What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help sites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with content. Think of them as little notes that help us recognize you when you come back.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These work differently from cookies but serve similar purposes. Some store information on your device, while others send data back to our servers to help us understand site performance.
Most modern websites rely on these technologies. Without them, you'd need to log in every time you visited, and we couldn't remember your language preference or keep items in your cart between sessions.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies serve the same purpose. We categorize ours into four main groups based on what they do and why we need them.
How We Actually Use This Information
The data we collect through cookies helps us run ferivonique.com more effectively. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Practical Examples
- When you log into your account, we use a cookie to keep you logged in as you move between pages
- If you're browsing our learning resources, we remember where you left off so you can pick up later
- We track which tools and calculators get used most often to decide what to improve next
- When pages load slowly or errors occur, analytics help us identify and fix technical issues
- We measure which educational content proves most valuable to people at different stages
- Marketing cookies help us show relevant information to people who've expressed interest in specific topics
All of this happens in the background. We're not interested in your personal browsing habits outside of ferivonique.com. The goal is simply to make our platform work better for everyone who uses it.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this might affect how sites function.
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers. Each one has slightly different settings, but they all give you control over what gets stored.

How Long We Keep This Information
Different cookies last for different periods depending on their purpose. Some disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around longer.
Storage Periods
Session Cookies
These vanish when you close your browser. We use them for temporary things like keeping you logged in during your visit.
Persistent Cookies
These stay on your device for a set period, typically ranging from a few weeks to several months, depending on their function.
Analytics Data
We keep aggregated analytics for up to 26 months to identify long-term trends and patterns in how people use the platform.
Marketing Cookies
These typically last between 30 and 90 days, helping us understand which content and campaigns work best over time.
We regularly review what we're storing and clear out anything we no longer need. Data retention isn't about holding onto information forever. It's about keeping what's useful for improving the platform while respecting your privacy.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on ferivonique.com come from third-party services we use to run the platform. These might include analytics providers, content delivery networks, or educational technology partners.
We're selective about which third parties we work with, but each one has its own privacy policy and cookie practices. When you use ferivonique.com, you might be interacting with cookies from these partners as well as our own.
If you have questions about how a specific third party handles data, we can point you toward their policies. But generally, we only work with services that maintain reasonable privacy standards.
