What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit felonytharivos.com, we use several types of tracking technologies to enhance your experience and understand how our platform is used. These small data files help us remember your preferences, analyze website performance, and provide personalized content about business acquisition opportunities.

Cookies are text files stored on your device that contain information about your browsing session. Beyond traditional cookies, we also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies that serve similar purposes in tracking user interactions and preferences.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a more intuitive platform for business buyers. For example, when you search for restaurants in Toronto, we remember this preference to show similar opportunities first in future visits.

Analytics data helps us understand that users spend more time reviewing financial documents during weekday evenings, so we optimize our document loading speeds during these peak hours. Marketing cookies ensure you see educational webinars about business valuation rather than unrelated content.

We also use tracking to detect unusual login patterns that might indicate security threats, protecting both your personal information and the sensitive business data you access through our platform.

Data Retention and Your Control

Most cookies on felonytharivos.com expire within 12 months, though some essential security cookies may last up to 24 months. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 18 months, while marketing preferences are typically refreshed every 6 months to ensure relevance.

You have several options for managing your tracking preferences. The "Decline All Non-Essential Cookies" button above will remove analytical and marketing tracking while preserving essential functionality. Your choice is saved and respected across all future visits to our platform.

Even with tracking declined, you can still access all business listings, contact sellers, and use our educational resources. However, you may need to re-enter preferences and won't receive personalized recommendations based on your browsing history.

Browser-Based Cookie Management

Keep in mind that completely blocking all cookies may affect website functionality and prevent you from accessing certain features of our business acquisition platform.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

felonytharivos partners with trusted third-party services for analytics, customer support, and payment processing. These partners may set their own cookies when you interact with their integrated features on our platform.

We work with Google Analytics, payment processors like Stripe, and communication tools that help facilitate connections between buyers and sellers. Each of these services has their own privacy policies and cookie management options.

Canadian privacy laws require us to ensure that any data shared with third parties is handled according to strict privacy standards. We regularly audit our partners to maintain compliance with applicable privacy regulations.
