Cookie & Data Usage Policy

What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At novelithyros, we use various types of tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our budget adjustment platform. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you navigate our site, and provide personalized content that matches your financial planning needs.

Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help us recognize you when you return to novelithyros.com. They're not programs and can't carry viruses, but they do contain information about your browsing patterns. We collect this data to improve our services and make your journey through our financial education resources more seamless.

Tracking Technologies We Employ

Beyond traditional cookies, novelithyros utilizes several other technologies to gather insights about user behavior. Web beacons (also called pixel tags) are tiny invisible images embedded in our emails and web pages. They tell us when you've opened an email or viewed a particular page on our site.

Local storage and session storage work similarly to cookies but can hold more data. We use these to store your budget calculations temporarily, remember your progress through our learning modules, and maintain your preferences during longer sessions on our platform. Unlike cookies, this data isn't automatically sent to our servers with every request.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow our tracking technologies, we can provide a more personalized experience on novelithyros. For example, if you frequently visit our debt management resources, we might highlight new articles about debt consolidation strategies when you return. If you've started our budget planning course but haven't finished, we can show you where you left off.

Data Retention and Your Control Options

Most cookies we set have expiration dates ranging from session-only (deleted when you close your browser) to up to two years for preference settings. Analytics cookies typically last 24 months, while marketing cookies may persist for up to 13 months. You have several options for managing these timeframes and controlling your data.

Remember that blocking certain cookies might affect your experience on our site. For instance, if you disable functional cookies, you'll need to re-enter your budget categories each time you visit. Analytics cookies help us understand which parts of our financial education content are most helpful, so blocking them means we get less feedback about user preferences.
