Cookie Usage Policy
We believe in being straightforward about how we track your visit to zelmivario.pro and what control you have over your data.
Updated March 2025Your Cookie Preferences
You can decline all non-essential tracking right now. Essential cookies that keep the site working will remain active, but everything else — analytics, marketing, functional enhancements — will be removed from your browser.
What We're Tracking (And Why)
zelmivario uses tracking technologies to understand how people interact with our financial education content. Some of these are absolutely necessary for the site to function. Others help us improve your experience or understand which topics resonate most with Australian learners.
We're not in the business of selling your data or bombarding you with ads. Our tracking serves one purpose: making financial data interpretation more accessible and useful for people who need it.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate pages, access your account, or use basic features. We can't turn these off — they're non-negotiable.
- Session authentication tokens
- Security and fraud prevention
- Load balancing across servers
- Form submission tracking
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. Things like which currency format you prefer, your saved resources, or your preferred navigation style. They make repeat visits smoother.
- Display preferences and settings
- Saved course progress markers
- Language and regional settings
Analytics Cookies
We track how visitors use the site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people drop off? What content actually helps? This data shapes how we develop new educational materials.
- Page visit patterns and duration
- Popular content identification
- User journey mapping
- Technical performance monitoring
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to build a profile of your interests. They're used to show you relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. You can reject these without affecting site functionality.
- Cross-site behavioral tracking
- Advertisement effectiveness measurement
- Retargeting and remarketing
How Long We Keep This Data
Most tracking cookies expire within 12 months. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Some functional preferences might stick around for up to two years if you want your settings remembered.
Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months. We're not interested in tracking individual behavior long-term — we want patterns and trends that help us improve educational offerings.
Essential cookies remain active only during your session or for 30 days maximum. They're automatically cleared when they expire.
Third-Party Tracking
Some tracking happens through third-party services we use. Google Analytics helps us understand site traffic. Occasionally we'll embed content from YouTube or other platforms that bring their own tracking along for the ride.
We don't control what these third parties do with data they collect. Their practices are governed by their own policies, not ours. If you've rejected non-essential cookies here, we'll minimize third-party tracking wherever possible.

Questions About Our Tracking Practices
If something isn't clear or you want more details about specific tracking methods, we're here to explain. Cookie policies can feel deliberately opaque — ours shouldn't.
This policy gets updated whenever we change our tracking approach or add new services. Major changes will be noted at the top with an updated date. We won't secretly expand tracking without notifying you.
