Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025We use tracking technologies on luretanoqis.com to help you manage your finances better and personalize your experience. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our budget preparation tools.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are tiny pieces of data that websites place on your computer or phone. They've been around since the mid-90s and most websites use them in some form.
We also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags) and local storage technologies. All of these serve similar purposes – they help us provide a smoother experience when you're working with your budget data.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer so we can remember you when you come back. The duration varies based on what the cookie does.
Types of Cookies We Use
These are necessary for basic site functionality. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in or navigate between pages. They don't collect information about your browsing habits – they just make sure the site works properly when you're using our budget tools.
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your preferred currency display, whether you want graphs or tables for your spending data, or which budget categories you've customized. They make your experience more personal without tracking you across other websites.
We use these to understand which features people find helpful and which ones need improvement. They tell us things like how many visitors check the learning program versus those who go straight to the methodology page. The data is aggregated – we're looking at patterns, not individual behavior.
These help us show you relevant information about budget preparation resources. They track whether you've visited certain educational pages so we don't keep suggesting content you've already seen. We don't sell this data or use it for purposes unrelated to improving our service.
How We Use These Technologies
The main reason we use cookies is to make luretanoqis.com work better for you. Here are some specific examples of what that means in practice.
Maintaining Your Session
When you log in to review your budget, cookies keep you logged in as you move between different sections. Otherwise you'd need to re-enter your credentials every time you clicked to a new page.
Remembering Your Preferences
If you've customized how you want to see your financial data – maybe you prefer monthly views over weekly ones, or you've set up specific spending categories – cookies store those choices. You won't need to reconfigure everything each visit.
Understanding Usage Patterns
Analytics cookies show us which educational resources people find most valuable. If we notice that lots of users spend time on our methodology page but rarely visit the before-you-start section, that tells us something about what content resonates.
Improving Site Performance
Some tracking helps us identify technical issues. If certain pages load slowly for users in specific regions, we can investigate and fix the problem. Or if people frequently abandon forms at a particular step, we know we need to redesign that part.
Third-Party Cookies
We keep third-party cookies to a minimum, but we do work with a few external services that may place their own cookies on your device.
For example, we use analytics providers to help us understand site traffic patterns. These companies have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We've chosen partners who align with our commitment to user privacy, but you should know they operate independently.
We don't allow advertising networks to track you on our site. Any marketing cookies we use are first-party only and relate specifically to our budget preparation services.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set preferences for which types you'll accept. The exact steps vary by browser, but you'll usually find these options in your privacy or security settings.
Here's where to look in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Cookies and Site Permissions
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how luretanoqis.com works. You might not be able to log in, or your preferences won't be saved between sessions. Essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality.
You can be selective, though. Most browsers let you accept cookies from sites you visit directly while blocking third-party ones. That's a middle ground that maintains functionality while limiting tracking.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser – these are typically the ones that keep you logged in during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Preference cookies might last for a year so we can remember your settings. Analytics cookies usually expire after two years, though we often refresh them if you keep using the site.
We regularly review and delete data we no longer need. If you haven't visited luretanoqis.com in over two years, we'll remove your preference cookies since they're probably no longer relevant.
Cookie data is stored locally on your device, not on our servers. However, some information collected through cookies does get sent back to us – things like which pages you visited or how long you spent on the site. We store that aggregated data securely and use it only for the purposes described in this policy.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or when regulations change. The date at the top shows when we last made changes.
If we make significant updates – particularly anything that affects how we collect or use your data – we'll notify you through the site. We might show a banner or send an email to registered users.
We recommend checking back every few months if you're interested in how we handle cookies and tracking. We don't make changes frequently, but when we do, we want you to know about them.
Your Rights and Choices
You have several options when it comes to cookies on luretanoqis.com. You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time. You can also opt out of specific types of tracking while still using the site.
If you're located in Australia, you have specific rights under privacy legislation regarding how your data is collected and used. These rights extend to information gathered through cookies.
You can request to see what cookie-related data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies. We'll process these requests promptly, though some data may be retained if required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes.
Remember that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features. Budget preparation tools require some basic tracking to function properly. But you always have control over functional, analytics, and marketing cookies.
