Understanding How We Use Tracking Technologies
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies
mervanqielo uses various tracking technologies on our platform to enhance your experience with budget deviation analysis tools. These small data files work quietly in the background, helping us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our financial planning features.
Think of cookies as digital bookmarks - they store information about your visits so we can personalise your dashboard settings and remember which budget categories you've been working with. We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage technologies that serve similar purposes.
Our tracking systems collect data about page visits, feature usage patterns, and technical information like browser type and screen resolution. This information helps us improve our budget analysis algorithms and make the platform more intuitive for Australian businesses managing their financial deviations.
