Cookie Policy
We use tracking technologies on avilorexio.com to make your budgeting experience better. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage them. We believe in being upfront about data collection – nothing sneaky here.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you use our budgeting tools. Think of them as digital sticky notes that remind us who you are and what you like.
Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons (tiny images embedded in pages) and local storage (data kept in your browser). These all serve the same purpose: helping avilorexio.com work smoothly for you while giving us insights into what's working and what isn't.
How These Technologies Actually Work
When you land on our site, your browser sends a request to our server. Our server responds by sending back the page you requested, along with instructions to store certain cookies. Your browser follows these instructions and saves the cookies locally. Next time you visit, your browser sends those cookies back to us so we can recognize you.
Some cookies stick around for years (persistent cookies), while others disappear when you close your browser (session cookies). We use both types depending on what we're trying to accomplish.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log in, save your budget preferences, or navigate between pages. They're the backbone of avilorexio.com and we can't really operate without them.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like your preferred currency display or which budget categories you've collapsed. They make your experience more personalized without collecting information about your browsing elsewhere.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our weekly budgeting tools. Which features get clicked most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us improve the platform for everyone.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different sites to show you relevant information about avilorexio's services. If you've visited our site before, you might see our ads elsewhere. You can opt out of these anytime.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Here's the honest truth: cookies help us run a better budgeting platform. But let's break down the specific ways they help.
Remembering your login status – You shouldn't have to enter your password every single time you navigate to a new page. Session cookies keep you logged in securely throughout your visit.
Saving your preferences – Whether you prefer to view your budget weekly or monthly, we remember that. Same goes for notification settings, display options, and category customizations you've made.
Understanding usage patterns – We look at which features get used most often, where people spend their time, and what parts of the platform might be confusing. This isn't about tracking individuals – it's about spotting trends.
Security monitoring – Cookies help us detect unusual activity that might indicate someone's trying to access your account without permission. They're part of our security infrastructure.
Performance optimization – By tracking loading times and technical performance across different browsers and devices, we can identify and fix issues before they affect more users.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Most browsers let you manage cookies through their settings, and we respect whatever choices you make. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how well avilorexio.com works for you.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's where to find the controls in the most common ones:
- You can block all cookies, but this will likely break core functionality on avilorexio.com
- Blocking just third-party cookies gives you privacy while keeping the site functional
- You can delete cookies anytime, though you'll lose saved preferences
- Most browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals, which we respect
- Private browsing modes don't save cookies after you close the window
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. We use these for temporary things like keeping you logged in during a single visit.
Persistent cookies can last anywhere from a few days to two years, depending on their purpose. Login cookies might last a month so you don't have to sign in constantly. Analytics cookies typically expire after two years.
We regularly review and clean up old cookie data. If you haven't visited avilorexio.com in a while, most of your cookies will have expired naturally. The data collected through cookies gets aggregated and anonymized over time, so individual browsing patterns aren't stored indefinitely.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes other companies' cookies end up on our site – usually when we embed content or use analytics tools. These third parties have their own policies about data retention, which we can't control. We only work with reputable providers who take privacy seriously.
Your Rights and Choices
Australian privacy laws give you certain rights regarding your data. You can ask us what information we've collected through cookies, request that we delete it, or object to certain types of tracking. We'll honor these requests within reasonable timeframes.
- Request a copy of the data we've collected about you through cookies
- Ask us to delete cookie data associated with your account
- Opt out of marketing cookies while still using functional ones
- Change your consent preferences at any time
- File a complaint if you believe we're mishandling your data
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as we add features or adjust how we handle data. Significant changes will be announced through email or a notice on the platform. We won't reduce your rights without giving you a heads up and a chance to review the new terms.
The "last updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes. We recommend checking back every few months if you're curious about our practices.
