Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 15 January 2025
At zenorvexia, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data when you visit zenorvexia.com. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them. Think of this as your guide to understanding what's happening behind the scenes while you explore our personal budgeting resources.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They're not programs or viruses—just tiny pieces of data that help websites remember things about your visit. Some cookies remember your preferences, while others help us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
When you visit zenorvexia.com, your browser automatically accepts cookies unless you've changed your settings. These files contain information like your language preference, session details, or whether you've seen a particular message before.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's a breakdown of the different types you'll encounter on our site:
Essential Cookies
These are the cookies that keep the site working properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. They're necessary for basic functionality, so they can't be switched off in our systems. They don't collect information about you that could be used for marketing.
Performance Cookies
These help us understand which pages are popular and how visitors move around the site. All information is aggregated and anonymous. We use this data to spot patterns—like if everyone's leaving from the same page, we know something might be confusing there.
Functionality Cookies
These remember choices you make to give you a more personalized experience. For example, they might remember your preferred currency display or font size. Without these, the site will still work, but you'll need to reset your preferences each visit.
Targeting Cookies
These track your browsing habits to build a profile of your interests. They're set by our advertising partners and help show you relevant content. They don't store personal information directly, but they do identify your browser and device uniquely.
How We Use Cookie Data
The information we gather through cookies serves several practical purposes. Here's what actually happens with the data:
- We track which budgeting tools and calculators get the most use, helping us prioritize improvements where they'll matter most
- Session cookies keep you logged in while you navigate different sections, so you don't have to re-enter credentials every page
- We monitor error messages and technical issues to fix problems before they affect more users
- Performance data shows us if pages are loading slowly for certain regions or devices
- Preference cookies remember settings like dark mode or simplified layout options
- Analytics help us understand common user journeys through our educational content
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser lets you control cookies directly. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies after each session. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how zenorvexia.com functions—some features simply won't work without them.
If you use multiple devices or browsers to access zenorvexia.com, you'll need to adjust settings on each one separately. Mobile browsers also have cookie controls in their settings menus, though the exact location varies by operating system and browser.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use—things like analytics platforms or content delivery networks. We don't have direct control over these cookies, but we've chosen our partners carefully and only work with services that respect user privacy.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, which govern how they use cookie data. When you visit zenorvexia.com, you might encounter cookies from Google Analytics, payment processors, or educational content platforms that integrate with our budgeting tools.
Cookie Retention Periods
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer—typically between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their purpose. Authentication cookies might last a few weeks, while preference cookies could remain for a year or more.
We regularly review and delete old cookie data as part of our data management practices. You can always clear cookies manually through your browser settings if you want a fresh start.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and we occasionally add new features that require different cookie configurations. When we update this policy, we'll change the effective date at the top of the page.
For significant changes, we might show a notification on the site or send an email to registered users. We recommend checking back here every few months if you're particularly concerned about how cookies are used.
By continuing to use zenorvexia.com, you're agreeing to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you don't agree with our cookie practices, you'll need to adjust your browser settings or discontinue using our site.
