Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
At Aeorilex, we believe in being straightforward about how we collect information through our website. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use on aeorilex.pro, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We're not hiding anything here—just giving you the full picture of what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. They might remember your language preference, keep you logged in, or help us understand which parts of our site people actually use.
Some cookies stick around for years, while others disappear the moment you close your browser. We use both types, depending on what makes sense for the task at hand.
The Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to make the website work properly. Without them, basic features like secure areas and form submissions wouldn't function. You can't really turn these off without breaking the site, so they're always active when you're here.
Functional Tracking
These help us remember your choices so you don't have to keep telling us the same things. Maybe you prefer a certain view or you've filled out part of a form. Functional cookies keep track of that stuff so your experience feels smoother.
Analytics and Performance
We want to know what's working on our site and what isn't. These cookies help us see which pages people visit, how long they stay, and where they came from. All of this gets aggregated—we're not sitting here watching individual people click around. We're looking at patterns to make the site better.
Marketing and Advertising
Sometimes we use cookies to show relevant content or remember if you've seen a particular message. We partner with third-party services occasionally, and they might place their own tracking pixels. We try to keep this minimal and only work with partners who respect privacy standards.
Specific Technologies We Deploy
Duration: Until you close your browser
These keep you logged into secure areas and remember form inputs while you're actively using the site. They vanish when you leave.
Duration: Up to 12 months
We store things like your communication preferences and interface settings so you don't need to reconfigure everything each visit.
Duration: Up to 24 months
We collect data about site usage patterns, traffic sources, and content engagement. This helps us understand what resources people actually find valuable.
Duration: Varies by provider
When we embed content from other services or use external tools, those providers may set their own tracking technologies. We choose partners carefully, but you should check their policies too.
How This Actually Helps You
Look, we're not collecting this data just for fun. Here's what it does for you:
- Makes the site remember your login so you don't have to authenticate every single page
- Keeps your form data if you navigate away and come back
- Shows you content that's relevant to Canadian investors rather than generic international stuff
- Helps us fix broken pages because we can see where people are getting stuck
- Lets us know which educational resources are actually useful so we create more of those
Basically, it makes the whole experience less annoying and more tailored to what people actually need when they're trying to learn about budget investing.
Taking Control of Your Data
You're not locked into accepting everything we track. Here's how to manage your preferences:
Browser-Level Controls
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set up rules for specific sites. Just know that blocking essential cookies will probably break parts of the site.
Chrome and Edge
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies or clear everything from there.
Firefox
Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox has good default protection and gives you granular control.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party tracking by default, which is pretty solid.
Mobile Browsers
Check your mobile browser's privacy settings. Most have similar options to their desktop versions, just tucked into different menu locations.
Opt-Out Tools
You can also use browser extensions that block tracking technologies across multiple sites. Tools like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin give you more comprehensive control if you want to get serious about limiting data collection.
Data Retention Periods
We don't keep tracking data forever. Here's our retention schedule:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Until browser session ends |
| Functional preferences | 12 months |
| Analytics data | 24 months |
| Marketing cookies | 6 months |
After these periods, the data either gets deleted or anonymized to the point where it can't be linked back to any individual user.
Changes to This Policy
We'll update this page if our tracking practices change. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we last revised it. We won't email you about every tiny change, but significant updates will get announced through our usual communication channels.
If you're someone who checks policies regularly, bookmark this page and swing by occasionally. If you're not that person—and honestly, most people aren't—just know that we're not going to suddenly start doing anything sketchy with your data.
