Website Data Usage Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
We believe in being straight with you about how erionovira.world uses tracking technologies. This isn't legal jargon for the sake of it—it's a genuine explanation of what happens when you visit our site and why certain data helps us make things work better for everyone planning event budgets.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Think of these as small text files that live in your browser. They remember things like whether you're logged in or which currency you prefer for budget calculations. Some stick around for years, others disappear when you close your browser. The technical term is "cookies," but there are also similar technologies like local storage and session tokens that do comparable jobs.
When you visit erionovira.world, these technologies help our platform recognize you between page loads. Without them, you'd need to re-enter your project preferences every single time you clicked to a new section. Not ideal when you're trying to plan a conference budget efficiently.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Operations
These keep the site functional. They remember your login session, maintain your budget worksheet as you navigate between pages, and store your language preference. We can't disable these because erionovira.world simply wouldn't work without them. When you save a draft event budget, that's an essential cookie doing its job.
Functional Enhancements
These remember your personal choices. Did you switch to dark mode last visit? Do you prefer seeing costs in CAD rather than USD? These cookies store those preferences so you don't have to reset them constantly. They make using our budget planning tools smoother, but the site technically functions without them—you'd just lose the personalization.
Performance Analysis
We track which features get used most and where people get stuck in the budget creation process. This helps us understand if our event cost calculator is genuinely useful or just confusing. The data is aggregated—we're not watching individual users, we're looking at patterns across hundreds of budget planners to see what needs improvement.
Marketing Coordination
These track whether you arrived from a specific ad or article about event budget planning. They help us understand which outreach actually brings people who need our tools. If you've opted out of these, you'll still see information about our services elsewhere online—it just won't be as relevant to your specific event planning needs.
Control Your Data Preferences
You can decline all non-essential tracking right now. Essential cookies will remain active because they're required for basic site functionality, but analytics and marketing tracking will stop.
What Each Technology Does
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your login state across erionovira.world pages | Expires when browser closes |
| budget_draft | Stores your in-progress event budget locally | 30 days |
| user_preferences | Remembers display settings and currency choices | 1 year |
| analytics_token | Tracks feature usage patterns anonymously | 2 years |
| campaign_source | Records how you discovered our budget tools | 90 days |
Managing Browser Settings
Every browser lets you control cookies directly. The interface differs, but the principle stays the same—you decide what gets stored. Here's where to look in common browsers:
Chrome
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones, or block everything if you prefer maximum privacy.
Firefox
Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection by default, and you can customize it to strict mode for stronger blocking.
Safari
Navigate to Preferences → Privacy. Safari blocks most third-party cookies automatically, but you can enable "Block all cookies" for complete prevention—though this breaks many websites.
Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Edge inherited Chrome's cookie framework, so the controls work similarly with options for blocking by category.
What Happens When You Block Everything
Full cookie blocking breaks erionovira.world's core functionality. You won't be able to log in, save budget drafts, or maintain preferences between sessions. Some people accept this trade-off for privacy, but it makes budget planning tools essentially unusable. A middle ground—blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones—preserves most functionality while limiting external tracking.
Data Retention Approach
Session cookies disappear immediately when you close your browser. Preference cookies stick around for a year because nobody wants to reset their display choices monthly. Analytics data gets aggregated within 48 hours and the individual cookie identifiers are discarded—we keep the pattern data but disconnect it from any specific user.
Marketing cookies last 90 days, which matches typical event planning cycles. If you visited erionovira.world in March while researching summer conference budgets, that tracking connection expires by June. Budget drafts saved in local storage remain until you manually clear them or 30 days pass without activity.
Third-Party Services
We use external analytics providers who set their own cookies. They operate under their privacy policies, not ours. When you reject tracking through our button above, we signal those services to stop collecting data, but your browser settings ultimately control whether those cookies get stored in the first place.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and we occasionally add new tools that require different tracking approaches. When we update this policy, the revision date at the top changes. Significant modifications get announced through email to active users—we won't silently introduce new tracking categories without notice.
Minor clarifications or technical corrections happen without notification. Adding a new essential cookie for improved security doesn't fundamentally change how we handle data, so that might update without fanfare. Introducing an entirely new analytics platform would warrant direct communication.
