Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At nethzeworks, we believe in complete transparency about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on nethzeworks.com. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. They're incredibly common across the internet – in fact, most websites you visit daily use them in some form.
These files contain information that gets sent back to the website each time you return. This might sound complex, but it's actually quite straightforward. When you log into your account on nethzeworks.com, for example, a cookie helps us remember that you're logged in as you navigate between different pages.
Cookies can't harm your computer or access your personal files. They're purely informational and serve to enhance your browsing experience by making websites work more efficiently and personally for you.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for nethzeworks.com to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, our website simply wouldn't work as intended.
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and choices. They might remember your language settings, login credentials, or customized dashboard layouts, making your visits more personalized and efficient.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our website. They help us identify which pages are most popular, how users navigate through our site, and where we can make improvements to serve you better.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies help us deliver relevant content and advertisements based on your interests and browsing behavior. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and limit how many times you see the same ad.
How We Use Cookies
Our approach to using cookies centers around improving your experience while respecting your privacy. Here's how we put them to work:
- Account Management: Keeping you logged in as you move through different sections of nethzeworks.com, so you don't have to re-enter your credentials constantly
- Preference Storage: Remembering your dashboard customizations, preferred currency displays, and notification settings between visits
- Security Enhancement: Detecting unusual activity patterns and protecting your account from unauthorized access attempts
- Performance Optimization: Loading pages faster by remembering certain elements and reducing unnecessary data transfers
- Content Personalization: Showing you relevant financial tools and resources based on your previous interactions and interests
- Analytics and Improvement: Understanding which features are most valuable to users so we can focus our development efforts effectively
We never use cookies to store sensitive financial information like account numbers, passwords, or transaction details. All critical data is protected through secure, encrypted channels separate from cookie storage.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes, other companies' cookies might be set when you visit nethzeworks.com. This happens when we integrate third-party services to enhance our platform's functionality. For instance, we might use external analytics providers or embed content from other platforms.
These third-party cookies operate under their respective privacy policies, not ours. While we carefully select our partners and review their privacy practices, we recommend checking their individual policies for complete information about their data handling procedures.
Common third-party services we work with include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and customer support platforms. Each serves a specific purpose in making nethzeworks.com more reliable and user-friendly.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify these settings according to your preferences.
Browser Settings: Every major browser allows you to view, manage, and delete cookies. You can typically find these options in your browser's privacy or security settings. You can choose to block all cookies, allow only certain types, or get notified before cookies are set.
Selective Management: Many browsers let you manage cookies on a site-by-site basis. This means you could allow cookies from nethzeworks.com while blocking them from other websites, giving you granular control over your privacy.
Regular Cleanup: Consider periodically clearing your cookies if you prefer a fresh start. Just remember that this will reset your preferences and you'll need to log back into websites.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent certain features of nethzeworks.com from working properly. You might experience issues with login persistence, preference storage, or page functionality.
Data Retention and Storage
Different types of cookies stay on your device for varying lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a predetermined period or until you manually delete them.
Most of our functional cookies are set to expire after 12 months of inactivity, though some essential security cookies may last longer. Analytics cookies typically have shorter lifespans, often expiring within 30 to 90 days.
We regularly review and update our cookie retention periods to ensure we're only keeping information as long as necessary for legitimate purposes. This helps minimize data storage while maintaining website functionality.
Updates to This Policy
As our services evolve and technology advances, we may need to update this cookie policy. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through our website or via email if you have an account with us.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and protect your privacy. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently revised the policy.
Minor updates, such as clarifications or formatting improvements, may be made without special notification, though the revision date will always reflect the most recent changes.
