Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At Zelando Wyn, we use tracking technologies to understand how visitors interact with zelandowyn.pro. This helps us create a better experience while respecting your privacy choices.
This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in transparency—you should know exactly what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and understand how you use them.
Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. These work together to provide functionality and insights about site performance.
Most websites use these tools—they're standard practice for delivering modern web experiences. But that doesn't mean you're stuck with them. You always have control.
How These Technologies Work
When you visit zelandowyn.pro, your browser receives a small piece of data. This data gets stored locally and sent back to our servers with each subsequent request.
Some tracking elements expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months, depending on their purpose. Session cookies disappear quickly, while persistent ones help us recognize returning visitors.
Types of Tracking We Use
We categorize our tracking technologies by purpose. Each category serves a different function in how zelandowyn.pro operates.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They handle basic functions like page navigation, form submissions, and security features. Without them, you couldn't access certain parts of the site or complete important actions.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—language preferences, region settings, or customization options. They make your experience smoother by recalling what matters to you.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand site traffic and user behavior. They tell us which pages get visited most, where people spend time, and where they might be getting stuck. This information helps us improve content and navigation.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing across different sites to build a profile of your interests. They help us show relevant educational content and budget investment resources based on what might actually help you.
Specific Tracking on Zelando Wyn
Here's what actually happens on our site. We're not tracking everything—just what helps us understand how to serve Canadian investors better.
Learning Progress
If you're working through our educational program, we remember where you left off and which modules you've completed.
Resource Downloads
When you download guides or worksheets, we track which resources are most valuable to visitors like you.
Contact Form Preferences
We remember your communication preferences so you don't have to re-enter information every time you reach out.
Site Performance
We monitor page load times and technical issues to ensure the site runs smoothly for everyone.
| Cookie Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Essential | Session | Maintains your active session while browsing |
| user_preferences | Functional | 90 days | Remembers your site settings and choices |
| analytics_visitor | Analytical | 2 years | Tracks site usage patterns and visitor behavior |
| content_interest | Marketing | 180 days | Identifies relevant educational content topics |

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Let me give you some real examples of how this works in practice.
Say you're researching TFSA strategies and visit our learning program page. You read through half the content but need to leave. When you come back next week, we remember where you were—you don't have to start over.
Or imagine you're browsing our budget planning resources. Based on what you've looked at, we might suggest related guides on investment allocation. That's the analytical tracking at work, connecting you with content that builds on what you've already explored.
- Personalized content recommendations based on your browsing history
- Faster page loads by caching your preferences locally
- Seamless form completion without re-entering the same information
- Region-specific content tailored to Canadian tax and investment regulations
- Educational pathway tracking that shows your progress through our programs
- Error reporting that helps us fix technical issues you encounter
Third-Party Tracking
We also work with external services that place their own tracking technologies on zelandowyn.pro. These include analytics platforms and educational content providers.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. While we choose partners carefully, we can't control how they handle data once it's in their systems.
Common third-party trackers you might encounter include Google Analytics for traffic analysis and email service providers for newsletter tracking. Each operates under its own terms and conditions.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You're not stuck with our default settings. Here's how to take control.
Your browser gives you several options for managing cookies and tracking. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can track you.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might break certain site features. Functional and analytical cookies are less critical—turning them off mainly affects convenience and our ability to improve the site.
Browser Configuration Steps
Most browsers follow similar patterns for cookie management. Look for privacy or security settings in your browser menu.
You'll typically find options to view all stored cookies, delete specific ones, or set blanket rules about accepting new cookies. Some browsers offer enhanced tracking protection that blocks third-party trackers by default.
Mobile browsers work differently than desktop ones. Check your device settings as well as your browser settings—sometimes both affect how tracking works.
Automatic Deletion: Some of our tracking technologies delete themselves automatically. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others expire after their set duration—30 days, 90 days, or whatever timeframe we've specified.
Manual Control: You can clear cookies manually anytime through your browser settings. This wipes all stored data and resets your experience on zelandowyn.pro.
Data Retention and Storage
We keep tracking data only as long as it serves a purpose. Analytics information gets aggregated and anonymized after a few months. Individual tracking identifiers expire based on the cookie duration listed earlier.
Personal data collected through forms or account creation follows different retention rules—those are covered in our main privacy policy.
When you delete cookies from your browser, you remove the local tracking data immediately. Our servers might retain aggregate analytics for longer, but they can no longer connect that data to you specifically.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals to websites. As of March 2025, there's no universal standard for how sites should respond to these signals.
Currently, zelandowyn.pro doesn't alter its tracking behavior based on Do Not Track requests. You'll need to use browser settings or extensions to block tracking manually.
This might change as industry standards develop. We're watching for consensus on how to honor these preferences properly.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when our tracking practices change. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we made the most recent revisions.
Major changes will be announced on our homepage or through email if you're on our mailing list. Minor clarifications might happen without notice.
Check back occasionally if you want to stay current with our practices. We don't change things often, but tracking technology does evolve.
