Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 February 2025
This policy explains how velantrioxa uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on velantrioxa.com. We're being straight with you about what we track, why we track it, and how you can manage your preferences. Because honestly, your data is yours and you should know what's happening with it.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our site. Think of them as tiny notebooks that help our website remember things about your visit. Some stick around for your entire browsing session. Others hang out longer to remember your preferences for next time.
We also use similar tracking tools like web beacons and pixels. They work alongside cookies to help us understand how people interact with our budgeting tools and resources.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They manage your login sessions, remember your security settings, and make sure our weekly budgeting tools function correctly. Without these, you'd basically need to start fresh every time you clicked something.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices so you don't have to keep telling us the same things. Your preferred currency format, dashboard layout, or notification settings – that sort of thing. They make your experience smoother.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which features people actually use and which ones get ignored. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement. No personal identification happens here – just patterns and trends.
Marketing Cookies
These track your visit across our site to help us show you relevant content and understand which marketing efforts are worth continuing. They also prevent you from seeing the same message repeatedly, which probably saves your sanity.
Specific Examples of What We Track
- Budget categories you create and modify most frequently
- Times when you typically access your weekly planning tools
- Which educational resources you download or bookmark
- Pages where people tend to spend the most time or leave quickly
- Search terms used within our help documentation
- Device types and browser versions for compatibility testing
- Referral sources that brought you to velantrioxa.com
- Feature usage patterns that inform our development priorities
Here's the thing – we don't sell your browsing data to third parties. Never have, never will. The information we collect stays within our team and helps us build better budgeting tools for Australian households managing their weekly finances.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or delete existing ones. Just know that blocking essential cookies will probably break some functionality on our site.
Each browser handles this differently, but here's where to look:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and site data
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage cookies
How Long We Keep This Data
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. That's their whole deal – temporary memory.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Some last a few weeks, others up to two years depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months. Marketing cookies usually last 90 days to keep campaigns relevant.
We regularly review and clear old tracking data that's no longer useful. There's no point hoarding information from 2023 when we're building tools for 2025 and beyond.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies come from external services we use – analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and payment processors. These partners have their own privacy policies that govern their data practices.
We vet these services carefully and only work with providers who meet Australian privacy standards. But you should know that their tracking happens independently of our direct control.
Changes to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. Sometimes we need to update how we handle cookies to keep pace with both.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major modifications that affect how we collect or use data, we'll notify active users directly through their dashboard.
