Understanding how selvarinoz uses cookies and tracking technologies to enhance your experience

At selvarinoz, we believe in complete transparency about how our website collects and uses information. This policy explains our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on selvarinoz.com. We want you to understand exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control these preferences. Your privacy matters to us, and we're committed to giving you the tools to make informed decisions about your online experience.

1 What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember information about your visit. When you return to our site, these cookies allow us to recognise your browser and provide a more personalised experience.

Session cookies temporarily store information during your visit and are deleted when you close your browser
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them
First-party cookies are set directly by selvarinoz.com
Third-party cookies come from other services we use to enhance website functionality

We also use similar tracking technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These work alongside cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our content and services.

2 Types of Tracking We Use

We categorise our tracking technologies based on their purpose and functionality. Each type serves a specific role in delivering and improving our services.

Category Purpose Duration Can Be Disabled
Essential Core website functionality and security Session or up to 1 year No - Required for operation
Functional Remember your preferences and settings Up to 2 years Yes
Analytical Understand website usage and performance Up to 26 months Yes
Marketing Deliver relevant content and measure campaigns Up to 13 months Yes

3 Essential Cookies We Cannot Disable

Some cookies are absolutely necessary for selvarinoz.com to function properly. These essential cookies enable core features like secure login, form submissions, and basic navigation. Without them, you wouldn't be able to use fundamental parts of our website.

Authentication cookies that keep you logged in securely as you move between pages
Security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery and other threats
Session management cookies that maintain your connection to our servers
Load balancing cookies that ensure optimal website performance

Why These Cookies Matter

Essential cookies protect your data and ensure our website works reliably. They're the digital equivalent of basic infrastructure - like having lights and doors that work in a building. We only use the minimum necessary for core functionality.

4 How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow optional tracking, we can provide a much more tailored and useful experience. Here's how different types of tracking actually benefit you as a visitor:

Functional cookies remember your language preference, timezone, and interface customisations so you don't need to reset them each visit
Analytical tracking helps us identify which content is most valuable and which areas of the site need improvement
Performance monitoring allows us to detect and fix slow-loading pages or technical issues quickly
Marketing pixels ensure you see relevant content rather than generic advertisements

For instance, our analytics show us that visitors spending time on our business diversification resources often return to read related articles. This insight helps us recommend similar content that you might find valuable, rather than showing irrelevant information.

5 Data Retention and Your Control Options

We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements:

Data Type Retention Period Reason
Website analytics 26 months Industry standard for trend analysis
Marketing data 13 months Campaign effectiveness measurement
Functional preferences 2 years Remember your settings between visits
Security logs 90 days Fraud prevention and investigation

You have several options for controlling how we track your visits. Most people find the default settings work well, but we want you to have choice over your privacy level.

6 Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You can control cookie and tracking preferences through several methods. Each browser handles this slightly differently, but the core options remain consistent.

Browser Settings: All major browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Look for "Privacy" or "Security" settings in your browser preferences.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. We recommend allowing essential cookies while customising preferences for analytical and marketing tracking based on your comfort level.
