What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our site. Think of them as digital Post-it notes that help our website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our budget planning features.

They're not programs, can't carry viruses, and won't harm your computer. But they do help us make energeticconnectai.com work better for people planning events in Bulgaria and beyond.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Use This Information

The data we collect through cookies helps us in several practical ways. For instance, when someone in Sofia starts building a corporate event budget but doesn't finish, we can see that pattern and improve the workflow. Or if users from Razlog frequently access venue comparison features, we know to enhance those tools.

Specific Uses Include:

• Remembering your partially completed budget plans so you don't lose work
• Understanding which event types are most commonly planned on our platform
• Identifying confusing features that cause people to abandon their planning
• Testing different layouts to see which helps users complete budgets faster
• Showing relevant educational content based on the event type you're planning

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Every browser gives you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules for specific websites. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using our budget planning tools effectively.

Third-Party Tracking

Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. For example, if we embed a budgeting tutorial video, that service might set its own cookies. We work with:

• Analytics providers to understand site usage patterns
• Customer support tools that help us respond to your questions
• Payment processors for secure transaction handling

Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. We choose partners carefully, but they operate independently from energeticconnectai.com.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Most cookies we set expire within 12 months. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Analytics data gets anonymized after 26 months, and we delete inactive account data after three years.

You Can Request:

• A copy of all data we've collected through cookies associated with your account
• Deletion of your tracking history and cookie preferences
• Details about specific cookies and what information they contain
• Restrictions on certain types of tracking while keeping your account active

Send these requests to contact@energeticconnectai.com and we'll respond within 15 business days. We're based in Razlog, Bulgaria, so we follow EU data protection standards even for users outside Europe.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when we add new features or change how we handle data. The last update was in March 2025 when we revised our analytics approach. If we make significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll send an email to registered users and post a notice on the site.

We recommend checking back every few months, especially if you're a regular user of our budget planning tools.
