We use tracking technologies on caltherion.eu because they help the site work better. Most financial tools need to remember who you are between sessions—otherwise you'd be logging in every two minutes.
This policy explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can adjust things if you want. No jargon, just straight answers.
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as little memory aids—they help the site remember your preferences, login status, and other details that make browsing smoother.
They don't contain viruses or do anything shady. They're just data snippets that sit quietly until the website needs them again.
These keep the site functional. Without them, basic features like secure logins and session management wouldn't work. You can't turn these off if you want to use the spreadsheet tools properly.
Example: Authentication tokens, session identifiers, security verification.
These remember your choices—language settings, dashboard layouts, filter preferences. They make returning to the site feel familiar instead of starting from scratch each time.
Example: Saved view preferences, customized dashboard configurations, selected currency formats.
We track how people use the site so we can spot problems and improve things. For instance, if everyone's getting stuck on the same page, we need to know about it. This data stays anonymous.
Example: Page visit counts, feature usage patterns, error tracking, navigation paths.
These help us understand which features get used most and where things might be running slowly. When your spreadsheet loads faster in February than it did in December, these cookies played a part.
Example: Load time measurements, server response tracking, resource optimization data.
Here's what tracking does in practical terms. When you log into your financial dashboard and it remembers which spreadsheets you had open last time—that's cookies working. When the interface loads your preferred dark mode without you having to click around—also cookies.
Analytics help us spot patterns. If lots of people abandon a particular form halfway through, we can figure out why and fix it. Without that feedback loop, we'd be designing in the dark.
Every browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, clear them regularly, or set them to expire when you close the tab. Just be aware that blocking essential cookies will break core functionality.
To adjust settings in common browsers:
If you're using mobile, look for similar options in your browser's settings menu. Most have a privacy or security section where cookie controls live.
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer—functional cookies might last a few months so you don't have to reset preferences constantly. Analytics data gets anonymized and aggregated within 90 days.
Nothing lives forever on our servers. We clear out old tracking data regularly because keeping it serves no purpose.
Some features on caltherion.eu connect to external services—things like payment processors or data backup systems. These services might set their own cookies when you interact with them.
We only work with providers who meet Australian privacy standards. But if you want details about their specific practices, you'd need to check their individual policies.
Australian privacy laws give you clear rights about data collection. You can request details about what we've tracked, ask us to delete specific information, or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking at any point.
Blocking analytics or performance cookies won't break the site, but it might make some features less responsive to your needs over time since we lose visibility into what's working and what isn't.
When we update how tracking works—whether that's adding new tools or removing old ones—we'll revise this page and update the date at the top. If changes are significant, we'll send a notification through your dashboard.
Worth checking back occasionally if you care about these details. Things shift as technology and regulations evolve.
This website stores small files on your device to remember your preferences and improve your experience. You can choose whether to allow this or not.
