What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit qeltharion.com. These files help us remember your preferences, analyze site usage patterns, and provide personalized budget tracking experiences tailored to Australian financial contexts.

We use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags to enhance our budget tracking platform. These tools work together to create a seamless experience for managing your finances.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Personalized Budget Dashboards

We remember which spending categories you monitor most frequently, automatically organizing your dashboard to show the most relevant financial data first. For instance, if you regularly check your mortgage payments and grocery spending, those sections appear prominently.

Smart Financial Insights

By analyzing your browsing patterns, we provide targeted advice about Australian financial products, tax planning opportunities, and budgeting strategies that match your specific situation and interests.

Seamless Multi-Device Experience

Tracking allows us to sync your preferences across devices, so your budget categories, notification settings, and dashboard layout remain consistent whether you access qeltharion.com from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We monitor unusual login patterns and access attempts to protect your financial data. This includes tracking IP addresses, device fingerprints, and session behaviors to detect potential security threats.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans on your device. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for up to two years unless manually deleted.

What Happens When You Reject Cookies

• You'll need to re-enter preferences each visit
• Some personalization features won't function properly
• Financial insights and recommendations become generic
• Marketing content may be less relevant to your needs
• Third-party integrations with banks may require re-authorization

Managing Your Data

You can request to see what data we've collected about your browsing behavior, ask us to delete specific information, or export your tracking history. Contact us at help@qeltharion.com for data access requests.

Technical Implementation Details

First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

qeltharion.com sets first-party cookies directly for our budget tracking functionality. We also use third-party cookies from analytics providers, payment processors, and advertising networks that help us understand user behavior and provide integrated services.

Cross-Site Tracking

Some of our marketing partners may track your visits to other financial websites to build profiles for targeted advertising. This helps us show you relevant content about Australian financial products and services, but can be disabled through your cookie preferences.

Mobile App Tracking

If you use our mobile budget tracking app, similar tracking occurs through device identifiers and app-specific storage. Mobile tracking preferences are managed through your device's privacy settings rather than browser controls.

API and Integration Tracking

When you connect external accounts or use third-party financial tools through our platform, additional tracking may occur to maintain secure connections and sync data properly across services.
