Cookie & Data Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you browse. Think of them as digital notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience. At pavonariels, we use several types of tracking technologies beyond just cookies.

These include web beacons (tiny invisible images), local storage, and session identifiers. Each serves a different purpose in helping us provide better financial comparison services. Some track which companies you've compared recently, while others remember your preferred currency settings or chart display options.

How pavonariels Uses Your Data

When you analyze companies on our platform, we collect information about your interaction patterns. This helps us understand which financial metrics are most important to users and how to improve our comparison algorithms.

For instance, if many users spend extra time examining debt-to-equity ratios, we might make those calculations more prominent. We also track which industry sectors get compared most frequently to ensure our database stays current with market interests.

Your search history within pavonariels helps us suggest relevant companies for comparison. If you frequently analyze tech companies, we might highlight when similar firms release quarterly reports. This data never includes personal financial information about your own investments or holdings.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which cookies pavonariels can use on your device. While essential cookies are required for basic functionality, you can opt out of all other tracking technologies using the button below.

When you reject non-essential cookies, you'll still have full access to all company comparison features. However, you may need to reset your preferences each time you visit, and we won't be able to suggest companies based on your previous research patterns.

Third-Party Integrations

pavonariels integrates with financial data providers to ensure our company information stays current. These partnerships may involve sharing anonymized usage statistics about which companies are trending in user searches.

We also use third-party analytics services to understand user behavior patterns. These services receive data about page views, time spent on different sections, and general geographic location (country level only). No personally identifiable information is shared with external analytics providers.

Some embedded charts and graphs come from financial data vendors who may set their own cookies. When you interact with these elements, you're subject to their respective privacy policies, though we've selected partners with strong data protection standards.

Updates and Changes

This cookie policy gets reviewed every six months or when we add new features to pavonariels. Significant changes will be highlighted with a notification banner when you next visit the site.

As financial regulations evolve, we may need to adjust our data collection practices. We'll always aim to maintain your current level of privacy while complying with applicable laws in South Africa and internationally.
