When you visit zelanarion.com, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our flexible budgeting platform. Think of these as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.

These technologies include cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tools. They're small files that store information about your browsing behaviour. Some stay on your device temporarily, while others remain longer to remember your settings between visits.

We don't use these tools to spy on you or collect personal secrets. Instead, they help us understand which budgeting features are most helpful, how users navigate our site, and what improvements we should make to better serve Australian families managing their finances.

Our tracking approach focuses on making your budgeting experience smoother and more personalised. When you return to our site, we can remember your budget categories, preferred currency display, and dashboard layout without you having to set everything up again.

We track which budgeting tools get used most frequently. This data helps us understand whether features like expense categorisation or savings goal tracking are genuinely helpful to Australian households. If something isn't working well, these insights guide our improvements.

Analytics data shows us patterns - like which pages cause confusion or where people typically exit the site. This information is invaluable for creating a more intuitive platform. We also use tracking to ensure our security systems can identify and prevent fraudulent activity on your account.

Different tracking technologies serve different purposes on our platform. Here's how we categorise and use each type:

You have complete control over how tracking technologies work on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies according to your preferences. However, blocking certain types may affect how well our budgeting platform works for you.

If you disable functional tracking, you'll need to reset your preferences each time you visit. Analytical tracking can be disabled without affecting core functionality, though this prevents us from improving the platform based on user behaviour patterns.

Smart tracking makes our budgeting platform more intuitive and helpful. When you create a budget category for "Groceries," our system remembers this preference and can suggest similar categories for other users. This collective learning improves everyone's experience.

Security tracking helps protect your financial data by identifying unusual login patterns or suspicious activity. If someone tries accessing your account from an unexpected location or device, our tracking systems can flag this for additional verification.

Performance tracking identifies slow-loading pages or features that aren't working smoothly. This technical data helps our development team optimise the platform, ensuring your budget calculations and reports load quickly and accurately.

Educational content tracking shows us which financial literacy resources are most helpful to Australian users. This guides our content development, helping us create more relevant budgeting guides and financial planning tools.

We don't keep tracking data indefinitely. Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose and legal requirements. Here's our standard retention timeline:

You can request deletion of your tracking data at any time by contacting our support team. We'll process these requests within 30 days, though some data may need to be retained for security or legal compliance purposes.
