Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer.

They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most cookies expire after a certain time, while others stick around until you manually delete them. Some come directly from our site (first-party cookies), and others come from third-party services we use (like analytics tools).

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work similarly but have different technical implementations. The end goal? Making your experience on velorastin.org smoother and more personalized.

When you explore our scenario modeling tools, cookies help us remember your project settings and saved scenarios. If you're comparing different financial models, we'll keep track of which ones you're working with so you don't lose progress.

We also use them to understand usage patterns. For example, if most users struggle with a particular feature, analytics cookies help us identify that issue. We can then redesign that section to work better.

Some cookies come from services we integrate with. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and embedded media all set their own cookies when you use our site.

We carefully select these partners, but they operate under their own privacy policies. If you want detailed information about their practices, you'll need to check their respective policy pages directly.

Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last for days, months, or even years depending on their purpose.

We regularly review and clean up outdated tracking data. Analytics information typically gets aggregated after a few months, making individual user data unidentifiable.

We update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and might notify you through email or a site banner.

Checking back periodically helps you stay informed about how we handle tracking technologies. We're not in the business of sneaking things past you.
