Last Updated: January 15, 2025
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit. At velarionquessa, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our short-term budgeting tools and to improve your experience.
These technologies include traditional HTTP cookies, local storage, session storage, and web beacons. Each serves different purposes in helping us provide you with a personalized budgeting experience while maintaining the functionality you expect from our platform.
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes that help our website remember your preferences – like your preferred currency display or whether you've completed our budgeting tutorial. Without some of these technologies, you'd need to re-enter your preferences every time you visit.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, session management, and form submissions. You cannot disable these cookies as they're required for the site to function properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and settings, such as your preferred dashboard layout, currency settings, or notification preferences. They help us provide you with a more personalized budgeting experience.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our budgeting tools. They help us identify which features are most helpful and where users might be experiencing difficulties, allowing us to improve our platform.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing behavior to provide relevant content and advertisements. They help us show you information about budgeting resources and tools that might interest you based on your usage patterns.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to make your budgeting journey smoother and more intuitive. Here's how they specifically benefit your experience with velarionquessa:
- Remembering your budget categories and spending goals between visits
- Saving your progress in our financial planning tutorials
- Personalizing dashboard widgets based on your most-used features
- Providing relevant budgeting tips based on your spending patterns
- Maintaining your login session securely across browsing sessions
- Optimizing page loading times by caching your preferences
- Ensuring forms remember your input if your session expires
For instance, when you set up your monthly budget categories, functional cookies remember these preferences so you don't need to recreate them each time you log in. Analytics cookies help us understand if users are struggling with particular features, leading to improvements like simplified navigation or clearer instructions.

Browser Cookie Management
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Each browser provides different methods for viewing, managing, and deleting cookies:
Google Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Here you can view all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing cookies.
Mozilla Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection and granular cookie controls.

Data Retention and Your Control
Different types of cookies have varying lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain for months or years unless manually deleted.
Retention Periods
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or up to 30 days for security purposes. Functional cookies may persist for up to one year to remember your preferences effectively. Analytics cookies generally expire after two years, while marketing cookies may last anywhere from 30 days to two years depending on the specific service.
Your Rights and Options
You have complete control over non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies for the full personalized experience, reject non-essential cookies using the button above, or manage specific categories through your browser settings. Your choice applies immediately and can be changed at any time.
If you choose to reject analytics cookies, we won't be able to track your usage patterns to improve our budgeting tools. Rejecting functional cookies means you'll need to reset your preferences each visit. Marketing cookie rejection will result in less personalized content recommendations.
Third-Party Services and Integrations
velarionquessa integrates with several trusted third-party services to enhance functionality, and these services may place their own cookies on your device. These include analytics providers like Google Analytics, customer support chat systems, and payment processing services.
When you interact with embedded content such as budgeting calculators, financial planning videos, or social sharing buttons, these elements may set additional cookies governed by their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services for complete information about their data practices.
Our Australian operations comply with local privacy legislation while maintaining consistency with international privacy standards. This ensures your data is protected regardless of which velarionquessa services you use or where they're hosted.
