How we use tracking technologies at velorivane to enhance your experience

At velorivane, we believe in transparency. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on velorivane.com. We updated this policy in February 2025 to reflect current practices and give you better control over your data.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve your overall experience. Some cookies are essential for the site to work properly. Others help us analyze usage patterns or personalize content based on your interests.

You're always in control. You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time, though this might affect how certain features work.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for velorivane.com to function. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, access secure areas, or use basic features. They don't collect information about you for marketing purposes.

Because they're critical to site operation, essential cookies activate automatically when you visit our site. They typically expire when you close your browser, though some may persist longer to maintain security settings.

Examples of what they do:
  • Keep you logged in as you move through the site
  • Remember items in your shopping cart or saved preferences
  • Enable secure access to member-only areas
  • Maintain your language and region settings

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to personalize your experience. They store preferences like your username, language selection, or the region you're browsing from. This means you don't have to re-enter information every time you visit.

These cookies might also remember accessibility settings you've chosen, like text size or contrast preferences. While not strictly necessary for the site to work, they make your experience much smoother and more personalized.

How they enhance your visit:
  • Save your display preferences and accessibility settings
  • Remember which learning modules you've completed
  • Store your communication preferences
  • Keep track of which pop-ups or notifications you've dismissed

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with velorivane.com. They collect anonymous information about which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what content resonates most. This helps us identify areas for improvement and create better educational resources.

The data we collect is aggregated and anonymized. We can't identify you personally from this information. It simply helps us see patterns across all our visitors so we can make informed decisions about site improvements and content development.

What we learn:
  • Which budget allocation methods are most popular
  • How long people spend on different learning modules
  • Where visitors might be encountering difficulties
  • What devices and browsers people use to access our content

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your activity across velorivane.com to build a profile of your interests. This allows us to show you relevant content and educational opportunities that match your learning goals. They might also be used by third-party advertising networks to deliver targeted ads on other sites.

These cookies are optional. You can opt out through your browser settings or our cookie preference center. If you choose to block them, you'll still see content and ads, but they won't be tailored to your specific interests.

Used for:
  • Showing you relevant course recommendations based on browsing history
  • Preventing you from seeing the same promotional message repeatedly
