How We Use Cookies
We're straightforward about tracking on fivaloneriq.com. Here's what happens when you visit our site and how you can control your data preferences.
Let's be honest — cookies aren't exactly exciting. But they matter if you care about your privacy. This page explains what tracking happens on our venture building platform and gives you actual control over it.
We believe in transparency. You'll find no legal jargon here, just clear information about what data we collect and why. Most importantly, you can opt out of non-essential tracking with one click below.

What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember you between visits. Some are helpful (like keeping you logged in), while others track your behavior across the internet for advertising purposes.
On fivaloneriq.com, we use cookies to improve your experience and understand how people interact with our venture building resources. You get to decide which types you're comfortable with.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential
These keep the site functioning properly. They remember your login status, language preferences, and security settings. We can't turn these off without breaking core features.
Functional
These remember your choices like theme preferences and saved content. They make your experience smoother but aren't technically required for the site to work.
Analytics
We track which pages get visited and how long people stay. This helps us understand what content is actually useful versus what needs improvement. No personal data is sold.
Marketing
These track you across websites to show relevant ads. Honestly, these are the ones most people dislike. They're optional here, and declining won't affect your access to our resources.
Specific Cookies We Deploy
Here's the actual list of what gets stored on your device when you use fivaloneriq.com:
- session_id — Keeps you logged in while browsing (expires after 2 hours of inactivity)
- user_preferences — Remembers your dashboard layout and notification settings (lasts 1 year)
- _ga — Google Analytics tracking for visitor statistics (lasts 2 years)
- _fbp — Facebook pixel for ad performance measurement (lasts 3 months)
- cookieConsent — Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again (lasts 1 year)
About Essential Cookies
Some cookies are required for basic security and site functionality. For example, session_id prevents someone from hijacking your account. These can't be disabled without creating serious security vulnerabilities.
Everything else is optional. Click the button at the top of this page to reject all non-essential tracking. Your choice is saved immediately and applies across all your visits to fivaloneriq.com.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer so you don't have to re-enter preferences every visit.
Analytics data is anonymized after 14 months. Marketing cookies are deleted after 90 days if you don't return to the site. You can clear everything manually through your browser settings anytime.
When you click "Decline All Tracking" above, we immediately stop collecting optional data. Existing cookies are deleted within 24 hours, though you can clear them instantly through your browser if you prefer not to wait.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You have full control beyond just our opt-out button. Every browser lets you block or delete cookies entirely. Here's how to access those settings:
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
- Brave: Settings → Shields → Cookies and other site data
Blocking all cookies might break some website features. Most browsers offer a middle ground where you can block third-party tracking while allowing first-party cookies that make sites work properly.
Third-Party Services
We use external tools that set their own cookies. Google Analytics tracks site usage. If we're running ads, Facebook and LinkedIn pixels might be present. These services have their own privacy policies separate from ours.
When you reject cookies on this page, we signal these services to stop tracking you. However, browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger offer more comprehensive blocking across all websites you visit.
Updates to This Policy
We update this page when we add new tracking tools or change how we handle data. Last revision was January 2025. Major changes get announced through email to active users.
You can always return here to review current practices or adjust your preferences. Your privacy settings remain active even if we update the policy, though we might ask you to review new cookie types if we introduce them.
