance and analytical data gets anonymized and aggregated within 90 days.
You can clear cookies manually anytime through your browser settings. This forces everything to reset, though you'll need to log in again and reconfigure your preferences from scratch.
Technical Details for the Curious
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your login session and authentication state | Session | Essential |
| user_prefs | Stores dashboard layout and display preferences | 12 months | Functional |
| csrf_token | Security token preventing cross-site request forgery | Session | Essential |
| analytics_id | Tracks usage patterns for platform improvement | 6 months | Analytical |
| performance_metrics | Monitors load times and technical performance | 3 months | Performance |
| last_visit | Records your most recent activity timestamp | 30 days | Functional |
Third-Party Services
We use a couple of external services that set their own cookies. Our hosting provider uses cookies for load balancing across Australian servers. Our analytics provider (which we've configured to anonymize IP addresses) tracks aggregate usage patterns.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, which you should review if you're concerned about their data practices. We've chosen providers that comply with Australian privacy standards and don't sell your data to advertisers.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. We might add new features that require different tracking methods, or regulations might shift. When that happens, we'll update this page and adjust the "last updated" date at the top.
Major changes get announced through email notifications to active users. Minor technical adjustments typically don't warrant individual notification, but the updated policy will always be available here.
