Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At giravonexil, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on giravonexil.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're not here to hide behind legal jargon—just clear information about how our site works.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content. We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage to enhance your experience.
Think of them as little notes our website leaves on your device. Some remember that you prefer dark mode. Others help us see which budget calculators are most popular so we can improve them.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all tracking serves the same purpose. Here's a breakdown of what we use and why each type matters:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They remember your login status, secure your session, and help our forms work properly. Without these, basic features wouldn't function. You can't disable these because they're necessary for the site to work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like whether you've completed our budget onboarding quiz or which currency format you prefer. They make your experience more personalized without requiring you to reset preferences every visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people navigate our site. Which articles about zero-based budgeting get the most attention? Where do visitors drop off? This data helps us create better content and improve navigation. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
Marketing Cookies
These track your interaction with our educational content so we can show you relevant resources. If you've been reading about emergency fund strategies, we might suggest related workshops. They also help us measure whether our outreach efforts actually resonate with people.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Let's get specific about what these technologies actually do for you:
- Remember where you left off in our budgeting course modules
- Keep you logged in securely between sessions
- Save your budget category preferences and calculations
- Show you content that matches your financial goals and interests
- Help us identify technical issues before they affect multiple users
- Measure which educational resources actually help people succeed
- Reduce the number of times you see the same notification
For example, if you're halfway through our zero-based budget setup guide, cookies remember your progress. You can close your browser, come back three days later, and pick up exactly where you stopped.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how our site functions—you might lose saved preferences or need to log in more frequently.
Here's how to access cookie settings in popular browsers:
Each browser handles cookies differently, but you'll typically find these options in Settings under Privacy or Security sections. You can usually choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or manage them on a site-by-site basis.
How Long We Keep Data
Different types of tracking data have different retention periods based on their purpose:
Once these periods expire, the data is automatically deleted from our systems. You can also clear cookies manually at any time through your browser settings, which immediately removes them from your device.
Your Rights and Control
You have several options when it comes to how we track your interaction with our site. You can browse in private or incognito mode, which prevents cookies from being stored long-term. You can also use browser extensions that block tracking technologies.
If you're in Australia, privacy legislation gives you additional rights around how your data is collected and used. You can request information about what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of certain types of tracking entirely.
We don't sell your data to third parties. Any information we collect is used solely to improve our educational resources and help you manage your finances more effectively.
Third-Party Services
We use a few trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies when you visit giravonexil.com. These include:
- Analytics platforms that help us understand site usage patterns
- Content delivery networks that make our site load faster
- Video hosting services for our educational tutorials
- Email service providers when you sign up for our newsletter
Each of these services has its own privacy policy. While we carefully select partners who respect user privacy, their practices are governed by their own policies rather than ours.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy periodically as our site evolves or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If changes materially affect how we use cookies, we'll notify you through a banner on our site or via email if you're subscribed.
Continuing to use giravonexil.com after policy updates means you accept the revised terms. We encourage you to check back occasionally, especially if you have concerns about privacy.
