Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At plevianore, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use data when you visit plevianore.com. This policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We use these technologies to make our finance control platform work properly and to understand how people interact with our services. Some are essential for basic functionality, while others help us improve your experience over time.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember things about your visit—like your login status or which pages you looked at.
They come in different types. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies stick around for a set period. First-party cookies come directly from us, and third-party cookies come from other services we work with (like analytics providers).
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These serve similar purposes—helping us understand how our platform gets used and making sure everything works smoothly for you.
The Types We Use on plevianore
Essential Cookies Required
These keep the platform running. Without them, basic functions wouldn't work. They handle things like security, authentication, and keeping your session active while you navigate between pages.
- Maintaining your logged-in state as you move around
- Remembering items in your comparison basket
- Security features that protect your account
- Load balancing across our servers
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your choices and preferences. They're what allow us to customize your experience based on how you like to use plevianore—like your preferred dashboard layout or notification settings.
- Your language and region preferences
- Display settings you've customized
- Whether you've seen certain help tooltips
- Your preferred currency display format
Analytics Cookies Optional
We use these to understand how people interact with our platform. They tell us which features get used most, where people get stuck, and how we can make things better. The data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Which pages and features get visited most
- How long people typically spend on different sections
- Where users encounter problems or errors
- General usage patterns that help us prioritize improvements
Marketing Cookies Optional
These help us show you relevant information about plevianore features and updates. They track whether you've seen certain messages and help us understand which communications are actually useful to our users.
- Showing you relevant feature announcements
- Preventing you from seeing the same message repeatedly
- Understanding which educational content helps users most
- Measuring engagement with our communications
How This Improves Your Experience
Real Examples From Our Platform
Personalized Dashboard Views
When you rearrange widgets on your finance dashboard, cookies remember that layout. Next time you log in, everything's exactly where you left it—you don't have to reconfigure your workspace every session.
Faster Page Loading
Some cookies cache elements of our interface, which means pages load quicker on repeat visits. Instead of downloading the same assets every time, your browser pulls them from local storage.
Better Feature Development
Analytics data shows us which tools get used heavily and which ones barely get touched. This directly influences what we build next and what needs redesigning. For instance, we noticed in late 2024 that many users struggled with our expense categorization feature, so we rebuilt it for early 2025.
Relevant Help Content
If you've been spending time in the budgeting section, we might surface educational content about budget management rather than generic tips. The goal is to show you information that's actually relevant to what you're working on.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser gives you control over cookies. Here's how you can adjust settings in the most common browsers:
Chrome
Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will break some website functionality.
Firefox
Navigate to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with different levels—Standard, Strict, or Custom. The Strict setting blocks most trackers but might affect some site features.
Safari
Open Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default and offers Intelligent Tracking Prevention. You can view and remove data stored by individual websites here.
Edge
Head to Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data. Edge provides tracking prevention with three levels: Basic, Balanced, and Strict. Balanced mode works well for most people without breaking sites.
Data Retention and Storage
Session Cookies
These are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They're temporary by nature and handle things like keeping you logged in during a single visit to plevianore.
Persistent Cookies
These stick around for a predetermined period—usually between a few days and two years, depending on their purpose. Preference cookies might last longer, while some analytics cookies expire after 90 days.
What We Do With This Data
The information collected through cookies stays within our systems and with trusted service providers who help us run the platform. We don't sell cookie data to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to improving plevianore's finance control services.
Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized before we analyze it. We're looking at patterns and trends, not tracking individual users around the internet. Our goal is to understand collective behavior that helps us build better features.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do privacy practices. We update this policy periodically to reflect how we're actually using cookies and to stay current with privacy regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know through a notification on the platform.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently revised the policy. If you're a regular plevianore user, it's worth checking back occasionally to see what's changed. We try to make updates in January and July each year, though we'll update sooner if needed.
