Cookie Usage Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to enhance your experience on avilomariento.com
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
We respect your privacy. You can decline all non-essential tracking cookies while still accessing our financial modeling resources. Essential cookies remain active to ensure basic site functionality.

What Are Cookies?
Small text files stored on your device when you visit avilomariento.com. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our financial education content, and improve your learning experience.
We've been using cookies since launching our platform in 2023. Back then, we kept things simple—just session management and basic analytics. Over time, we've refined our approach based on student feedback and privacy best practices.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our platform running. Without them, you couldn't log in, access course materials, or save your progress through financial modeling exercises.
- Session authentication
- Security verification
- Course progress tracking
Functional Cookies
Remember your choices—like whether you prefer dark mode when reviewing spreadsheet tutorials at night, or which currency format you use in exercises.
- Display preferences
- Language settings
- Customization options
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand which modules students find most challenging. For example, we noticed in early 2025 that many learners struggled with DCF models, so we added more practice scenarios.
- Page engagement metrics
- Learning path analysis
- Content effectiveness
Marketing Cookies
Track which resources brought you here and help us share relevant content. If you found us through our valuation modeling guide, we might show you related advanced techniques.
- Campaign attribution
- Content recommendations
- Audience insights
Data Retention Periods
Essential cookies last for your session. Functional cookies stick around for up to a year—long enough to remember your preferences between visits. Analytics data gets anonymized after 90 days. Marketing cookies expire after 30 days unless you interact with our content again.
Browser Control Options
You can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Each browser handles this differently, but they all give you control over what gets stored.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies or clear existing ones here.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection that blocks many third-party cookies automatically.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default on recent versions.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Choose from strict, balanced, or basic tracking prevention.
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
When you're halfway through a complex three-statement model exercise, cookies remember where you left off. They keep you logged in when you switch between our tutorial videos and practice spreadsheets. They help us notice when students abandon certain modules—which often means we need to explain concepts more clearly.
Last year, analytics showed us that mobile users rarely completed exercises on smaller screens. That insight led us to redesign our spreadsheet interface for tablets and phones. Without cookie data, we would've missed that entirely.
