Understanding how we use tracking technologies at tavionkarex to improve your experience with our budget control platform
Last Updated: January 2026We believe in being upfront about the technologies we use. Cookies and similar tracking tools help us make tavionkarex.com work better for you. They're basically small text files that sit on your device and remember things about your visit.
This policy explains what we track, why we track it, and how you can control what happens with your data. We've tried to keep the language straightforward because nobody wants to read through pages of legal jargon.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as little notes your browser keeps about websites you visit. When you come to tavionkarex.com, your browser saves these notes. Next time you visit, we can read those notes and remember your preferences or where you left off.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months. We use both types, depending on what we're trying to accomplish.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log in, access your budget dashboards, or save any settings. They're non-negotiable if you want to actually use our platform.
Session management, security verification, load balancing across servers, remembering items in your calculation queue
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Like whether you prefer monthly or yearly budget views, which currency you use, or if you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience more personalized.
Display preferences, language selection, timezone settings, dashboard layout customization, notification preferences
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our platform. Which features get used most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us make tavionkarex.com better over time.
Pages visited, time spent on features, common navigation paths, device and browser types, general location data
Marketing Cookies
These track how you found us and what content resonates with you. We use this to understand which marketing efforts actually work and to show you relevant information about features you might find useful.
Tracking referral sources, measuring campaign effectiveness, understanding user journey, showing relevant feature suggestions
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Let's get specific about what this means in practice. When you set up a monthly budget and choose to view it in weekly increments, we remember that. You don't have to reconfigure your view every single time you log in.
If you're working on a budget calculation and accidentally close your browser, your progress is still there when you come back. That's cookies at work. Or when we notice most people struggle with a particular feature, we redesign it based on that behavioral data.
We also track technical issues. If our servers are responding slowly for users in a particular region, we can spot that pattern and fix it. Without tracking data, we'd be flying blind.
Important note: We never sell your personal data to third parties. The information we collect through cookies is used exclusively to improve our service and help you manage your finances more effectively. Your budget data stays private.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're not stuck with our tracking decisions. Every browser gives you control over cookies, though the process varies a bit. Here's what you can do:
- Block all cookies entirely (though this will break most of tavionkarex.com's functionality)
- Delete existing cookies whenever you want
- Set cookies to expire when you close your browser
- Allow cookies only from sites you trust
- Get notifications before cookies are set
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies means you won't be able to log in or save any work. Blocking functional cookies means you'll lose personalization. Blocking analytics cookies won't affect your experience directly, but it makes it harder for us to improve the platform.

Third-Party Tools
We use some external services that set their own cookies. Our analytics platform, error monitoring tools, and customer support chat all place cookies independently. They have their own privacy policies, which you should probably read if you're concerned about who has what data.
We're selective about third-party tools. Every service we integrate gets vetted for security and privacy practices. But once a third party sets a cookie, they're responsible for how it's used. We can't control their behavior beyond choosing whether to work with them.
For Australian users: Our cookie practices comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. Your data is handled according to Australian standards, and we maintain servers within Australia for local user data whenever possible.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our platform evolves. Sometimes we'll need to update how we handle cookies. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know through email or a notification when you log in.
Minor updates might happen without notification, so checking back here occasionally makes sense if you're particularly concerned about tracking. The date at the top of this page shows when we last made changes.
Questions About Our Cookie Use?
If something here doesn't make sense or you want more specific information about how we track and use data, get in touch. We'd rather answer your questions directly than have you worry about what's happening with your information.
