Cookie Policy
We believe you should understand how we use tracking technologies on orquavethis.com. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last Updated: January 2026
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
When you visit orquavethis.com, small text files get stored on your device. These are cookies. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our financial recovery resources.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. Think of these as tools that help us make your experience smoother and more relevant to your needs.
Most websites use these technologies. They're pretty standard across the internet, and they serve different purposes depending on what you're trying to do on a site.
How We Use These Technologies
Here's the thing about tracking technologies – they're not inherently good or bad. They're just tools. What matters is how we use them.
On our platform, we use them to:
- Keep you logged in when you navigate between pages
- Remember which financial tools you've used before
- Understand which educational resources get the most attention
- Improve our content based on what actually helps people
- Show you information relevant to your situation in Australia
- Protect your account from unauthorized access
We're not trying to build some massive profile about your entire online life. We focus on making orquavethis.com work better for people dealing with financial challenges.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
Essential Cookies Required
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log in, navigate securely, or use our financial planning tools. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for the platform to work.
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your preferences – like which calculator you used last or whether you prefer detailed explanations or quick summaries. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across the web.
Analytical Cookies Optional
We use these to understand which pages help people most. If everyone exits from a particular article, that tells us something. We use this information to improve our content and layout.
Marketing Cookies Optional
These help us show relevant information about our services when you're browsing other sites. We work with advertising partners who operate within Australian privacy standards.
Specific Cookies We Use
Transparency matters to us. Below you'll find details about the actual cookies we deploy on orquavethis.com:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| domain_session | Maintains your login session and keeps you authenticated while using our tools | Until browser closes |
| user_preferences | Stores your interface preferences and personalized settings | 12 months |
| calculator_state | Remembers your inputs in financial calculators so you don't lose your work | 7 days |

Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes other services place cookies when you're on our site. This happens when we embed content from external providers or use analytics services.
For example, if we embed a video explaining debt consolidation, the video platform might set its own cookies. We choose our partners carefully, but you should know they have their own privacy policies.
The main third parties we work with include:
- Analytics providers who help us understand site performance
- Advertising networks that show relevant financial education content
- Security services that protect against fraud and unauthorized access
- Content delivery networks that make pages load faster across Australia
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Every modern browser lets you manage cookies, though the exact steps vary.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Most people adjust cookie settings through their browser. Here's where to find those controls in popular browsers:
You can typically choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or review cookies on a case-by-case basis. Just know that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using certain features on orquavethis.com.
If you use multiple devices, you'll need to set preferences on each one separately. Your phone settings don't automatically sync with your laptop browser.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others persist until their expiration date or until you manually delete them.
We set retention periods based on legitimate business needs. A cookie that remembers your login might last a month. One that tracks long-term site improvements might last two years.
When cookies expire, they automatically delete themselves. You don't need to do anything.
For analytical data, we aggregate and anonymize information after 90 days. This means we keep the insights but remove any connection to individual visitors.
Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
The Australian Privacy Principles give you specific rights about your data. This includes information collected through cookies.
You can request access to the data we've collected about you. You can ask us to correct inaccurate information. In certain circumstances, you can request deletion of your data.
We take these rights seriously. If you want to exercise any of them, get in touch through our contact page. We'll respond within the timeframes required by law.
Keep in mind that some data retention is required by Australian financial regulations. We can't delete records we're legally obligated to maintain.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations change. Our services evolve. This means we'll occasionally update this cookie policy.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the platform. Usually that means a notice when you next log in, or an email if the changes materially affect your privacy.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently revised this policy. We keep previous versions archived in case you want to see what changed.
