Cookie Usage Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At orolivexara, we use tracking technologies to improve your experience when using our weekly budgeting platform. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in being straightforward about how we collect and use data. This page breaks down everything you need to know about cookies and similar tracking methods on orolivexara.com.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our budgeting tools.
Think of them as digital bookmarks. When you come back to orolivexara, these files help us recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly. Some cookies stick around for years, while others disappear the moment you close your browser.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us deliver a smoother, more personalized budgeting experience.
1Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, save your budget data, or navigate between different sections of your account. We can't really turn these off because they're fundamental to how orolivexara operates.
What they do:
- Maintain your login session while you work on your budget
- Remember items in your financial planning cart
- Keep your security preferences active
- Enable basic site functionality and navigation
2Functional Cookies
These make life easier. They remember your language choice, your preferred currency display, and whether you like the dark mode interface. Blocking these won't break the site, but it might make things less convenient.
What they do:
- Store your display preferences and interface settings
- Remember your weekly budget categories
- Keep track of your dashboard layout choices
- Save your notification preferences
3Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our budgeting tools. They tell us which features get used most, where people tend to get stuck, and what we should improve. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
What they do:
- Track which budgeting features are most helpful
- Measure how long people spend on different sections
- Identify technical issues or error patterns
- Help us understand user behavior patterns
4Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to show you relevant content about orolivexara. They help us understand which of our educational materials resonate with you and measure how effective our outreach efforts are.
What they do:
- Show you information about features you might find useful
- Prevent you from seeing the same message repeatedly
- Measure the effectiveness of our educational campaigns
- Help us understand which content formats work best
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies you want to allow. Most browsers let you manage these settings directly. Here's how to do it in the most common browsers:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, allow only certain sites, or clear existing cookies here.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with custom settings for different cookie types.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default but you can adjust these settings.
Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Edge gives you three levels of tracking prevention to choose from.
Data Retention Periods
Session Cookies
These expire the moment you close your browser. They're temporary by nature and help us maintain your session while you're actively using orolivexara.
Persistent Cookies (1-24 months)
These stick around for a set period. They remember your login details and preferences so you don't have to reset everything each visit. Most of ours last between one month and two years.
Analytics Data (26 months)
We keep aggregated usage data for just over two years. This helps us spot long-term trends and make informed decisions about feature development.
Marketing Data (12 months)
Marketing cookies typically last one year. After that, they're automatically deleted and any tracking stops unless you interact with our content again.
Third-Party Services
Sometimes we work with external services that place their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video or use analytics tools, those providers might set cookies on our behalf.
We carefully select partners who respect privacy, but they operate under their own policies. If you want details about how they handle data, check their individual privacy statements.
Common third-party services we use include cloud analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and educational video hosting. Each has its own approach to data collection and retention.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it when our practices change or when regulations require it. The date at the top tells you when we last made changes.
If we make significant updates, we'll notify you through email or with a prominent notice on orolivexara.com. We won't reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit consent.
It's worth checking back occasionally. Technology evolves, and so do the ways we use it to improve your budgeting experience.
