Understanding how olynthariven uses tracking technologies

Last updated: February 2025

Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over non-essential cookies used on olynthariven.com. Essential cookies required for site functionality cannot be disabled, but you can reject all tracking and marketing cookies with one click.

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit olynthariven.com. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our budgeting platform, and improve your overall experience. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to collect information about site usage.
Think of cookies as digital bookmarks that help our website remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. When you return to olynthariven, these files allow us to customize your experience based on your past interactions with our departmental budgeting tools and educational resources.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for olynthariven.com to function properly. They enable core features like secure login, form submissions, and basic navigation. Without these cookies, our budgeting platform wouldn't work correctly.

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred dashboard layout, currency settings, and language choices. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across other websites.

Analytical Cookies

We use these to understand how visitors use our site. They help us identify which budgeting features are most popular, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve our educational content.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies track your browsing habits to show you relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They may be set by third-party advertising networks we work with.

Important: Essential Cookies Cannot Be Disabled

Essential cookies are required for olynthariven.com to function and cannot be turned off. These include:

  • Session management cookies for secure login
  • Security tokens to prevent unauthorized access
  • Form data cookies to remember your input during multi-step processes
  • Load balancing cookies to ensure optimal site performance

How We Use Tracking Information

The information we collect through cookies and similar technologies serves several purposes. We analyze user behavior to understand which sections of our budgeting platform are most valuable, identify common user paths through our educational content, and spot areas where people might be struggling with our tools.
For example, if we notice many users abandon their budget setup at a particular step, we can redesign that process to be more intuitive. Or if certain educational articles consistently lead to successful budget completion, we can make those resources more prominent for new users.

Performance Monitoring

We track page load times, error rates, and feature usage to maintain a smooth experience. This technical data helps our development team identify and fix issues before they impact your budgeting work.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to 2 years. We regularly review and delete outdated tracking data to protect your privacy.

Most analytical data is aggregated and anonymized within 30 days, meaning it can't be traced back to individual users. Marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days, though this varies by advertising partner.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Besides using our cookie preference tool above, you can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Each browser handles cookie management differently, but most allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites.

Common Browser Cookie Settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect your experience on olynthariven.com. Some features of our budgeting platform require cookies to function properly, and you may need to re-enter information more frequently if cookies are disabled.

Third-Party Cookies and Partners

olynthariven works with several third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These include analytics providers like Google Analytics, customer support tools, and advertising networks. While we choose our partners carefully, we don't control how they handle their cookies.
Some embedded content, such as videos or social media widgets, may also set cookies. These third-party cookies are governed by their respective privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party services you encounter on our site.
