What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. Think of them as bookmarks that help the site remember who you are and what you've done. They don't contain personal information like your name or address, but they do store things like your settings, which pages you've visited, and how long you stayed.

Most websites use them because they make browsing smoother. Without cookies, you'd need to log in every time you clicked a new page, and the site wouldn't remember any of your preferences.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Long Do They Stick Around?

Some cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. We call these session cookies. Others can hang around for months or even years, depending on what they're doing. Here's the breakdown:

Other Tracking Methods We Use

Beyond cookies, there are a few other ways we collect information about how people use our site:

• Web beacons (also called pixel tags) are tiny transparent images embedded in emails or pages that tell us when you've opened something or clicked through
• Local storage lets us save data in your browser that persists even after you clear cookies, which helps with things like saving your budget drafts
• Server logs automatically record technical information like your IP address, browser type, and which pages you accessed
• Device fingerprinting analyzes your browser configuration to recognize repeat visitors without using traditional cookies

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're in control of what tracking you allow. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, though doing so might break parts of the website. Here's how to manage them in different browsers:

Keep in mind that blocking cookies will affect your experience on noravexio.com. You'll need to log in every time you visit, your preferences won't be saved, and some interactive features might not work properly. Essential cookies can't be disabled because they're necessary for basic site functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use several external services that place their own cookies. Our analytics platform tracks how people move through the site. Our video hosting service remembers your playback preferences. Our email system monitors whether you've opened newsletters or clicked links.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy explaining how they handle data. When you use noravexio.com, you're agreeing to let these third parties collect information according to their own policies. If you want to opt out of specific third-party tracking, you'll need to visit their websites and adjust settings there.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this policy periodically as our tracking practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and might notify you through email or a banner on the site. Continuing to use noravexio.com after we post changes means you accept the updated policy.
