Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2025

We use tracking technologies on valenorixum.com to make your browsing experience better and to understand how people interact with our budgeting tools. This policy explains what we track, why we track it, and how you can manage your preferences.

What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our services, and improve your overall experience.

We use several types of tracking methods, including standard browser storage, session identifiers, and analytics tags. Each serves a specific purpose in making our financial planning tools work properly.

Types of Tracking We Use

Essential Functionality

These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, you wouldn't be able to save budgets, remember your currency preferences, or keep your session active while using our tools.

  • Session authentication tokens
  • Budget calculation preferences
  • Currency display settings
  • Security verification identifiers

Performance Analytics

We track how people use our budgeting features to identify which tools are most helpful and where we can make improvements. This helps us prioritize development work based on real usage patterns.

  • Page visit duration and navigation paths
  • Feature usage frequency tracking
  • Error reports and technical issues
  • Device and browser information

Preference Storage

These remember your choices so you don't have to set things up every time you visit. They store settings like your preferred budget categories, notification preferences, and interface customizations.

  • Budget category arrangements
  • Dashboard layout preferences
  • Notification settings
  • Theme and display options

Educational Content Tracking

When you interact with our webinars and study materials, we track which resources you've viewed. This helps us recommend relevant content and understand which educational topics resonate most with our community.

  • Webinar attendance records
  • Study material progress tracking
  • Content recommendation algorithms
  • Learning path completion status

About Essential Tracking

Essential functionality tracking cannot be disabled because it's required for the website to work. This includes security features, session management, and basic preference storage. Without these, you wouldn't be able to log in, save your work, or use our budgeting calculators.

Managing Your Browser Settings

Most browsers let you control tracking directly. Here's how to access these settings in popular browsers:

  • Chrome Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all tracking or manage specific sites.
  • Firefox Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection by default.
  • Safari Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party tracking automatically.
  • Edge Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Three levels of tracking prevention available.

Data Retention Periods

Different types of tracking have different lifespans. Here's how long we keep various types of data:

Tracking Type Retention Period Reason
Session identifiers Until browser close Maintains your active session
Preference settings 12 months Remembers your choices between visits
Analytics data 24 months Identifies long-term usage patterns
Educational progress 36 months Tracks your learning journey over time

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

When you allow tracking, you get a more personalized experience. For instance, if you frequently use certain budgeting categories, we can surface those first in your dashboard. If you're working through our educational materials, we remember where you left off.

Analytics help us identify when users struggle with particular features. In early 2025, we noticed many people were abandoning the expense categorization tool halfway through. That insight led us to simplify the interface, which made it significantly easier to use.

Without any tracking, you'd need to reconfigure your preferences every single visit, and we wouldn't be able to identify which features need improvement or which educational content is most valuable to our community.

Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over non-essential tracking. You can decline it at any time using the button above, through your browser settings, or by contacting us directly. Your choice is saved and respected across all future visits.

If you decline tracking, you can still use all our budgeting tools and educational resources. Some features might require slightly more manual configuration, but nothing is locked behind tracking acceptance.

We review and update our tracking practices regularly. When we add new types of tracking or change how we use existing data, we'll update this policy and notify active users.
