How We Use Cookies
Last updated: January 2025
When you visit belvinorox.world, we use small data files to make your experience smoother and more personal. This page explains what those files do, why we use them, and how you can control what gets stored on your device.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as little notes your browser keeps to remember things about your visit. Maybe you adjusted your font size, or you were halfway through reading an article about emergency funds. These files help the site pick up where you left off.
They're just text files. No programs run from them, and they can't look at other files on your computer. Each one has an expiration date — some disappear when you close your browser, others stick around for months.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. They remember if you're logged in, handle security checks, and make sure forms don't break halfway through. Without these, basic features stop functioning.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences. If you choose a specific currency display or text size, functional cookies save that choice so you don't have to set it every single visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people navigate the site. Which budget calculators get used most? Where do visitors get stuck? This helps us improve content and fix confusing sections.
Marketing Cookies
These track visits across different sites to show relevant content. If you've been reading about retirement planning, you might see related webinar announcements. They help us reach people interested in financial education.
What We Track Specifically
- Pages you visit and how long you spend reading specific articles
- Which tools you use (budget calculators, expense trackers, savings planners)
- Where you click and what content you engage with most
- Your browser type and device information for compatibility testing
- Rough geographic location (province level) to provide relevant Canadian content
- Whether you've seen certain announcements or educational prompts before
About Essential Cookies
Some cookies can't be turned off because they're necessary for the site to work. These handle your session, remember items in your learning queue, and keep your connection secure.
They don't track you across other websites or collect personal information beyond what's needed for basic functionality. These stay active regardless of your preference settings.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you block third-party cookies, delete existing ones, or prevent sites from storing new ones altogether.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some features. You might need to log in more frequently, or the site might forget your preferred settings.
Browser-Specific Instructions
How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. These handle temporary things like keeping you logged in during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around longer — anywhere from a few days to two years. Analytics cookies typically last 24 months, preference cookies last 12 months, and marketing cookies expire after 90 days unless refreshed.
You can delete any of these manually through your browser whenever you want.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from services we use rather than from belvinorox directly. For example, if we embed a video tutorial, that video platform might set its own cookies. Same goes for analytics tools that help us understand site performance.
We only work with services that meet Canadian privacy standards and have clear data policies. But those third parties operate under their own terms, so check their documentation if you want details about their specific practices.
Updates to This Policy
We review this page every few months and update it whenever we change how we use cookies. The date at the top shows the last revision. If we make significant changes, we'll add a notice on the homepage for a couple weeks.
Major updates might include adding new cookie types, changing retention periods, or integrating new analytics tools. Minor updates usually just clarify existing practices or fix outdated browser instructions.
