Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
At menariquos, we use tracking technologies to improve how our platform works and to help you get the most out of your visit. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in being straightforward about how we collect and use data. This page will walk you through everything you need to know about the technologies we employ on menariquos.com.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as digital sticky notes that remember bits of information about your visit. Most websites use them because they make browsing smoother and more personalized.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand how people interact with our platform and what we can do better.
How They Actually Work
When you land on menariquos.com, your browser receives these small files from our server. They stay on your device until they expire or until you delete them. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around for longer periods depending on their purpose.
These technologies don't harm your computer. They can't run programs or deliver viruses. They're basically just information containers that help websites remember things about your preferences and activity.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Technologies
These are the non-negotiables. Without them, menariquos.com simply wouldn't function properly. They handle basic things like remembering your login status, maintaining your session as you move between pages, and ensuring security features work correctly. You can't disable these through our settings because they're critical to the platform operating.
Functional Technologies
These remember choices you make so you don't have to repeat them. For instance, if you adjust display settings or set language preferences, functional technologies store those decisions. They make your experience more convenient but aren't absolutely necessary for the site to work.
Analytical Technologies
We use these to understand how investment professionals interact with our financial analysis tools. They tell us which features get used most, where people spend time, and what might be causing confusion. This data helps us improve the platform. The information is aggregated and anonymous, so we see patterns rather than tracking individuals.
Marketing Technologies
These help us show relevant information about our services when you're browsing other sites. They also help us measure whether our outreach efforts are working. If you'd rather not see personalized content, you can adjust these settings in your browser or through our preference center.
Why We Use These Technologies
Our platform serves investment professionals who need reliable access to financial analysis tools. The technologies we use support that mission in several specific ways.
Maintaining Your Session
When you log into menariquos.com, cookies keep you logged in as you navigate between different analytical tools and reports. Without this, you'd need to re-authenticate every time you clicked to a new section, which would be frustrating and inefficient.
Remembering Your Preferences
If you customize how data displays—maybe you prefer certain chart types or specific time periods for analysis—we store those preferences so they're ready the next time you visit. This saves you from reconfiguring settings repeatedly.
Improving Platform Performance
Analytics help us spot technical issues before they become major problems. If a particular feature is loading slowly for many users, we can see that pattern and address it. We also learn which tools matter most to our audience, which informs where we focus development resources.
Providing Relevant Resources
For investment professionals exploring our platform, targeted information helps connect you with resources that match your specific interests. Rather than generic content, you see material related to the analytical approaches you're actually researching.
Managing Your Preferences
You have control over how tracking technologies work on your device. While essential cookies can't be disabled without breaking the site, you have options for everything else.
Browser-Level Controls
All modern browsers let you manage cookies through their settings. Here's where to look in the most common ones:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how menariquos.com functions. You won't be able to stay logged in, and many features won't work correctly. But if privacy is your priority, that option exists.
Third-Party Opt-Outs
Some of our analytical and marketing tools come from third-party providers. Many of these companies offer their own opt-out mechanisms. Organizations like the Digital Advertising Alliance provide centralized tools where you can adjust preferences for multiple advertising networks at once.
Data Retention
How Long We Keep Information
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might last anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years, depending on their purpose.
Analytical data gets aggregated and anonymized fairly quickly. We don't need to keep granular information about individual sessions for long periods. Marketing-related data typically has longer retention periods because measuring campaign effectiveness requires observing patterns over time.
You can clear all cookies from your browser whenever you want, which immediately removes any tracking files we've stored on your device. This doesn't affect data that's already been collected and processed, but it does give you a fresh start.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do the tools we use. When we make significant changes to our tracking practices, we'll update this policy and adjust the date at the top of the page.
If we add new categories of tracking or start working with different third-party providers, you'll see those changes reflected here. We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you have specific privacy concerns about how websites handle data.
For major changes that affect how we handle your information, we might reach out directly through email or display a notice on the platform. But this page will always have the most current and comprehensive information about our tracking technologies.
