What Are Cookies Anyway?

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as little notes that help websites remember who you are and what you were doing. Some expire when you close your browser, others stick around longer.

We also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. They all serve the same basic purpose—helping our site work better and giving you a smoother experience when managing your expenses.

Types of Tracking We Use

Not all cookies do the same thing. Here's how we break them down on our platform:

How We Actually Use This Data

Keeping You Logged In

When you sign in to manage your expenses, we need to remember that you're authenticated. Otherwise, you'd be typing your password on every single page. Session cookies handle this—they verify who you are as you move through the platform.

Remembering Your Setup

If you've spent time customizing how you categorize expenses or setting up your dashboard view, we store those preferences. Next time you visit, everything's already configured the way you like it. That's functional cookies doing their job.

Understanding Usage Patterns

We track things like which expense categories get used most, where people spend time on the site, and which features cause confusion. This isn't about watching individuals—it's about spotting trends that help us improve the platform for everyone using it.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers let you control cookies pretty easily. Here's what you can do:

The exact steps depend on which browser you're using. Check your browser's help section—most have detailed guides on cookie management. Just know that blocking essential cookies will probably mess with core features like logging in or saving your expense data.

Third-Party Services

We use some external services that set their own cookies. For analytics, we work with tools that help us understand site performance. These providers have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.

When you're on celvorantixo.com, you might encounter cookies from these third-party services. We try to work only with reputable providers, but you should know they're separate from our own tracking.

How Long Data Sticks Around

We don't keep cookie data forever. Once it's served its purpose or expired, it gets cleared out. You can also manually delete cookies through your browser whenever you want a fresh start.

Your Control and Rights

You're in charge here. Beyond browser settings, you have the right to know what data we've collected and request that we delete it. If you're concerned about how we're tracking your activity, reach out and we'll walk you through what information we have.

For Australian users specifically, the Privacy Act 1988 gives you certain protections regarding personal information. While cookies themselves often don't contain personal data, the information they help collect might. We respect those legal boundaries and your rights under that framework.

Changes to This Policy

Technology changes. Our practices might shift. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and let you know about significant modifications. We're not going to sneak in major changes without notice.

Check back occasionally if you want to stay current on how we're handling cookies and tracking. We aim to keep this document accurate and reflective of our actual practices.
