Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on zorypivaleon.com, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and how it helps improve your experience with our cost management services.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or access your files.
Most modern websites need cookies to function properly. Without them, you'd have to log in every time you visit a new page, your shopping cart would empty constantly, and websites couldn't remember your language preferences or settings.
Types of Tracking We Use
We're upfront about what we collect and why. Here's a breakdown of the different categories:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. They handle login sessions, security features, and basic navigation. You can't opt out of these because the site wouldn't function without them.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like language settings, display options, and customized dashboard views. They make your visits more convenient by maintaining your chosen settings.
Analytical Cookies
We track how people use our site to spot problems and improve features. This includes which pages get visited most, where people get stuck, and what tools prove most helpful.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to understand what content interests you. This helps us show relevant educational materials and course recommendations that match your needs.
How We Actually Use This Data
The information we collect serves specific purposes that benefit both you and us. Here's what happens behind the scenes:
- We maintain your login state so you don't have to sign in repeatedly during a single session
- Your dashboard remembers which widgets you've arranged and what data views you prefer
- We track which educational resources get downloaded most to prioritize creating similar content
- Form data you've partially completed can be saved so you don't lose progress if you navigate away
- We measure page load times across different regions to identify performance bottlenecks
- User flow analysis shows us where people abandon processes so we can streamline those experiences

How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose. Here's our retention approach:
Session Cookies
Deleted automatically when you close your browser. These handle temporary states like shopping carts or form progress.
Short-Term Cookies
Last between 24 hours and 30 days. Used for recently viewed items, temporary preferences, and short-duration tracking.
Long-Term Cookies
Persist for 12-24 months. These remember login states, interface customization, and analytical data that helps us spot long-term patterns.
Third-Party Tracking
We work with selected partners who may set their own cookies. This happens primarily with analytics providers who help us understand site performance and user behavior patterns.
Analytics Services
We use industry-standard analytics tools to measure traffic, identify popular content, and spot technical issues affecting user experience.
Content Delivery
CDN providers may set cookies to optimize content delivery speed and reliability across different geographic regions.
Security Services
Fraud prevention and security monitoring services use cookies to identify suspicious activity and protect user accounts.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes and so do our practices. When we modify how we use cookies, we'll update this page with a new date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated through email or dashboard notifications.
We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you've adjusted your privacy settings. The way we handle data might evolve as we add new features or comply with updated regulations.
Questions About Cookies?
If something here doesn't make sense or you want more details about specific tracking practices, we're happy to explain. Our approach is built on transparency because we think you deserve to know what data gets collected and why.
