Cookie & Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember things about you—like your preferences or what's in your session.

Think of them as digital sticky notes. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around longer to remember settings across visits. We use both types at sonovarela, depending on what we need them to do.

Here's a concrete example. When you're working with budget performance metrics on sonovarela.world, functional cookies remember that you prefer to view data in quarterly segments rather than monthly. Without that cookie, you'd have to change the view every single time you load a report.

Analytics cookies help us notice patterns. Last month, we discovered through analytics that users were abandoning a specific budget comparison tool halfway through. We investigated and found the interface was confusing. We redesigned it based on that insight.

The data we collect never includes personally identifiable information unless you've specifically entered it into a form. We're interested in patterns and usability, not in tracking individuals.

We occasionally work with external services that may set their own cookies. For instance, if we embed an educational video about budget analysis, the video platform might use cookies to remember playback settings.

We're selective about third-party integrations and only work with services that respect user privacy. However, we can't control how external services handle their tracking. Check their privacy policies if you have concerns about specific tools.

Our fall 2025 learning programs won't require any third-party accounts or additional tracking beyond what's described here.

We update this policy when our tracking practices change. If we start using new types of cookies or change how we handle data, we'll revise this page and update the date at the top.

For significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll notify you directly through email or a prominent notice on sonovarela.world. You'll always have the option to adjust your preferences or reject non-essential cookies.
