Cookie & Tracking Usage

We believe in transparency about how orikarioerna.com collects and uses data when you visit our site. This page explains everything about the tracking technologies we use.

Manage Your Tracking Preferences

You have control over non-essential tracking. We'll keep essential cookies active for site functionality, but you can decline all analytics and marketing tracking with one click.

What Tracking Technologies We Use

Like most websites, orikarioerna.com uses various tracking methods. Some are necessary for basic functionality. Others help us understand how people use our budget analysis tools so we can make improvements.

Essential Tracking (Always Active)

These can't be disabled because the site won't work properly without them. They handle things like remembering you're logged in or keeping items in your session.

Analytics Tracking (Optional)

We use analytics to see which budget tools get used most, where people struggle, and what content helps Australian users manage their finances better. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.

How Analytics Help

When we noticed users spent longer on our debt reduction calculator, we created more supporting content around that topic. Analytics show us what's working and what needs improvement.

Marketing Tracking (Optional)

These track visits across different sites to show you relevant content. If you've declined tracking, we won't use these at all.

Managing Tracking Through Your Browser

Every browser gives you control over tracking. Here's how to adjust settings in the most common ones Australian users visit us with.

1

Chrome

Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose from several options including blocking all third-party tracking.

2

Firefox

Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. Firefox offers strong defaults here.

3

Safari

Preferences → Privacy → Prevent cross-site tracking. Safari blocks most third-party tracking by default.

4

Edge

Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Tracking prevention. Set to Strict for maximum blocking.

Keep in mind that blocking all tracking might affect how some site features work. Our essential tools will still function, but certain conveniences might be limited.

Data Retention & Storage

We don't keep tracking data forever. Analytics information is typically retained for 26 months, which gives us enough time to spot trends without hoarding old data unnecessarily.

Essential data tied to your account (like login sessions) stays active while you're using the site and for a reasonable period afterward. We clear old sessions regularly.

Your Data Rights

Under Australian privacy laws, you can request to see what data we've collected about you, ask us to delete it, or export it. Reach out through our contact page if you want to exercise these rights.

Third-Party Tracking

Some tracking comes from services we use rather than directly from orikarioerna.com. For example, if we embed a video or use a specific analytics platform, those providers might set their own tracking.

We're selective about third parties and only work with established providers who respect user privacy. But we can't control their practices entirely once you've visited their sites.

When you decline tracking through our tool above, we signal to compliant third parties that you've opted out. However, some might require separate opt-out steps through their own systems.

Changes to This Policy

Technology and privacy regulations both evolve. We update this page when our tracking practices change or when new laws require adjustments.

Significant changes get announced through email if you're registered with us. Otherwise, the updated date below shows when we last revised this information.
