At Bergamo Meridia, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our financial calendar planning platform and provide you with personalized content that matches your interests.
These digital markers help us understand how you interact with our tools, which features you find most useful, and how we can improve our services. Think of them as helpful assistants that remember your preferences so you don't have to start from scratch each time you visit.

Data Retention and Storage
Different types of cookies have varying lifespans on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years unless you manually remove them.
Analytics data collected through cookies is retained for 26 months to help us understand long-term usage patterns and improve our financial planning tools. Marketing cookies typically expire after 12 months but may be refreshed if you continue interacting with our content.
Third-Party Cookie Policies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services like Google Analytics, social media platforms, and advertising networks. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie management systems that govern how they collect and use your data.
Impact on Your Experience
Rejecting non-essential cookies won't break our website, but it may affect certain features. You'll still be able to access all our financial calendar planning tools, but you might need to re-enter preferences each visit, and we won't be able to provide personalized content recommendations.
Analytics cookies help us understand which features are most valuable to users like you, allowing us to prioritize improvements and develop new tools that better serve the Canadian financial planning community.
