Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At zelintharva, we believe in straight talk about how we track your activity on zelintharva.com. This isn't the usual legal runaround—we actually use cookies and similar tech to make your experience better while you're learning about financial decision making. Here's what's happening behind the scenes.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are tiny text files that land on your device when you visit our site. They're basically breadcrumbs that help us remember who you are and what you were doing. Some stick around for years, others vanish when you close your browser.
And it's not just cookies. We also use web beacons (tiny invisible images), local storage, and tracking pixels. They all do similar jobs—keeping track of how you move through our financial education resources.
How We Use These Tools
We're not tracking you for the sake of it. Every piece of data we collect serves a purpose in making zelintharva.com work better for people trying to improve their financial literacy.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. Without them, you can't log in, navigate properly, or access secure areas. They're non-negotiable if you want to use our platform.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—language settings, layout choices, that sort of thing. They save you from having to reset everything each visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which resources get the most attention and where people tend to drop off. It helps us figure out what's working and what needs fixing.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site so we can show you relevant content about financial topics you've shown interest in. No creepy stalking—just smarter content delivery.
Why This Matters For You
When you're exploring financial education options, we want to show you stuff that actually matters to your situation. If you've been reading about investment strategies, we'll surface more advanced content. If you're just starting out with budgeting basics, we won't bombard you with complex derivatives trading material.
Our tracking also helps us spot technical issues. If dozens of people are abandoning a particular learning module, we need to know about it. Maybe the page is loading slowly, or the content isn't clear enough.
Specific Examples
- Remembering where you left off in a financial planning module
- Tracking which calculation tools you use most frequently
- Understanding which educational pathways lead to better outcomes
- Identifying content gaps based on search patterns
- Personalizing resource recommendations based on your browsing history
Taking Control
You're not stuck with our tracking if you don't want it. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Just know that blocking everything might break some site features.
Third-Party Tracking
We work with some external partners who place their own cookies on zelintharva.com. This includes analytics providers and content delivery networks. They have their own privacy policies that govern how they use your data.
We're picky about who we partner with, but we can't control everything they do once they've collected data. If that bothers you, browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can help you block third-party trackers.
How Long We Keep This Stuff
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months. Marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days.
We review our data retention regularly and delete anything we don't need anymore. If you want us to wipe your tracking data immediately, contact us directly.
Changes To This Policy
Technology evolves, and so do our tracking methods. We update this policy when we introduce new tools or change how we use existing ones. Major changes get announced on our homepage, but you should check back here occasionally to stay informed.
If we start collecting significantly different types of data, we'll let you know explicitly rather than just updating this page quietly.
Questions About Our Tracking?
If something here doesn't make sense or you want specifics about what we're tracking on your account, get in touch. We'd rather explain it properly than leave you guessing.
