What Are Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that websites use to remember information about your visits and interactions. On carovinthas.com, we use various methods to enhance your experience with our savings plans platform and provide personalized financial guidance.
These technologies help us understand how visitors navigate our site, which features are most valuable, and how we can better serve Canadians looking to optimize their financial future. Think of them as digital assistants that remember your preferences and help us tailor our services to your needs.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Operations
These enable core website functionality like secure login to your savings account, form submissions for financial planning tools, and basic navigation. Without these, our platform simply wouldn't work properly.
Performance Analytics
We track how visitors use our savings calculators, which educational resources are most helpful, and where people might encounter difficulties. This data helps us improve our financial tools and content.
Functional Enhancement
These remember your language preferences, calculator settings, and previously viewed savings plans. They make your return visits smoother and more personalized to your financial goals.
Marketing Insights
We use these to understand which financial products interest our Canadian visitors most, helping us create relevant content about savings strategies and investment opportunities that matter to you.
Essential Tracking Information
Cannot Be Disabled
Essential tracking technologies are necessary for basic website operation and cannot be turned off. These include:
- Session management for secure access to your account dashboard
- Form data retention when filling out savings plan applications
- Security tokens that protect against fraudulent transactions
- Basic navigation state to maintain your position within our platform
- Error logging to ensure our financial calculators work correctly
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you visit our savings plan comparison tool, tracking technologies remember your previous searches and preferred criteria. This means you don't have to re-enter your income bracket or savings goals every time you return.
Our analytics tracking shows us that most Canadian visitors spend significant time on our RRSP guidance pages during tax season. This insight helps us prepare more relevant content and ensure these resources remain easily accessible when you need them most.
Performance monitoring helps us identify when our mortgage calculator loads slowly or if certain mobile interactions aren't working smoothly. We can then prioritize fixes for the tools our users rely on most frequently.
Data Retention and Control
How Long We Keep Information
Different types of tracking data have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements in Canada:
- Session data expires when you close your browser or after 2 hours of inactivity
- Functional preferences are stored for up to 12 months to maintain your customized experience
- Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized, retained for 24 months for trend analysis
- Marketing insights are kept for 18 months to understand long-term user interests
- Essential operation data varies based on regulatory requirements for financial services
Managing Your Browser Settings
Most modern browsers give you granular control over tracking technologies. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access these settings through the privacy or security sections of your browser preferences.
You can configure your browser to block all third-party tracking, require permission for each site, or create exceptions for trusted financial websites like carovinthas.com. Keep in mind that blocking essential functionality may prevent you from accessing your account dashboard or using our savings calculators.
For mobile browsers on iOS and Android, similar controls are available in the browser settings menu. Some mobile operating systems also provide system-wide tracking controls that affect how websites can monitor your activity across different apps and sites.
