Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2025
At Dumithen, we believe transparency matters. This policy explains how we use tracking technologies on dumithen.pro to improve your experience and help us understand how people interact with our event investment planning services. We're not here to collect data for the sake of it – everything we track serves a real purpose in making your visit more useful.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Think of tracking technologies as small pieces of information stored on your device when you visit our site. Cookies are the most common type – they're essentially tiny text files that remember things like your preferences or whether you're logged in. But we also use similar tools like web beacons and local storage.
These technologies help us recognize you when you return, remember your settings, and understand which parts of our site work well (and which don't). Without them, you'd have to start fresh every time you visited – like walking into a store where nobody remembers you, even if you were just there yesterday.
Types of Tracking We Use
Not all tracking serves the same purpose. Here's how we categorize the different types we employ on dumithen.pro:
Essential
These keep the site functioning. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering what you've added to forms. Without these, core features simply wouldn't work. You can't disable them because they're fundamental to the site's operation – like the foundation of a building.
Functional
These remember your choices and preferences – language settings, display preferences, or which event categories you've shown interest in. They make your experience more personalized without being invasive. If you disable these, the site still works, but it won't remember you.
Analytical
We use these to understand how visitors navigate our site. Which pages do people spend time on? Where do they get confused? This information helps us improve the layout, content, and overall experience. We aggregate this data – we're not watching individual users like some creepy surveillance system.
Marketing
These track your activity to show you relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. For instance, if you've been reading about music festival investments, we might show you related resources. We don't sell this data to third parties – it's strictly for making our communications more relevant to your interests.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Let's be specific about what this means in practice. When you visit dumithen.pro:
- We remember if you've contacted us before, so you don't have to re-enter your information every time
- We keep track of which educational resources you've viewed, so we can suggest related content
- We monitor page load times and error rates to identify technical issues before they affect more visitors
- We track which event investment categories generate the most interest, helping us focus our content development
- We measure how many people who read our guides actually reach out for planning consultations
None of this involves collecting personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through forms or contact methods.
Managing Your Preferences
You're in control. Most browsers let you manage tracking technologies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or get prompted every time a site wants to set one. Keep in mind that blocking everything might break some functionality.

Data Retention: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their purpose. Analytical data is aggregated and anonymized within 90 days. Marketing cookies are reviewed and refreshed based on your continued engagement with our content.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that may set their own tracking technologies. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site performance and content delivery networks that speed up page loads for visitors across Canada. Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which we've vetted to ensure they meet reasonable standards.
We don't give these third parties carte blanche access to your data. The information they collect is limited to what's necessary for their specific function – whether that's measuring page views or optimizing content delivery.
Your Rights and Control
Beyond browser settings, you have additional options. You can request to see what data we've collected about you, ask us to delete it, or opt out of marketing tracking while keeping functional features intact. We respect these requests and process them within a reasonable timeframe.
If you're using mobile devices, check your iOS or Android settings for additional privacy controls. Both operating systems now offer tracking limitation features that work across apps and websites.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. Our services expand. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and notify regular users through our site. Major changes might prompt a more direct notification. We're not in the habit of making frequent revisions – this policy represents our current approach, and we don't change it without good reason.
