This Cookie Policy explains how and why Investozora uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit https://investozora.com. We believe your privacy and trust are essential, which is why this document clearly outlines the purpose of each type of cookie we use, how they interact with advertising systems, and the choices you can make to manage them. Our goal is to provide transparent and responsible data practices while maintaining a secure and high-quality browsing experience.
Understanding Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function correctly, remember your preferences, measure performance, and support advertising technologies used by our trusted partners. In addition to cookies, we may use related technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. These tools help us understand site usage, reduce security risks, prevent fraud, and deliver relevant advertising, all while complying with regulatory requirements.
Cookies can store information such as browser type, device type, time spent on site, pages visited, language settings, general geographic data, and interactions with content or advertisements. We do not use cookies to store sensitive personal information such as passwords or financial records.
Why Investozora Uses Cookies
We use cookies for several important reasons that collectively improve your experience and allow us to operate responsibly as a publisher. These reasons include ensuring the site works reliably, measuring performance, maintaining security, improving editorial quality, and supporting our advertising relationships with authorized partners who help keep our content free for readers.
We use cookies to load pages efficiently, maintain website stability, and ensure compatibility across different devices. Cookies allow us to understand reading behavior, such as which topics are helpful, how long readers stay on a page, and how they navigate the site. This information is used to improve article quality and enhance site layout.
Cookies also support advertising systems that enable us to serve safe, relevant, and compliant ads. These systems rely on signals to limit repetitive ads, measure ad performance, and reduce fraudulent activity, which protects both publishers and advertisers. Some advertising partners may also use cookies to determine whether an ad has been viewed, interacted with, or delivered correctly.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the essential operation of our website. Without them, the site may not function securely or correctly. They support tasks such as page navigation, access to secure areas, fraud prevention, and load balancing. These cookies do not store personal information and cannot be disabled through our consent tools because they are required for service delivery.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use Investozora by collecting aggregated, anonymous information. They assist with measuring page views, engagement rates, reader patterns, scroll depth, load time, and user interaction. This allows us to make editorial improvements, identify issues, and optimize the readability and structure of our content. These cookies do not identify individual users and are used solely for improving site performance.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features such as remembering your reading preferences, preferred language, or device type. These cookies are designed to provide a more consistent browsing experience and help personalize non-advertising elements of the site. They do not track browsing behavior across other websites and are used only to improve your experience on Investozora.
Advertising and Personalization Cookies
These cookies are used by our verified advertising partners such as Google AdSense, Google AdX, Clickio, and other approved SSPs. Advertising cookies support the delivery of relevant, high-quality ads and enable important functions including frequency capping, ad measurement, fraud detection, viewability tracking, and programmatic bidding. Some advertising partners may use real-time bidding technology to match ads to general interest categories or contextual signals. Advertising cookies may be used to deliver personalized ads depending on your consent choices.
We do not work with unauthorized networks, and all advertising partners must comply with applicable privacy laws and platform requirements.
Third-Party Cookies and Authorized Partners
Investozora works only with reputable partners and advertising platforms that follow strict legal, technical, and safety standards. These third-party providers may set their own cookies to support advertising, analytics, or website functionality. Examples of data these partners may process include browser type, device information, approximate location, IP address (which may be anonymized or shortened), and interactions with ads or articles.
All partners must meet compliance requirements such as GDPR, CPRA, IAB TCF, and Google’s publisher policies. We regularly review our partnerships to ensure that data is handled responsibly. The full list of active advertising partners is publicly available in our ads.txt file at https://investozora.com/ads.txt.
How You Can Control Cookies
You are in full control of your cookie preferences. When you visit Investozora for the first time, you will see a consent banner that gives you the option to accept, reject, or customize cookie categories. This consent tool is powered by a certified Consent Management Platform that meets Google and IAB requirements. You may change your preferences at any time by selecting the cookie settings link usually found in the footer of the website.
If you prefer, you can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings by blocking or deleting them. Every major browser provides specific instructions for clearing or restricting cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality or reduce the accuracy of analytics.
GDPR Compliance for Visitors in the European Union
For visitors from the European Union, cookies that are not strictly necessary are only placed after receiving your explicit consent. We follow all legal bases required under the General Data Protection Regulation including consent, legitimate interest, contractual necessity, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw your consent at any time using our cookie settings tool. No personal data is processed without a lawful basis, and data is stored for no longer than necessary.
CPRA Compliance for California Residents
Residents of California have specific rights under the California Privacy Rights Act. These include the right to know what data is collected, the right to request deletion, the right to opt out of sharing or selling personal information, and the right to limit the use of sensitive information. Some advertising cookies may be considered sharing under the CPRA. You may opt out of sharing by visiting our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page located at https://investozora.com/do-not-sell-share-my-personal-information.
We honor Global Privacy Control signals where supported and ensure our advertising partners follow CPRA guidelines.
How Long Cookies Are Stored
Cookies may be stored for different periods depending on their purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a defined duration ranging from several days to one year unless manually deleted. Advertising cookies may remain longer to support frequency capping and fraud detection. We retain data only for as long as necessary to fulfill our publishing and operational requirements.
Data Security and Cookie Safety
Investozora is committed to maintaining a secure environment for users and partners. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections, secure hosting infrastructure, firewalls, and continuous monitoring. Access to data is limited to authorized personnel and systems that require it. We work exclusively with advertising partners who comply with strict data-processing requirements, and we review our technology regularly to maintain high levels of safety, accuracy, and integrity.
