What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them?
Think of cookies as small notes your browser keeps about your visits to our site. When you come back, these notes help us recognize you and provide a more personalized experience. We use cookies to remember your language preference, keep you logged in between sessions, and understand which features you find most useful.
Not all cookies are created equal. Some expire the moment you close your browser, while others stick around for months or even years. We've categorized ours based on their purpose and lifespan so you can make informed decisions about which ones you're comfortable with.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the cookies that keep the lights on. Without them, basic features like secure login, session management, and form submissions wouldn't work. They're strictly necessary for the site to function, which is why we can't offer an opt-out for these specific ones.
- Session authentication tokens
- Security verification
- Load balancing for site performance
Functional Cookies
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices. For instance, if you've selected a specific dashboard view or adjusted text size for better readability, functional cookies store those preferences so you don't have to reset them every visit.
- Language and region preferences
- Customized dashboard settings
- Accessibility options
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people navigate our site. Which pages do they spend time on? Where do they click? This information helps us identify what's working well and what needs improvement. The data is aggregated and anonymized – we're looking at trends, not tracking individual users.
- Page view statistics
- User journey tracking
- Feature engagement metrics
Marketing Cookies
These help us show you relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you've shown interest in budget planning tools, we might present related resources when you return. They also help us understand which marketing channels bring people to our site.
- Personalized content recommendations
- Campaign performance tracking
- Cross-platform engagement measurement
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. If you're not comfortable with non-essential cookies, you can decline them using the button below. We'll remember your choice and only use essential cookies necessary for the site to function properly.
Note: Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they're required for core site functionality including security, session management, and load balancing. Declining cookies will only affect functional, analytics, and marketing cookies.
Browser-Level Cookie Management
Beyond our built-in controls, you can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies on a site-by-site basis. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how certain features work across the web.
Look for cookie settings in your browser's privacy or security section. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all have straightforward options for managing tracking technologies. You can typically find these under Settings → Privacy or similar menu paths.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might stick around for months or years depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies typically last 24 months, while functional preferences might be stored indefinitely until you clear them.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. If you want to know what information we've collected about you or request its removal, reach out to us using the contact details below. We'll respond within 30 days and honor your request in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
