What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

At gronexolita, we believe in transparency about how our website works. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit gronexolita.com. Think of them as helpful notes that remember your preferences and make your budgeting journey smoother.

Our Approach to Data Collection

We use cookies to understand how you interact with our zero-based budgeting tools. This helps us improve features like your budget categories, spending tracking, and financial goal setting. When you save a budget template or customize your dashboard, cookies help us remember those choices for your next visit.

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to make your budgeting experience more intuitive and personalized.

Practical Examples of How We Use Tracking:

Remembering your most-used budget categories when creating new budgets

Keeping you logged in securely across different pages and sessions

Showing relevant budgeting tips based on your current financial goals

Preventing duplicate account creation attempts

Customizing your dashboard layout according to your preferences

Providing accurate budget calculations based on your input patterns

Session and Local Storage

Beyond cookies, we also use session storage and local storage. Session storage temporarily holds your budget calculations while you work on them — this data disappears when you close your browser. Local storage keeps preferences like your preferred currency and budget categories between visits, making each session more efficient.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over how cookies work on your device. Here's how to adjust your settings in popular browsers:

Browser-Specific Instructions:

Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you choose to block all cookies, some features of our budgeting platform might not work as expected. You may need to re-enter your preferences each visit, and certain personalization features won't function. However, core budgeting calculations and account access will still work.

Data Retention and Your Rights

How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Most cookies expire automatically. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their purpose. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months.

Your Control Options

You can clear all cookies from your browser at any time. This will reset your preferences on our site, but won't affect your account data or saved budgets — those are stored securely on our servers, not in cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

We work with trusted partners for analytics and user experience improvements. These partners may place their own cookies on your device, but they don't have access to your personal budgeting data or account information. You can opt out of third-party tracking through your browser settings or industry opt-out tools.

Updates to This Policy

We review this policy regularly and update it when we change how we use cookies. Any significant changes will be communicated through our website and email notifications to active users. The last update to this policy was made in January 2025.
