Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies on zylaraqenti.com
What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as tiny notes that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with zylaraqenti.
We use these tracking technologies to make your budgeting experience smoother. When you return to zylaraqenti.com, we can remember your dashboard settings, keep you logged in, and show you relevant features based on what you've used before.
Beyond convenience, cookies help us figure out which parts of our budgeting tools are most useful and where people get stuck. This information guides us in building better features for Australian households managing their finances.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Cookies Required
These are the cookies that keep zylaraqenti functional. They handle your login sessions, remember your security preferences, and ensure the budgeting tools work properly. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your account or save your budget information. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for the website to function at all.
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your personal choices on zylaraqenti.com. Things like your preferred currency display, which budget categories you've collapsed or expanded, and whether you prefer light or dark mode. They're about making your experience feel customized without you having to set everything up each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies Optional
We use these to understand how people navigate through our budgeting tools. Which features get used most? Where do people spend their time? When do they leave the site? The data is aggregated and anonymous, but it tells us what's working and what needs improvement in our financial education approach.
Performance Cookies Optional
These track technical performance metrics. How fast do pages load? Are there any errors people encounter? Which browsers or devices have issues? This helps us keep zylaraqenti running smoothly across different devices and connection speeds, which matters when you're trying to quickly check your budget on your phone.
How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device
These disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary helpers for your current visit only.
These stick around for a set period, typically between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their purpose.
Your login session usually lasts 7 days unless you choose "remember me," which extends it to 30 days.
Your personal settings are saved for up to 12 months so we can remember how you like things configured.
You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Just know that this will reset your preferences and log you out of zylaraqenti.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Through Your Browser Settings
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can use them. The exact steps vary by browser, but you'll usually find these options under Privacy or Security settings.
On zylaraqenti.com
When you first visit our site, you'll see a notification letting you customize which optional cookies you want to accept. You can change these preferences anytime from the footer link on any page. Essential cookies will remain active regardless of your choice.
What Happens When You Block Cookies
If you block all cookies, you won't be able to log into your zylaraqenti account or save any budgeting information. Blocking just optional cookies means you'll still have full functionality, but you'll need to reset your preferences each visit and we won't be able to improve the service based on usage patterns.
Most browsers offer detailed cookie management. You can see which cookies are stored, when they expire, and delete specific ones while keeping others.

This table shows our primary cookies, but additional temporary cookies may be created during specific features or tool usage. All follow the same privacy principles outlined here.
Third-Party Cookies and Tracking
zylaraqenti doesn't use third-party advertising cookies or share your browsing data with marketing networks. The only external cookies you might encounter are from our analytics provider, which operates under strict data processing agreements that prevent them from using your information for any purpose beyond generating usage statistics for us.
We specifically don't use social media pixels, remarketing tags, or behavioral advertising tools. Your financial information stays private and isn't tracked across other websites.
Your Rights and Data Control
Australian privacy laws give you specific rights around how your data is collected and used. You can request a full list of what cookies have tracked your activity, ask us to delete that information, or export it for your records.
If you're concerned about specific tracking activities or want to understand exactly what data we've collected through cookies, contact our privacy team. We'll provide a detailed breakdown within 30 days of your request.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if you believe we're not handling your data appropriately. We'd prefer to resolve concerns directly, but that option exists if needed.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it when our tracking practices change or when regulations require adjustments. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page tells you when the most recent changes were made.
Significant changes will be communicated through email to registered users and through a notice on the zylaraqenti.com homepage. Minor clarifications or formatting updates happen without specific notification.
We recommend checking back here occasionally, especially if you have questions about how we're using cookies. Technology changes, and so do our tools for improving the budgeting experience.
