We believe in being upfront about how we track usage on yorlatenqiva.com. This policy walks you through what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
When you visit our site, small data files get stored on your device. Some help the site function properly. Others help us understand how people use the platform so we can make improvements.
What Tracking Technologies Do
Think of these as tiny helpers that remember things between visits. They store preferences, keep you logged in, and track which pages get visited most.
Most websites use similar technology. Without it, you'd need to re-enter information every time you clicked to a new page. That gets old fast.
We use several types:
- Small text files stored by your browser
- Local storage elements that remember settings
- Pixel tags that track page views
- Session identifiers that maintain your login state
1Essential Functions
These keep the site working. They remember your login, maintain your session, and ensure pages load correctly. You can't turn these off without breaking basic functionality. We need them to deliver the budget preparation tools you're here to use.
2Functional Enhancements
These remember your choices—things like preferred currency display or which dashboard view you like. They make repeat visits smoother. If you disable these, the site still works but won't remember your preferences.
3Analytics Data
We track which features get used most and where people get stuck. This helps us prioritize improvements. The data stays anonymous—we see patterns, not individual users. It's how we learned people needed better mobile access to budget templates.
4Marketing Tools
These track whether ads brought you here and which content resonates. They help us spend marketing budget wisely. You can disable these through browser settings without affecting your ability to use our financial planning tools.
How We Use Tracking on yorlatenqiva
Every tracking element serves a specific purpose. Here's what happens behind the scenes:
When you create a budget, we store that session so you don't lose work if you step away. When you adjust your preferred view, we remember it for next time. When you download a template, we note which ones are popular.
We also track error messages. If a feature breaks for multiple users, we know about it quickly. That's saved us more than once when a calculation tool had issues.
Data Storage Duration
Different elements stay active for different periods. Session items expire when you close your browser. Preference storage might last several months. Analytics tokens typically expire after two years.
We review and clear outdated tracking data quarterly. If you haven't visited in over 24 months, your preference data gets wiped automatically.
Real Examples of Tracking Benefits
A few ways this technology actually helps users:
- Budget templates auto-save every few minutes because session tracking maintains your work state
- Currency formatting stays consistent across pages because functional storage remembers your choice
- We added bulk export features after analytics showed 40% of users managed multiple budgets
- Mobile interface improvements came from tracking which screen sizes struggled with certain layouts
- Email notification preferences persist between sessions so you're not constantly reconfiguring alerts
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You control this through browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, delete, or block tracking technologies.
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Blocking all tracking means you'll need to log in every visit and reset preferences each session. The core budget tools still work, but convenience features won't.
Third-Party Tracking Elements
Some tracking comes from services we integrate with. Payment processors, email delivery systems, and analytics platforms each have their own tracking methods.
We vet these services carefully and only work with providers who meet Australian privacy standards. You can usually opt out of third-party tracking through those companies' own settings pages.
For financial analytics specifically, we use aggregated reporting that doesn't expose individual transaction details to external services.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Maintains login session and verifies identity | Session only |
| Preferences | Stores display settings and dashboard configuration | 6 months |
| Usage Analytics | Tracks feature adoption and identifies issues | 24 months |
| Marketing Attribution | Measures campaign effectiveness | 12 months |
Your Rights and Control
Australian privacy law gives you several rights regarding tracking data. You can request a copy of what we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of non-essential tracking entirely.
We'll respond to data requests within 30 days. If you want everything wiped, we'll do that while keeping only what's legally required for financial record-keeping.
You're also free to use the site in a private browsing window. That limits tracking to session-only items that disappear when you close the window.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Laws change. Our tracking approach changes with them.
We review this policy twice yearly and update it whenever we add new tracking methods or change how existing ones work. Material changes get announced through email to active users.
The date at the top shows when we last made updates. Check back occasionally if you're concerned about tracking practices.
