What Are Cookies, Actually?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you
visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help sites remember things
about you—like your login status or language preference.
They're not programs and can't run code on your computer. Most
websites use them because they make browsing smoother. Without cookies, you'd need to log
in every time you clicked to a new page. That gets old fast.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies do the same thing. We use several types, each
serving a different purpose on aragomaraagora.com:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. They handle
things like security, load balancing, and remembering what's in your cart as you
browse. You can't turn these off without breaking the site.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—language settings,
region, display preferences. They make your experience more personalized without
tracking your behavior across other sites.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our
site. Which pages get visited most? Where do people spend time? This helps us improve
what we offer.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity to show you relevant
content and ads. If you've declined cookies above, we won't use these for your
visits.
️ How We Actually Use
This Information
Here's what happens behind the scenes. When you visit
aragomaraagora.com, cookies help us provide a tailored financial education experience. If you're
logged in, cookies keep your session active so you don't have to re-authenticate
constantly.
Analytics cookies tell us which learning resources are most
popular. This isn't about spying—it's about understanding whether our business finance
modules are hitting the mark or if we need to rethink our approach. We look at aggregate
data, not individual browsing histories.
Marketing cookies help us show relevant content. If you've
been reading about cash flow management, we might suggest related topics like budgeting
strategies. It's about relevance, not random promotion.
Data Retention and Your Control
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time.
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last months or even
years—but only if you let them.
Typical Cookie Lifespans on Our Site:
- Session cookies: Deleted when you close
your browser
- Preference cookies: Usually 12 months,
so your settings persist
- Analytics cookies: Typically 24 months
for pattern analysis
- Marketing cookies: Can vary from 30
days to 2 years depending on provider
You can delete cookies anytime through your browser settings.
Just know that some site features might not work properly afterward. It's your call.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Every major browser lets you control cookies. The process
varies slightly, but the principle is the same: you decide what gets stored and what
doesn't.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other
site data
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site
Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and
delete cookies
Most browsers also offer "Do Not Track" signals, though not
all websites honor them. We respect these signals where technically feasible.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on aragomaraagora.com come from third parties—services we
use for analytics, content delivery, or advertising. These organizations have their own
privacy policies and cookie practices.
We're selective about who we work with, but we can't control
their policies directly. If you're concerned about third-party tracking, browser
extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin can help block these.
Mobile Devices and Apps
Mobile browsers handle cookies similarly to desktop browsers.
iOS and Android both give you control over tracking through system-level settings. Check
Settings → Privacy on iOS, or Settings → Google → Ads on Android.
If you access aragomaraagora.com through a mobile app in the future,
we'll use similar tracking technologies with the same privacy standards outlined
here.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy as our practices evolve or
regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top
and may notify you through email or a site banner.
Check back occasionally if you want to stay informed. We're
committed to maintaining transparency about how we collect and use data.
