How We Use Tracking Technologies
Last updated: February 2025
We use various tracking methods on fenvialento.com to make your experience smoother and more relevant. This page explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. We believe in being upfront about data practices so you can make informed decisions.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Think of these as small pieces of data that help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. When you visit fenvialento.com, we might store information about your session, preferences, or interactions. This isn't anything sinister – it's the same technology that lets shopping carts remember your items or keeps you logged into websites.
These technologies come in different forms. Some live in your browser temporarily and disappear when you close the tab. Others stick around longer to remember your settings for next time. We also use tracking pixels and scripts that help us understand how people move through our site.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Technologies
These are the basics that make fenvialento.com actually work. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access secure areas. They handle things like session management and security verification. You can't really turn these off without breaking the site, but they don't track you across the web or collect personal information beyond what's needed for basic functionality.
Functional Tracking
This category remembers choices you make so you don't have to set them every single visit. Your language preference, display settings, or form inputs might be saved here. It's convenience-focused rather than data collection. If you've ever appreciated not having to re-enter the same information repeatedly, you've benefited from functional tracking.
Analytical Technologies
Here's where we learn what's working and what isn't. These tools show us which pages get the most attention, where people tend to drop off, and how long visitors spend on different sections. The data gets aggregated and anonymised – we're looking at patterns, not individual behaviour. This helps us improve the site based on actual usage rather than guesswork.
Marketing and Preference Tracking
These help us show you relevant content and understand which marketing efforts actually resonate with people. They might track whether you came from a specific campaign or which resources you've already viewed. We use this to avoid showing you the same information repeatedly and to tailor content to your interests. You have more control over these than the essential ones.
Specific Examples of What We Track
- Session identifiers that keep you logged in as you move through different pages
- Your display preferences like text size or layout choices
- Which educational resources you've accessed or downloaded
- General navigation patterns that show us popular content areas
- Form field data to prevent you from losing information if something goes wrong
- Time spent on different pages to gauge content effectiveness
- Referral sources so we know how people find us
- Device type and browser information for compatibility purposes
Taking Control of Your Tracking Preferences
You're not stuck with our default settings. Every major browser gives you tools to manage how websites track you. The exact steps vary, but the principle is the same – you decide what's acceptable and what isn't.
Keep in mind that blocking all tracking technologies might affect how well fenvialento.com works for you. Essential functions need at least some basic tracking to operate properly. But you can absolutely restrict the marketing and analytical stuff if that makes you more comfortable.
How Long We Keep This Information
Session-Based Tracking
Some technologies expire the moment you close your browser. These temporary trackers handle active sessions and don't persist beyond your current visit.
Persistent Tracking
Other technologies stick around for weeks or months – sometimes up to a year. These remember your preferences between visits or help us understand long-term usage patterns. Each type has a specific expiration date built in, and you can clear them manually anytime through your browser settings.
If you clear all your browser data, you'll lose your saved preferences on fenvialento.com. You'll also be logged out of any active sessions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing – some people prefer starting fresh regularly – just be aware of the trade-offs.
Third-Party Technologies
Not every tracking technology on fenvialento.com comes directly from us. We use some third-party services for analytics and functionality that place their own trackers. These operate under their respective privacy policies, which we can't control but have vetted for basic standards.
Common examples include analytics platforms that help us understand site performance and content delivery networks that make pages load faster. These services might collect data independently, though we work with providers who respect user privacy and offer opt-out options.
Changes to Our Tracking Practices
Technology evolves, and so do our methods. When we make significant changes to how we track site usage, we'll update this page and note the revision date at the top. We won't make major changes without considering the privacy implications first.
If new regulations affect how we handle tracking technologies – and there are several coming down the pipeline in 2025 – we'll adapt our practices accordingly and keep this information current.
