What Actually Happens When You Visit

Here's the reality: our website places small data files on your browser. Some of these stick around for your entire session. Others hang out for months. Each one serves a purpose, though – none of them are there just for the sake of it.

When you log in, we need to remember that you're logged in as you click around. When you adjust your dashboard preferences, we store those choices. If you close your browser and come back next week, we want to show you where you left off rather than making you start from scratch.

The technical term is "cookies," but they're really just tiny bits of text that your browser stores. They can't run programs or carry viruses. They simply sit there holding information until our site needs to reference them.

The Different Types We Use

How Long Information Stays

Session files vanish the moment you close your browser. They're temporary by design. But persistent files can stick around much longer – sometimes up to two years, depending on their purpose.

Authentication files typically last 30 days. Analytics tracking extends to 24 months so we can spot long-term trends. Marketing identifiers usually expire after 90 days. You can delete any of these manually at any point through your browser settings.

We don't keep this data longer than necessary. Once a file has served its purpose or reached its expiration date, it gets cleared from our systems. If you haven't visited in a while, those older files naturally fall away.

What We Actually Learn

The information we gather helps us see patterns. For instance, if everyone struggles to find our portfolio analysis tools, that tells us our navigation needs work. If mobile users consistently leave after viewing one page, we know the mobile experience isn't cutting it.

We track things like:

• Which investment resources get downloaded most frequently
• How long people spend reading specific articles or guides
• Where visitors are located geographically (city level, not your exact address)
• What device and browser combination you're using
• Whether you found us through search or came directly
• Which features of our evaluation tools get the most engagement

None of this connects to your personal identity unless you're logged into your account. Even then, we separate analytical data from personally identifiable information in our systems.

Taking Control of Your Data

You can also use private browsing mode, which automatically rejects most tracking and deletes session data when you close the window. Just know that you'll need to log in every time and your preferences won't save.

For more granular control, browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger let you block specific types of tracking while allowing functional elements through. These tools give you fine-tuned control without breaking websites.

Third-Party Services

We use some external services that place their own tracking files. Our analytics platform helps us understand site usage. Our content delivery network speeds up page loading. These services have their own policies about data collection and retention.

We've vetted these partners to ensure they meet reasonable privacy standards, but they operate independently. If you want to opt out of their tracking specifically, most offer their own opt-out mechanisms separate from browser settings.

We don't sell data to third parties. We don't share your information with advertisers. The only external services that receive any data are the ones directly helping us run and improve klovial.pro.

Updates and Changes

This policy changes occasionally as we add features or adjust how we handle data. When we make significant changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page and notify active users through email.

Minor clarifications or technical updates happen without notification. We recommend checking back every few months if you're particularly interested in tracking these details. The core principles stay consistent – transparency and user control.
