Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
At meraviontix, we believe in being straightforward about how we collect and use data related to your visits. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
When you visit meraviontix.com, small text files get stored on your device. These help us understand how people interact with our comparative company analysis tools and improve your experience over time.
What Are Cookies, Really?
Think of cookies as brief notes that our website leaves on your computer or phone. They're tiny files containing letters and numbers that help us recognize your device when you return.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser—we call these session cookies. Others stick around longer (persistent cookies) so your preferences are remembered next time you visit. We use both types, depending on what makes sense for the task at hand.
Beyond cookies, we occasionally use similar technologies like web beacons and pixels. These work alongside cookies to give us a clearer picture of how our financial comparison tools are being used across Australia and beyond.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
E Essential Cookies
These are the non-negotiables. Without them, basic features simply wouldn't work. They handle things like keeping you logged in as you navigate between comparison charts or maintaining your session when you're building a custom financial report.
- Keep your session active during analysis work
- Remember security preferences you've set
- Enable core features of our comparison platform
F Functional Cookies
These make your experience smoother by remembering choices you've made. If you've selected certain industries to compare or adjusted how data displays, functional cookies save those preferences so you don't need to start from scratch each visit.
- Your preferred dashboard layout settings
- Industry sectors you frequently compare
- Display preferences for financial metrics
A Analytics Cookies
We want to know what's working and what isn't. Analytics cookies help us see which comparison tools get used most, where people spend their time, and where they might be getting stuck. This information guides how we improve the platform.
- Which analysis features are most valuable
- How long typical research sessions last
- Navigation patterns through financial data
M Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across websites to build a profile of your interests. They're used to show relevant content and measure how effective our communication is. You'll see fewer random ads and more information about features that might actually help your work.
- Show relevant financial analysis content
- Limit how often you see the same message
- Measure effectiveness of our communications
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Just be aware that some features on meraviontix.com might not work properly if you disable essential cookies.
Here's where to adjust settings in common browsers:
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies stay around for different lengths of time. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.
We regularly review and clear out cookies that are no longer serving a useful purpose. And you can always clear them yourself through your browser settings.
Under Australian privacy law, you have rights regarding the data we collect. You can request to see what information we hold, ask for corrections, or request deletion of certain data. Just contact us and we'll walk you through the process.
Third-Party Services
Sometimes we work with external services that help us analyze site usage or deliver features. These partners might set their own cookies when you visit meraviontix.com.
For example, we might use analytics providers to understand how our comparison tools are performing, or content delivery networks to make the site load faster. These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We carefully vet any third-party services we use and only work with providers who meet our standards for data protection and user privacy.
| Cookie Category | Typical Duration | Can Be Disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session or 1 year | No (required for site function) |
| Functional | 1-2 years | Yes (reduces convenience) |
| Analytics | 2 years | Yes (no impact on features) |
| Marketing | 1-2 years | Yes (no impact on features) |
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and our services grow. We might update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect those shifts. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and may notify you through the website or email if you've registered with us.
