Cookie & Tracking Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Think of cookies as tiny digital notes that websites leave on your device – they're small text files that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience on lepura-bevuta.sbs. But cookies aren't the only way we gather information about how you use our platform.

We also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags), local storage, and analytics tools. These technologies work together to help us understand which parts of our nutritional optimization platform are most helpful to our users in Lithuania and beyond.

Types of Tracking We Use

How This Benefits You

Here's a practical example: when you visit our learning program section, we remember which modules you've completed. This means you don't have to start over each time you return to the site. We also track which nutritional calculators are used most often, helping us prioritize which tools to improve first.

For users accessing our remote learning tips, tracking helps us understand if people prefer video content or written guides. This information shapes how we develop new educational materials.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences

You have several options for controlling how tracking technologies work on your device. Most people don't realize how much control they actually have over this stuff.

Browser Settings

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. Here's how to access these settings in popular browsers:

What Happens When You Block Cookies

If you choose to block all cookies, some features won't work as expected. You'll need to log in every time you visit, and we won't remember your preferences for things like measurement units or content categories. The site will still function, but it might feel less personalized.

You can also choose a middle ground – allowing functional cookies while blocking analytics ones. This gives you basic functionality while limiting data collection.

Data Retention and Your Rights

We don't keep tracking data forever. Analytics information typically gets aggregated and anonymized after 26 months. This means we might know that "someone from Vilnius viewed our nutrition calculator 50 times in March," but we won't know specifically who that was.

Session cookies (the ones that remember you're logged in) disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer – usually between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their purpose.

Third-Party Tracking

Sometimes we use external services for things like website analytics or content delivery. These services might set their own cookies. We try to choose partners who respect privacy, but you should know that these third parties have their own privacy policies.

We don't share your personal information with advertisers or marketing companies. Our focus remains on providing quality nutritional guidance rather than monetizing user data.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes pretty quickly, and so do privacy laws. We'll update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or when regulations change. Major updates will be posted prominently on our site, though we won't send you an email every time we fix a typo.

We recommend checking back here occasionally, especially if you're particularly privacy-conscious. The last update was made when we launched our current platform structure.

Technical Details for the Curious

For those who want to dig deeper: we use standard HTTP cookies, HTML5 local storage, and server-side session management. Our analytics are primarily first-party, meaning we collect the data directly rather than through external advertising networks.

If you're using privacy-focused browsers or extensions, you might notice that some features work differently. That's normal – we've designed our platform to degrade gracefully when tracking is limited.
