Understanding how Drywo Fwibu uses tracking technologies to improve your experience
Last Updated: March 2025
At Drywo Fwibu, we believe you should know exactly what happens when you visit our site. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on drywofwibu.info—what they do, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We're committed to transparency. If something here doesn't make sense or you have questions, reach out to us directly at info@drywofwibu.info.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as helpful notes that remind the site who you are and what you were doing.
They can't access other files on your computer or spread viruses. Most cookies expire after a while—some when you close your browser, others stick around longer to remember your preferences for next time.
Besides cookies, we might use similar technologies like web beacons (tiny invisible images) or local storage features that modern browsers offer. These all serve similar purposes—making the site work better for you.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the must-haves. Without them, basic functions like navigating between pages or accessing secure areas wouldn't work.
For example, when you fill out our contact form, essential cookies help keep your session active so your information doesn't disappear halfway through.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—like language preferences or which learning topics you've already explored.
They make your experience smoother by not asking you the same questions every time you visit. You can disable these, but you might find yourself re-entering information more often.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which pages get the most attention? Where do visitors spend their time? What content resonates?
This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. The data is aggregated—we're looking at patterns, not tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across different sites to help us show relevant content about our investing education programs.
If you've been reading about portfolio diversification on our site, you might see related content later. We work with advertising partners who use these cookies to measure campaign effectiveness.
How We Actually Use This Information
Let's get specific about what happens with the data these cookies collect:
- Keeping you logged in if you've created an account with us
- Remembering which courses you've viewed or downloaded materials from
- Understanding which educational topics generate the most interest
- Improving site navigation based on how people actually use it
- Preventing duplicate form submissions that can cause technical headaches
- Measuring whether our email campaigns or ads are reaching the right people
- Identifying technical issues that might be affecting certain browsers or devices
We review this information regularly—usually monthly—to make decisions about content updates, new features, and which educational resources to prioritize.
Third-Party Services
We don't operate in isolation. Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to run things smoothly:
Analytics providers help us understand site traffic patterns. Advertising platforms enable us to reach people interested in investment education. Email service providers track whether our newsletters get opened (so we know if our subject lines are any good).
These partners have their own privacy policies, and while we choose them carefully, we can't control how they operate. We recommend reviewing their policies if you want the complete picture.
How Long Do Cookies Stick Around?
It depends on the type. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser—they're temporary helpers for that specific visit.
Persistent cookies hang around longer, typically between 30 days and 2 years. These remember your preferences for future visits. We set expiration dates based on how long the information stays useful.
You'll find specific duration details in the table below for each cookie type we use.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Keep in mind that refusing all cookies might mean some parts of our site won't work as expected.
Here's where to find cookie settings in popular browsers:
- Chrome Settings
- Firefox Options
- Safari Preferences
- Edge Settings
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools. Search for "Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out" or "Network Advertising Initiative" to find these options.

Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We might add new features or services that require different cookie usage.
When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and notify you through a banner on the site if the changes are significant. For minor updates—like adding a new cookie to the reference table—we'll simply update the page.
We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if it's been a while since your last visit.
