Cookie Policy
Effective Date: January 15, 2025
At techenergyintellect.com, we believe in being upfront about how our website works. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content about seasonal budget adjustments and financial planning.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
What We Track and Why
We use different types of cookies to make our website work properly and to improve your experience. Some are absolutely necessary, while others help us understand what content resonates with people interested in financial planning.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, basic functions like page navigation and secure areas wouldn't work. You can't disable these because they're fundamental to the website operating correctly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like language preferences or region settings. They make your experience more personalized but aren't strictly necessary for the site to function.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which articles about budget adjustments get the most attention and how visitors move through our site. This helps us create better content that actually addresses your financial planning questions.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing to show you relevant content about seasonal financial strategies. They help us understand which topics matter most to people managing their budgets throughout the year.
Specific Cookies We Use
Here's a detailed breakdown of the actual cookies you might find when visiting techenergyintellect.com. We've listed what each one does and how long it sticks around.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|

How This Actually Helps You
Beyond the technical explanations, cookies make your experience smoother in practical ways. When you return to our site, we can show you newer articles about seasonal budget planning instead of content you've already explored. If you're researching winter expense management in February, we won't keep suggesting summer savings strategies.
For our education programs starting in autumn 2025, cookies help us understand which topics generate the most interest. This means we can focus our curriculum development on areas that actually matter to people managing seasonal financial changes in Bulgaria's economic environment.
Data Retention Practices
Analytics data gets anonymized after 14 months. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Preference cookies last up to a year but you can clear them anytime through your browser settings.
We don't sell cookie data to third parties. The information helps us improve our educational content about budget adjustments and financial planning strategies relevant to seasonal income fluctuations.
Taking Control: Browser Settings
Every major browser gives you options to manage cookies. The process varies slightly, but the core functionality remains consistent across platforms.
Chrome
Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or only third-party ones. Chrome also lets you see which sites have stored cookies and delete them individually.
Firefox
Navigate to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with different levels. Standard mode blocks most trackers while strict mode is more aggressive.
Safari
Open Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari automatically blocks most third-party cookies. You can remove stored data for specific sites or clear everything at once.
Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Edge provides clear options for blocking cookies while browsing and exceptions for trusted sites.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some website functionality. Essential cookies for site operation usually need to remain enabled, but you have full control over analytics and marketing cookies.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior patterns. This service operates independently and sets its own cookies according to Google's privacy policies. If you want to opt out specifically from Google Analytics across all websites, they offer a browser add-on that blocks their tracking.
Our website doesn't embed social media tracking pixels or advertising networks beyond standard analytics. We've kept third-party cookie usage minimal because we focus on providing educational content rather than aggressive marketing.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we handle cookies or when regulations require it. The effective date at the top shows when the current version took effect. Major changes get announced through our main website notifications.
