Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2025
We're pretty straightforward about how we use cookies on autirvaaveso.com. Think of cookies as tiny digital notes that help our website remember you and work better. They're not the edible kind, but they're just as helpful in their own way.
Running a budgeting platform means we need to balance functionality with your privacy. This policy explains what tracking we use and why each piece matters for your experience.
What Cookies Actually Do Here
When you visit our site, small text files get stored on your device. These help us recognize you when you come back and remember your preferences. It's similar to a cafe barista remembering your usual order.
For a financial planning platform, this becomes especially important. We need to keep your dashboard settings consistent and maintain your session security. Without these mechanisms, you'd have to log in constantly and reset everything each visit.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional and secure. They manage your login session, protect against security threats, and maintain basic navigation. You can't opt out of these because they're fundamental to the platform working at all.
- Session authentication tokens
- Security verification codes
- Basic navigation memory
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices. Things like which budget categories you view most often, your preferred currency display format, or whether you like the dashboard in compact or expanded view. Makes returning to the site feel more personalized.
- Dashboard layout preferences
- Display format selections
- Notification settings
Analytics Cookies
We track how people use the site to spot problems and improve features. If everyone's getting stuck on the same tutorial step, we need to know. This data gets aggregated so we're looking at patterns, not individual behavior.
- Page visit tracking
- Feature usage patterns
- Error occurrence logging
Marketing Cookies
These track which educational resources you've viewed so we can suggest relevant content. If you've been reading about retirement planning, we might highlight our superannuation guides. They also help us understand which marketing channels bring people to the site.
- Content recommendation tracking
- Campaign source identification
- Educational resource engagement
How Long We Keep Them
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time, depending on what they do. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last months or even years.
Typical Cookie Lifespan
Session Duration
Authentication and security tokens that expire when you log out or close your browser. These reset every visit.
30 Days
Preference settings and recent activity tracking. Long enough to feel consistent across regular visits but short enough to stay current.
12 Months
Analytics data and marketing attribution. Helps us understand seasonal patterns and long-term user behavior trends.
24 Months
Some preference cookies that rarely change, like language settings or accessibility options you've configured.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
Your browser gives you control over cookies. Most modern browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing ones, or get notified before new ones are set. The process varies slightly depending on which browser you use.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's where to find the controls in the most common ones used in Australia:
Chrome
Firefox
Edge
Safari
About Essential Cookies
You can't turn off essential cookies and still use the platform properly. They're necessary for basic functions like logging in, maintaining your session, and keeping your data secure.
If you block all cookies through your browser, you'll likely encounter login issues and lose access to personalized features. The site will still load, but won't function as intended.

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from external services we use. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and educational resource providers might set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content.
We're selective about third-party services. Each one gets evaluated for necessity and privacy impact. If there's a way to provide functionality without external cookies, we'll use it.
When you reject non-essential cookies, we also signal to these third-party services to respect your preference through Google Consent Mode and similar mechanisms.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes and so do our practices. We review this policy regularly and update it when we add new features or modify how we handle data.
Major changes get announced through email to registered users. Minor clarifications or updates to reflect new browser features might happen without notification. The date at the top shows when we last revised things.
If you're concerned about changes, checking back quarterly makes sense. We're transparent about what we track and why.
