What Are Tracking Technologies?

Think of tracking technologies as small digital helpers. When you browse our flexible budgeting platform, tiny pieces of data called cookies get stored on your device. They remember things like your login details, currency preferences, and which budget templates you were working on.

But it's not just cookies. We also use pixel tags, local storage, and session identifiers. These tools help us understand how people move through our budgeting tools—where they get stuck, which features they love, and what needs improvement.

How They Actually Work

Let's say you start creating a budget on your laptop. You add a few expense categories, then close your browser. When you come back later, your work is still there. That's thanks to local storage keeping track of your session. Or maybe you're checking your spending trends on your phone—cookies ensure you don't have to log in every single time.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Here's what actually happens when we collect this data. Say you're working on a monthly budget and you notice your groceries category is always over. Our analytics might show that lots of users struggle with this category. So we could develop a feature that suggests weekly grocery budgets instead of monthly ones.

Or maybe you always switch to dark mode when using our app at night. Functional cookies remember that preference so you're not blinded by a bright screen every evening.

We also use tracking to spot technical problems. If our analytics show that people using a particular browser can't access the export feature, we know exactly where to focus our development efforts.

Browser Configuration Options

Most modern browsers let you control cookies pretty easily. In Chrome, head to Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies. In Firefox, it's Options → Privacy & Security. Safari users can find controls under Preferences → Privacy.

You can block all third-party cookies, which stops external services from tracking you. You can delete existing cookies whenever you want. Some browsers even offer automatic clearing when you close them.

If you're using exarimorph.org regularly, we'd suggest allowing first-party cookies but blocking third-party ones. That gives you full platform functionality while limiting external tracking.

Third-Party Services

We do work with some external services that help us run exarimorph.org. Our analytics provider processes usage data. Our hosting company manages the servers. Our security service protects against fraud.

These companies might place their own tracking technologies, but they're bound by strict agreements. They can only use data for purposes we've approved, and they can't share it with anyone else.

We review these partnerships regularly. If a service doesn't meet our privacy standards, we find an alternative.

Updates to This Policy

Technology changes. Laws change. Sometimes we add new features that require different tracking methods. When we update this policy, we'll post the new version here and update the date at the top.

If we make significant changes—like introducing a completely new type of tracking—we'll let you know through an email or a notification when you log in. You'll always have the option to adjust your preferences or opt out.
