Cookie Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

At Gryno Hvemo, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit grynohvemo.pro. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're committed to protecting your privacy while providing you with a personalized learning experience.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. They're incredibly common across the internet and serve different purposes depending on how they're configured.

When you visit grynohvemo.pro, your browser might store these files locally. Some disappear when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around for months or even years (persistent cookies). Each has a specific job, from keeping you logged in to remembering your language preference.

Types of Cookies We Use

Not all cookies are created equal. We use several different categories, each serving a distinct purpose on our platform. Here's what you'll encounter when browsing our financial education resources:

Essential Cookies
These are absolutely necessary for the website to work properly. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, access secure areas, or use basic features. We can't turn these off because the site would basically stop functioning. They don't collect information about you for marketing purposes.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences to make your experience more personalized. For example, they'll recall which investment topics you've explored or your preferred reading format. This means you don't have to reset everything each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with grynohvemo.pro. They tell us which pages are most helpful, where people spend time learning, and what content resonates with beginners. All this information is aggregated and anonymous, helping us improve our educational materials.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to help us show you relevant content and offers. They might remember that you viewed our beginner investment resources, allowing us to suggest related educational materials that match your interests. We never share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

How We Use Tracking Technologies

Beyond traditional cookies, we employ a few other tracking methods that help us deliver a better learning experience. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

Local Storage

This browser feature lets us save information directly on your device. We use it to store your progress through our investment courses, bookmark articles you've saved, and remember your dashboard preferences. It's similar to cookies but can hold more information and doesn't expire automatically.

Session Storage

Unlike local storage, this information disappears the moment you close your browser tab. We use it for temporary data like your current quiz answers or the video timestamp where you paused a lesson. It's purely functional and makes your learning session smoother.

Pixel Tags

These are tiny, invisible images embedded in our emails and some web pages. They help us understand whether you opened an educational email we sent or which sections of a page caught your attention. This data guides us in creating content that actually helps you learn about investing.

Real Example: When you start our "Introduction to ETFs" module, functional cookies save your progress. Analytics cookies tell us that most learners pause at the expense ratio section, suggesting we might need to clarify that concept. Marketing cookies note your interest in ETFs, so we can recommend our related "Portfolio Diversification" course.

Specific Cookies on Our Platform

Here's a detailed breakdown of the actual cookies you'll encounter on grynohvemo.pro. We believe in full disclosure about what's happening on your device:

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
gh_session Maintains your login session and keeps you authenticated as you navigate through lessons 24 hours
gh_preferences Stores your interface choices like dark mode, text size, and notification settings 12 months
gh_analytics Tracks page views and learning patterns to help us improve course structure 24 months
gh_progress Records your advancement through courses and completed modules 36 months
gh_consent Remembers your cookie preferences so we don't ask again every visit 12 months

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes cookies come from services we partner with to enhance your learning experience. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them:

  • Video hosting platforms that deliver our investment tutorials and webinar recordings
  • Analytics providers that help us understand user behavior patterns across different demographics
  • Customer support tools that power our live chat feature when you need help
  • Email service providers that manage our educational newsletter subscriptions

We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. However, we can't control their tracking practices once you leave our domain or interact with their embedded features.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're in control. While we believe cookies improve your learning journey, we respect your right to limit or refuse them. Here are your options:

Browser-Level Controls

  1. Open your browser settings (usually found in the menu under Privacy or Security)
  2. Look for the Cookies or Site Data section
  3. Choose to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies
  4. Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals that tell websites not to track you

Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect your experience on grynohvemo.pro. You might have to log in repeatedly, your progress won't save automatically, and personalized recommendations won't work. Essential cookies can't be disabled without breaking core functionality.

Mobile Device Controls

If you're accessing our platform on a smartphone or tablet, you can manage cookies through your device settings. iOS users can find these options under Safari settings, while Android users should check their browser app settings. The exact location varies by device manufacturer and operating system version.

Cookie Retention Periods

We don't keep cookies around forever. Each type has a specific lifespan based on its purpose:

Session Cookies: Deleted immediately when you close your browser

Functional Cookies: Typically last 12 months, then automatically expire

Analytics Cookies: Retained for 24 months to track long-term learning trends

Marketing Cookies: Generally expire after 12 months unless refreshed by another visit

You can always delete cookies manually through your browser settings, regardless of their set expiration date. This gives you immediate control over what information remains on your device.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes, and so do our practices. We might update this cookie policy occasionally to reflect new tracking technologies or changes in Canadian privacy regulations. When we make significant updates, we'll notify you through a banner on grynohvemo.pro or via email if you're a registered user.

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we last modified this policy. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if you're concerned about how we handle your information.
