Cookie and Tracking Policy
Understanding how plexivon collects and uses information through cookies and tracking
technologies on our budgeting platform. We believe transparency builds trust, so here's
exactly what happens when you visit plexivon.com.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you browse. Think
of them as digital sticky notes that help us remember your preferences and improve your
experience on our budgeting platform.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage
technologies. These tools work together to understand how you interact with our
short-term budgeting tools and educational content.
When you visit plexivon.com, these technologies collect information like which budgeting
templates you view, how long you spend creating financial plans, and which educational
articles help you most. This data helps us refine our platform to better serve
Australian households managing their finances.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our budgeting platform running smoothly. They remember your login
status, secure your financial data, and maintain your budget calculations as you
navigate between pages. Without these, our platform simply wouldn't function
properly.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like currency format, budget categories you've
customized, and which financial calculators you use most often. They make your
return visits more efficient and personalized to your budgeting style.
Analytics Cookies
We track which budgeting features get used most, where people spend time on
educational content, and which tools help users achieve their financial goals. This
anonymous data guides our platform improvements and content creation.
Marketing Cookies
These help us understand which educational content brings people to our platform
and measure the effectiveness of our financial literacy campaigns. They also help
us show relevant budgeting tips and resources based on your interests.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Practical Benefits You'll Notice
Personalized Budgeting We remember which expense categories matter
most to your household and suggest relevant budget templates for Australian living
costs.
Progress Tracking Your budget goals and financial milestones are
saved securely, so you can pick up where you left off and see your improvement over
time.
Relevant Content Based on your budgeting patterns, we recommend
educational articles about managing finances that align with your specific
situation and goals.
For example, if you frequently use our debt repayment calculator, we might suggest
articles about consolidation strategies or highlight budgeting templates designed for
debt reduction. This isn't random – it's based on patterns from your interactions with
our platform.
We also use tracking to identify when our budgeting tools aren't working as expected.
If users consistently abandon a particular calculator halfway through, that tells us
something needs fixing. Your usage patterns help us build better financial tools for
everyone.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser-Level Controls
Chrome Settings
Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. Here you can
block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing data. You can
also create exceptions for specific sites like plexivon.com.
Firefox Options
Navigate to Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers
enhanced tracking protection with different levels of blocking. You can customize
which types of trackers to block while keeping functional cookies.
Safari Preferences
In Safari Preferences → Privacy tab, you'll find options to prevent cross-site
tracking and manage cookies from websites. Safari's intelligent tracking
prevention works automatically but can be customized.
Remember that blocking certain cookies might affect how our budgeting platform works.
Essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality, while blocking analytics
cookies won't impact your ability to create budgets or access educational content.
Some mobile browsers handle cookies differently, especially in private browsing mode.
If you're having trouble with budget calculations not saving or login issues, check
whether cookies are enabled for plexivon.com specifically.
Data Retention and Your Control
How Long We Keep Tracking Data
Different types of cookies and tracking data have different lifespans, and you have
control over most of them. Here's what happens to your data over time.
Session Cookies These disappear when you close your browser.
They're temporary helpers that keep you logged in and maintain your budget
calculations during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies These stick around for set periods – usually 30
days to 2 years depending on their purpose. Preference cookies last longer than
analytics cookies.
Analytics Data Anonymous usage patterns are kept for up to 26
months to help us understand long-term trends in how people use budgeting tools.
Personal identifiers are removed.
You can clear your cookies anytime through your browser settings, which immediately
removes stored preferences and tracking data. However, this also means you'll need to
set up your budgeting preferences again on your next visit.
We regularly review and purge old tracking data that's no longer useful for improving
our platform. Marketing cookies are typically the first to be cleared, followed by
older analytics data that's been aggregated and anonymized.
Third-Party Tracking and Integrations
Our budgeting platform integrates with some third-party services that have their own
tracking technologies. This includes payment processors for premium features, analytics
services that help us understand user behavior, and educational content providers.
We're selective about these partnerships and only work with services that meet our
privacy standards. However, these third parties may set their own cookies when you
interact with their features on our platform.
For instance, if you watch an embedded financial education video, the video provider
might track viewing patterns. If you share a budget template on social media, those
platforms will use their own tracking methods. We provide links to their privacy
policies so you can understand what data they collect.
Questions About Our Tracking Practices?
We know cookie policies can be confusing, especially when you're focused on managing your
finances rather than web technology. If you have questions about what data we collect or
how to control your privacy settings, we're here to help explain things clearly.
