Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on lesovarya.com
We want to be completely transparent about how lesovarya.com uses tracking technologies. This policy explains what these tools are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last updated: March 2025
What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit lesovarya.com, small text files get stored on your device. Most people call them "biscuits" in casual conversation, but they're technically tracking files that help websites remember information about your visit.
Think of them as digital bookmarks. They remember things like your language preference or where you left off in our budget planning tools. Without them, you'd need to re-enter information every time you clicked to a new page.
We use several types of tracking technologies:
- Session files that expire when you close your browser
- Persistent files that stay on your device for a set period
- First-party trackers set directly by lesovarya.com
- Third-party trackers from services we work with
How They Work
When you land on our site, your browser checks if any tracking files exist. If they do, your browser sends that information back to us so we can personalise your experience. It's a conversation between your device and our servers.
Why We Need Them
Some are absolutely necessary for basic functionality. Others help us understand what content is useful so we can create better resources for people trying to improve their financial situation.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all tracking files serve the same purpose. We've broken them down into four main categories based on what they do.
Strictly Necessary
These keep the website functioning. They handle security, remember your login status, and ensure pages load properly. You can't turn these off without breaking the site.
Preference Trackers
These remember choices you make like currency display or notification settings. They make your experience more convenient but aren't required for basic functionality.
Performance Monitoring
We use these to see which resources get used most and where people struggle. This helps us improve our budget planning tools and educational content over time.
Advertising Related
These track your journey across different sites to show relevant financial planning content. They help us reach people who might benefit from our services.
Specific Uses on lesovarya
Session Management
When you start using our budget calculator or savings planner, session trackers keep your data intact as you move between pages. Without them, you'd lose your progress constantly.
Authentication and Security
Security trackers verify you're who you say you are and protect against unauthorised access. They're particularly important if you're using any of our financial planning tools that store personal information.
Content Preferences
We remember if you prefer seeing amounts in pounds versus other currencies, or if you've dismissed certain notifications. These choices get stored so you don't have to reset them every visit.
Analytics and Improvement
We track things like which budget templates get downloaded most often, how long people spend on different resources, and where they tend to get stuck. This isn't about watching individual users — it's about spotting patterns that help us create better tools.
What We Don't Do
We don't sell your tracking data to other companies. We don't use it to make decisions about loan applications or creditworthiness. And we don't combine it with sensitive financial information without clear consent.
The data we collect through tracking stays focused on improving your experience with our educational resources and planning tools.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You have complete control over which tracking technologies you accept. Here's how to adjust settings in common browsers.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → View permissions and data stored across sites
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Custom settings
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove or block specific sites
Edge
Settings → View advanced settings → Privacy settings → Select blocking level
Opera
Settings → Privacy & Security → Site Settings → View all site data and permissions
Brave
Settings → Shields → Control fingerprinting and tracker blocking per site
What Happens If You Block Them
Blocking essential trackers will prevent you from accessing certain features. You might not be able to save your progress in planning tools or stay logged into your account.
Blocking functional and analytical trackers won't break the site, but you'll need to reset your preferences each visit. And we won't be able to improve our resources as effectively because we'll have less data about what's working.
Marketing trackers are entirely optional. Blocking them won't affect your ability to use lesovarya.com at all — you just might see less relevant content from us when you're browsing elsewhere.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking files come from services we work with rather than directly from lesovarya.com. These might include analytics platforms, payment processors, or content delivery networks.
When you interact with embedded content like webinar videos or downloadable resources, those third parties may set their own tracking files. We only work with providers who meet our privacy standards, but their specific policies govern how they use the data they collect.
Data Retention Periods
Session trackers delete themselves when you close your browser. Functional trackers typically last between 30 days and one year, depending on what they're remembering.
Analytical trackers generally expire after two years unless renewed by another visit. Marketing trackers vary but usually last between three months and two years.
You can clear any of these manually through your browser settings at any time.
Mobile Applications
If you use our mobile app, similar tracking technologies apply. Mobile apps use device identifiers and local storage rather than traditional browser files, but the principles remain the same.
You can manage these through your device's privacy settings. On iOS, check Settings → Privacy → Tracking. On Android, look under Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it when we change how we use tracking technologies. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a prominent notice on lesovarya.com.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy. Continuing to use our site after updates means you accept the changes.
