What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as little memory aids for websites. When you visit telaivironero, your browser stores small text files that help us recognize you next time. They remember things like your login details, which expense categories you prefer, or how you've customized your dashboard.

But here's the thing — not all cookies are created equal. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to function. Others help us understand how people use telaivironero so we can make it better. And yes, some are about marketing (though we try to keep that reasonable).

The Different Types We Use

Most of the cookies we set expire after your session ends. Some stick around longer — particularly the ones that remember your login or preferences. Those might last a few months.

What Happens With Your Data

When you're categorizing expenses or setting up budgets, cookies help us keep your workflow smooth. They remember which categories you've created, what filters you apply most often, and how you prefer to view your financial data.

Analytics cookies give us insights into patterns. Like, do most Australian small business owners categorize expenses on Monday mornings? Do people struggle with a particular feature? This stuff genuinely helps us build a better product.

We also use pixels and similar tracking on some pages. These work like cookies but live in images or code snippets. They're mostly for analytics — tracking page loads, button clicks, that sort of thing.

Third-Party Tracking

Look, we work with some external services. Google Analytics helps us understand site traffic. If you've clicked through from an ad campaign, there might be tracking pixels from those platforms too.

We're selective about who we partner with. But these companies have their own privacy policies, and technically their cookies aren't under our direct control. Worth keeping in mind.

Payment processors also set cookies when you handle subscription billing. That's standard security practice — they need to verify transactions and prevent fraud.

Browser-Level Controls

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. The exact steps depend on what you're using.

Just know that blocking all cookies might break some features. You might have to log in more frequently or lose your custom settings.

How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer — anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of years, depending on their purpose.

Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized pretty quickly. We're not keeping detailed records of every click you make. The goal is patterns and trends, not surveillance.

If you delete your cookies or use the decline button above, we'll stop collecting new tracking data. Previous analytics get lumped into general statistics without personal identifiers.

Updates to This Policy

We might update this page occasionally. Maybe we start using a new analytics tool. Or we find a better way to explain something.

Any significant changes will show up on our site and in your telaivironero dashboard. We'll put the update date at the top of this page so you know when something's changed.

For day-to-day use, most of this stays pretty consistent. But tech changes, regulations evolve, and we adjust accordingly.
