How We Use Cookies and Tracking Technologies
At riventarion, we believe transparency about data collection is fundamental to building trust with our users. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on riventarion.com to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy choices.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, analyze how you use our platform, and provide personalized content related to financial modeling and education.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, form submissions, and navigation. We cannot disable these as they're required for the site to work properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and settings, such as language choices, dashboard layouts, and customized learning paths. They make your experience more personalized without tracking your browsing behavior.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our financial education content. They help us identify popular courses, optimize page performance, and improve our learning resources based on user engagement patterns.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to show you relevant educational opportunities and content recommendations. They help us display targeted information about financial modeling courses and resources that match your interests.

Data Retention and Storage
We automatically delete expired cookies and anonymize analytics data after the retention periods listed above. Your course progress and essential account information remain secure and accessible regardless of your cookie preferences.
Important: Rejecting marketing and analytics cookies won't affect your ability to access courses, view content, or use core platform features. However, you may see less relevant content recommendations and we'll have limited ability to optimize your learning experience.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Beyond our preference controls, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive notifications about cookies. Here's how different approaches affect your experience:
Blocking All Cookies: This may prevent login functionality and cause issues with course navigation. We recommend using our selective controls instead.
Periodic Deletion: Regularly clearing cookies will reset your preferences and course progress markers, though your account data remains safe on our servers.
Third-Party Cookie Blocking: This prevents marketing tracking while maintaining full site functionality—a good middle-ground option for privacy-conscious users.
How Tracking Enhances Your Learning Experience
When you allow functional and analytics cookies, we can provide more personalized educational experiences. For example, we track which financial modeling techniques you find most engaging and suggest advanced courses accordingly.
Our analytics help us identify when students struggle with specific concepts, allowing us to create additional resources or modify course content. We've used this data to develop our popular "Excel Fundamentals for Finance" series based on observed learning patterns.
Marketing cookies enable us to show you relevant continuing education opportunities and notify you about new courses in your areas of interest, rather than generic promotional content.
