Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember your preferences and improve your experience. At AdvantaHyper, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies to provide you with better budget benchmarking tools.

These technologies include session cookies that disappear when you close your browser, persistent cookies that stay on your device for a set period, and local storage that helps our financial analysis tools work more efficiently.

We also use web beacons and pixel tags — tiny invisible images that help us understand how you interact with our budget comparison features. These aren't stored on your device but help us see which parts of our service are most valuable to users.

We've organized our tracking into four main categories, each serving a specific purpose in making AdvantaHyper work better for your financial planning needs.

Here's what tracking actually does for you when you use our budget benchmarking platform. When you first create a comparison report, we remember your industry sector and business size so you don't have to re-enter this information every time.

If you're halfway through building a budget analysis and need to step away, our session cookies keep your work saved temporarily. This means you can come back later and pick up exactly where you left off without losing your progress.

• Faster loading times for your frequently used benchmark categories
• Personalized dashboard showing your most relevant financial metrics
• Remembering your preferred chart types and data visualization settings
• Auto-saving draft reports so you never lose important analysis work
• Suggesting relevant benchmark comparisons based on your industry focus

Our analytics help us identify when users struggle with certain features. For example, if many people abandon the budget comparison tool at a specific step, we know to simplify that process or add better guidance.

Different types of data stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, which is perfect for sensitive activities like reviewing financial benchmarks. Preference cookies might stay for up to a year so your dashboard stays customized.

Analytics data gets anonymized after 90 days — we keep the insights about how our tools perform but remove any connection to individual users. Marketing cookies typically last 30 days, giving us enough time to show you relevant content without tracking you indefinitely.

You have several ways to control this data:

• Clear all cookies through your browser settings at any time
• Set your browser to ask permission before accepting cookies
• Use incognito or private browsing mode for temporary sessions
• Contact us directly to request data deletion from our systems
• Opt out of marketing cookies while keeping functional ones

Every major browser gives you control over cookies and tracking. The exact steps vary, but the principles are similar across different browsers. Here's how to manage your preferences:

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might affect how our budget benchmarking tools function. You'll still be able to access most features, but some personalization and convenience functions might not work as smoothly.

Some cookies on our site come from trusted third-party services that help us provide better functionality. We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our benchmarking tools, but we've configured it to respect user privacy and anonymize IP addresses.

Our financial data visualization tools integrate with charting libraries that may set their own functional cookies. These help render your budget comparisons and industry benchmarks more effectively.

We don't allow advertising networks or data brokers to place tracking cookies on our site. Any third-party cookies are strictly functional and related to the services you're actively using on advantahyper.com.

Current third-party services include:

• Analytics platforms for improving our user experience
• Content delivery networks for faster page loading
• Security services that help protect your data
• Financial data providers for benchmark comparisons
