Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 2025

silaronvepq operates silaronvepq.com and we want you to know exactly how we use tracking technologies. This isn't just a legal requirement—it's about being transparent with the startup founders we work with every day.

We use various tracking methods to improve your experience, understand how you interact with our platform, and provide relevant information about fundraising opportunities. You're in control of these settings, and we'll show you how.

What Tracking Technologies Actually Do

Think of these small data files as helpful assistants. When you visit our site, they remember your preferences so you don't have to start from scratch each time. They also help us understand which content resonates with founders looking for funding guidance.

These technologies serve several purposes on silaronvepq.com:

  • Keep you logged in as you navigate between fundraising resources
  • Remember which investor profiles you've viewed during your research
  • Show you relevant content based on your startup stage and funding needs
  • Help us understand which resources founders find most valuable
  • Improve load times and overall site performance

We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. Period. The information we collect helps us serve Australian startups better—that's our only motivation.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Operations

These keep silaronvepq.com functioning properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to access your saved investor lists or use our funding calculators. They're necessary for basic site operations and can't be disabled.

Functional Enhancement

These remember your choices—like preferred contact methods or notification settings. They make your experience smoother by not asking the same questions every visit.

Performance Analysis

We track how founders use our resources to identify what's working and what needs improvement. This might include time spent on funding guides or which search terms lead to successful matches.

Marketing Relevance

These help us show you information about upcoming pitch events or new fundraising tools that match your startup's profile. We try to make sure you see opportunities that actually matter to your business.

Specific Technologies on Our Platform

Here's what actually runs when you browse silaronvepq.com:

Technology Type Purpose Duration
Session Management Keeps you logged in while browsing resources Active session only
Preference Storage Remembers your dashboard layout and notification settings 12 months
Analytics Tracking Measures which fundraising resources get used most 24 months
Search History Improves investor matching suggestions 6 months
Event Registration Tracks pitch event signups and attendance 18 months

Third-Party Services We Work With

Some features on silaronvepq.com use external services that have their own tracking methods. For example, when you watch a fundraising webinar we've hosted on a video platform, that platform may track your viewing preferences. We've selected partners who respect privacy, but you should review their policies too.

Taking Control of Your Data

You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers give you granular control over tracking technologies, and we respect whatever choices you make—even if it limits some functionality.

Managing Browser Settings

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and site data
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Keep in mind that blocking certain tracking technologies might affect your experience. You might have to log in more frequently, or your saved searches won't persist between sessions. But that's your choice to make.

Australian founders have specific rights under privacy legislation. You can request to see what data we've collected about your visits, ask us to delete it, or opt out of analytics tracking while still using our core fundraising resources.

How Long We Keep This Information

We don't hoard data indefinitely. Different types of information have different lifespans based on their purpose:

  • Session data disappears when you close your browser
  • Functional preferences last up to a year, then refresh
  • Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after six months
  • Marketing tracking expires after three months of inactivity

You can clear everything immediately through your browser settings or by contacting us directly. We'll process deletion requests within five business days.

Updates to This Policy

Technology evolves, and so do our methods. When we make significant changes to how we track site usage, we'll update this page and notify active users via email. Minor clarifications or legal updates might happen without notification—we recommend checking back occasionally if you're particularly privacy-conscious.

The date at the top shows when we last revised this policy. Major changes in 2025 have focused on giving founders more control over analytics tracking and clearer explanations of what data actually means for their privacy.

Questions About Our Tracking?

We know this stuff can get technical. If something isn't clear or you want to discuss your specific privacy concerns, reach out to us directly.
