Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026
At vorenalyth, we're upfront about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on vorenalyth.com. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We believe in giving you control over your online experience. That's why we've put together this straightforward explanation of our data tracking practices.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They're pretty common across the web—most sites use them to remember who you are and keep track of your preferences.
Think of cookies as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things between visits. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around for longer periods.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These all serve similar purposes—they help us understand how people interact with our budgeting tools and resources.

Essential Cookies
These cookies keep vorenalyth.com working properly. Without them, basic features wouldn't function—like staying logged into your account or moving between pages without losing your work.

How We Use Tracking Technologies
We're not tracking things just for the sake of it. Every piece of data we collect serves a specific purpose in making vorenalyth.com more useful for people managing their finances.
Improving Your Experience
When you visit our budgeting calculator, cookies remember your previous inputs so you don't have to start from scratch each time. If you've set your preferred currency to Australian dollars, we'll remember that for your next visit.
We also use cookies to test different versions of our tools and resources. For example, we might show different layouts to different visitors to see which one helps people find information faster. This kind of testing helps us make better decisions about site improvements.
Understanding Site Performance
Analytics cookies tell us things like which budget planning articles get the most engagement, or where people tend to drop off in our financial planning guides. This information is aggregated—we're looking at patterns across many users, not tracking individuals.
We've noticed, for instance, that our debt management resources get more traffic during the first quarter of the year. That kind of insight helps us plan when to update and expand those sections.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Some cookies help us spot suspicious activity and keep your account secure. They help us recognize when something unusual is happening—like multiple failed login attempts or access from an unexpected location.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're not stuck with our default cookie settings. Every major browser gives you tools to control how cookies work on your device.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect how vorenalyth.com works. Essential cookies are needed for basic functionality, so blocking them might prevent you from logging in or using certain features.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes cookies come from services we use rather than directly from vorenalyth.com. For example, if we embed a video tutorial or use an analytics platform, those services might set their own cookies.
We're careful about which third parties we work with, but they operate under their own privacy policies. We don't have direct control over their cookies, though we do choose partners who respect user privacy.
Important Note About Third Parties
When you interact with content from external services on vorenalyth.com—like video players or social media embeds—those services may collect data according to their own policies.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.
Cookie Duration and Data Retention
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Here's a breakdown of how long various types of cookies remain active:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Temporary authentication and navigation |
| Authentication | 14 days | Keep you logged into your account |
| Preference Storage | 12 months | Remember your settings and choices |
| Analytics | 24 months | Understand long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing Tracking | 13 months | Measure campaign effectiveness |
You can delete cookies from your browser at any time, which will remove them before their natural expiration date. Just be aware that this might reset your preferences and log you out of your account.
Updates to This Policy
We update this cookie policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
If we make major changes that affect how we use cookies, we'll let you know through a notice on vorenalyth.com or via email if you have an account with us.
It's worth checking back here from time to time, especially if you're particular about privacy settings. We typically review and update our policies annually, though changes can happen more frequently if needed.
Mobile Apps and Other Platforms
This policy focuses on our website, but we also collect data through mobile applications and other platforms. Mobile apps typically use device identifiers rather than cookies, but the principles are similar.
If you're using a vorenalyth mobile app, check the app's specific privacy settings for information about data collection and your control options.
Questions About Cookies?
If something in this policy isn't clear, or if you have specific questions about how we use cookies on vorenalyth.com, we're happy to explain.
