Last updated: March 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. At greenvarnio, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to enhance how our finance platform serves you.
These technologies work behind the scenes to make your interactions with greenvarnio.com smoother and more personalized. When you visit our site, these tools collect information about your browsing patterns, preferences, and how you interact with our content. This isn't about invading your privacy—it's about creating a better, more relevant experience for you.
Important Note: We're committed to transparency about our data practices. This policy explains exactly what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core features like security, network management, and accessibility. You can't opt out of these as they're required for the site to work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices to personalize your experience. They might remember your language settings, location preferences, or customized dashboard layout.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They help us identify popular content, track user journeys, and improve our services based on real usage patterns.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. They help us show you content that matches your interests.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Enhancing Your Experience
Our tracking technologies work to create a seamless experience on greenvarnio.com. For example, when you log in to your account, cookies remember your authentication status so you don't have to re-enter credentials on every page. They also store your dashboard preferences, ensuring your personalized layout appears each time you visit.
Improving Our Services
We analyze aggregated data from tracking technologies to understand how our platform performs. This helps us identify which financial tools are most popular, where users might be experiencing difficulties, and what new features would be most valuable. For instance, if we notice many users spending time on our budgeting tools, we might develop additional features in that area.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Tracking technologies help us protect your account and our platform from fraudulent activities. They enable us to detect unusual login patterns, identify potential security threats, and ensure your financial information remains secure. These security measures are essential for maintaining trust in our platform.
Data Retention and Storage
Different types of tracking technologies have varying retention periods. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may last for months or years depending on their purpose. Here's how we handle data retention:
- Essential cookies: Retained for the duration of your session or as long as necessary for site functionality
- Functional cookies: Stored for up to 2 years to remember your preferences
- Analytics cookies: Retained for up to 26 months to track long-term usage patterns
- Marketing cookies: Stored for up to 1 year to deliver relevant advertising
We regularly review our data retention practices and delete information that's no longer needed. You can also clear your cookies at any time through your browser settings, though this may affect your experience on our site.
Your Control Options
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Here's how to access these settings in popular browsers:
Opting Out of Marketing Cookies
If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of marketing cookies through various industry tools. The Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative provide opt-out mechanisms for participating companies. Keep in mind that opting out doesn't mean you'll see fewer ads—you'll just see less relevant ones.
Third-Party Tracking
Some tracking technologies on our site are provided by third-party services. These might include analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms. While we carefully select our partners, these third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices that govern their data collection.
We work with reputable partners who share our commitment to data protection, but we encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they handle your information. You can often opt out of third-party tracking through their respective privacy settings or industry opt-out tools.
Updates to This Policy
Technology evolves, and so do our practices. We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tracking technologies, legal requirements, or business practices. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through our website or by email if you have an account with us.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use tracking technologies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the policy was most recently revised.
