Cookie & Data Usage Policy
Understanding how lythenovaris uses tracking technologies to enhance your budget planning experience
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
When you visit lythenovaris.com, we use various tracking technologies to improve your experience with our budget planning tools. Think of cookies as small digital notes that help our website remember your preferences and provide personalised financial insights.
These technologies include traditional cookies, local storage, session tokens, and analytics pixels. Each serves a specific purpose in making your financial planning journey smoother and more relevant to your Australian market needs.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our budgeting calculators working properly and ensure secure access to your financial planning tools. Without these, basic website functions wouldn't operate.
Functional Cookies
Remember your currency preferences (AUD), budget categories you've customised, and interface settings that make your planning experience more efficient.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand which budget planning features are most useful, so we can improve our tools based on real user behaviour and Australian market trends.
Performance Cookies
Monitor how quickly our calculators load and identify any technical issues that might slow down your financial planning workflow.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to create a more personalised budget planning experience. When you return to lythenovaris.com, we can immediately load your preferred currency settings and remember which financial goals you're working towards.
Specific Ways We Use Your Data:
- Saving your budget templates and category preferences between sessions
- Providing relevant Australian tax information and deduction suggestions
- Remembering your income frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) for accurate calculations
- Suggesting budget adjustments based on seasonal Australian spending patterns
- Optimising page loading times for frequently used planning tools
- Identifying which educational content helps users achieve their financial goals
For instance, if you regularly use our mortgage comparison tool, we'll prioritise showing you updated interest rate information relevant to the Australian market. This personalisation happens automatically without storing sensitive financial details.
Data Retention and Your Control
Most cookies expire within 12 months, though essential function cookies may persist for up to 2 years to maintain your preferences. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised within 26 months.
You maintain complete control over your data. You can delete stored preferences, clear your browsing history, or adjust privacy settings at any time through your browser. These changes take effect immediately across all lythenovaris services.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Any data sharing occurs only with trusted Australian financial service providers to enhance your budget planning tools, and only with your explicit consent.
