What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
When you visit brivanthesquo.com, we use various tracking technologies to improve your experience with our event budget planning platform. These small data files help us understand how you interact with our tools, remember your preferences, and provide personalized assistance for your financial planning needs.
Think of cookies as digital breadcrumbs that help us recognize you when you return to our site. They're not harmful to your device, but they do collect information about your browsing patterns and preferences. This data helps us make your experience smoother and more relevant to your specific event planning requirements.
Types of Cookies We Use
How We Collect and Use Your Data
Our platform automatically collects certain information when you browse our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you visit. We use this data to ensure our event budget planning tools work correctly across different devices and to identify areas for improvement.
We track how you interact with our budget calculators, planning templates, and educational resources. This helps us understand which features are most valuable and where users might need additional guidance. For example, if many users abandon a particular budget template halfway through, we know to simplify that process.
Session cookies maintain your login status and preserve your work as you navigate between different planning tools. Without these, you'd need to re-enter information every time you moved to a new page, which would make budget planning incredibly frustrating.
Data Retention and Storage
We retain cookie data for varying periods depending on its purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to 2 years. Analytics data is typically stored for 26 months, and marketing cookies expire after 13 months. All data is stored securely on servers located in Australia and is protected by industry-standard security measures.
Third-Party Integrations
Our platform integrates with several third-party services to enhance functionality. Google Analytics helps us understand site usage patterns, while payment processors ensure secure transactions for premium features. Social media plugins allow easy sharing of budget templates, and customer support tools help us provide better assistance.
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We carefully select partners who maintain high privacy standards, but we recommend reviewing their policies if you have specific concerns about data sharing.

Disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our platform. Essential cookies are required for basic functionality, so blocking them will prevent you from logging in or using interactive features. Functional cookies enhance usability but aren't strictly necessary for basic operations.
Analytics cookies don't affect your direct experience but help us improve the platform for everyone. Marketing cookies enable personalized content recommendations and relevant educational resources, but you can still access all features without them.
