Tracking Technologies Disclosure
This documentation examines how virelonquira.com collects data through browser-based mechanisms and related technologies. We're describing what happens when you interact with our financial control platform—what gets stored, what information flows to us, and which third parties receive signals about your visit.
Understanding these mechanisms helps you make informed choices. Some tracking supports functionality you need. Other components serve our analytics or marketing interests. The distinction matters because your control options differ depending on technology type.
What Drives Our Approach
Tracking exists to serve two masters: operational necessity and business optimization. We prioritize the former while being transparent about the latter. When technology serves essential functions—maintaining your login, remembering your language preference, securing transactions—we implement it with minimal data collection.
Analytics and marketing technologies occupy different territory. They help us understand user behaviour, measure campaign effectiveness, and refine our platform. But they're not required for basic functionality. That's why we separate essential from optional tracking and give you meaningful control over the latter.
Our philosophy: collect what serves clear purposes, document everything we deploy, and respect your decisions about optional tracking technologies.
Session Cookies
These temporary data packets maintain your authenticated state while you navigate our platform. They disappear when you close your browser.
Without session cookies, you'd need to log in again with every page click. They're the foundation of secure, stateful web interactions.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device between visits, storing preferences and recognition data. Duration varies from weeks to years depending on specific purpose.
They remember your dashboard layout, selected currency, notification preferences—choices you've made that improve subsequent visits.
Local Storage Objects
Similar to cookies but with larger capacity and different expiration behavior. We use these for storing draft entries, cached calculations, and temporary workspace data.
Unlike cookies, these don't automatically transmit to our servers with every request. They persist until explicitly cleared.
Analytics Pixels
Invisible image elements that fire when pages load, sending data about visits, referral sources, and user paths through our site.
These help us understand which features attract usage and where users encounter friction in their financial control workflows.
Third-Party Scripts
Code loaded from external domains that powers specific functionality—payment processing, chat support, analytics platforms.
Each introduces its own tracking behaviour. We vet partners carefully, but their data practices operate under their respective privacy policies.
Fingerprinting Elements
Technical characteristics of your browser and device configuration that create a probabilistic identifier. We use these minimally, primarily for fraud detection.
This isn't cookie-based tracking. It analyzes fonts, screen resolution, plugin combinations—aspects harder to control through browser settings.
Why These Technologies Exist
- Authentication Management: Maintaining secure login states across page transitions while timing out inactive sessions to protect account access.
- Preference Persistence: Storing interface choices, notification settings, display configurations so you don't reconfigure the platform with every visit.
- Transaction Security: Detecting anomalous patterns, verifying legitimate account access, preventing unauthorized actions through behavioural analysis.
- Performance Optimization: Understanding load times, identifying slow components, prioritizing infrastructure improvements based on actual usage patterns.
- Feature Analytics: Measuring which tools get used, which workflows cause confusion, which capabilities justify ongoing development investment.
- Marketing Attribution: Connecting visitors to referral sources, measuring campaign effectiveness, optimizing acquisition spending across channels.
- Customer Support: Enabling chat functionality, maintaining conversation context, providing support staff visibility into your reported issues.
Essential Operations
These technologies make the platform functional. Authentication cookies that maintain your login. Security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery. Session storage that remembers your current workflow state.
Disabling these breaks core functionality. You can't access your account, complete transactions, or maintain work across page transitions. That's why they operate regardless of consent preferences—they're technical requirements, not optional tracking.
We design essential technologies to collect minimal data, expire promptly when no longer needed, and serve only operational purposes.
Optional Enhancements
Analytics cookies that measure feature usage. Marketing pixels that attribute visits to campaigns. Preference cookies that remember non-essential interface choices.
The platform works without these. You lose convenience features and we lose visibility into user behaviour, but core financial control capabilities remain intact.
This is where your consent matters. You can disable optional tracking through browser settings or our consent management interface, and the platform continues functioning.
Your Control Options
Browser-Level Management
Every modern browser lets you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, prevent storage access. Settings locations vary, but capability exists across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. This is the most comprehensive control method—it affects all sites, not just virelonquira.com.
Private Browsing Mode
Incognito windows and private sessions prevent persistent storage. Everything clears when you close the window. Useful for testing the platform without creating tracking history, though you'll need to log in each session.
Extensions and Add-Ons
Privacy-focused browser extensions block tracking scripts, prevent pixel loading, limit fingerprinting techniques. Tools like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or Ghostery give granular control over which third parties can operate.
Platform Consent Settings
Within virelonquira.com account preferences, you'll find toggles for optional analytics and marketing cookies. These affect what we deploy server-side but don't control third-party scripts your browser has already loaded from other sites.
Do Not Track Signals
Browser-sent preferences indicating you don't want tracking. Industry adoption remains inconsistent—some parties honor these signals, others don't. We respect DNT for our first-party analytics but can't guarantee third-party compliance.
What Tracking Means for Your Experience
Essential cookies create the continuity you expect from web applications. You click "Login," enter credentials, then navigate freely without re-authenticating. That requires session management cookies. You set your dashboard to display AUD instead of USD—persistent storage remembers that choice.
Optional tracking shapes what we know about usage patterns. Analytics cookies tell us that mobile users abandon complex workflows at higher rates, prompting interface simplification. Marketing pixels reveal which referral sources attract users who actually adopt the platform versus those who bounce immediately.
The trade-off: more tracking gives us better product insights but reveals more about your behaviour. Less tracking preserves privacy but reduces our ability to optimize the experience based on actual usage data.
Some features degrade without certain cookies. Chat support can't maintain conversation context without session storage. Saved filters and custom views require persistent cookies. Multi-step workflows need temporary data storage. We design the platform to function with minimal tracking, but convenience features often depend on data persistence.
Data Lifecycle Journey
Initial Deployment
When you first visit virelonquira.com, your browser receives cookie-setting instructions. Essential cookies activate immediately. Optional tracking waits for consent signals or operates based on default browser permissions.
Active Collection
Throughout your session, cookies transmit with each server request. Analytics scripts fire on page transitions. Local storage accumulates draft data and preference changes. Third-party pixels notify external platforms about your visit.
Storage Period
Session cookies vanish when your browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date—30 days for analytics, one year for preferences, two years for marketing attribution. Local storage persists indefinitely until manually cleared.
Data Utilization
Collected information feeds into authentication systems, analytics dashboards, marketing attribution reports, and product development prioritization. Different tracking types serve different internal purposes.
Expiration and Deletion
Cookies expire based on predetermined lifespans. You can manually delete them through browser settings. We purge server-side tracking data according to retention policies—typically 24 months for analytics, 36 months for marketing attribution.
External Technology Partners
virelonquira's platform integrates services from external providers. Payment processors, analytics platforms, customer support tools—each introduces its own tracking mechanisms operating under separate privacy policies.
We select partners based on functionality requirements and their data protection practices. But once their scripts load in your browser, they operate with significant autonomy. They may set their own cookies, collect device data, and transmit information to their servers.
Key third parties currently deployed: Stripe for payment processing, Intercom for customer support chat, Google Analytics for usage measurement. Each maintains distinct privacy documentation detailing their data practices. We can't fully control what they collect—only whether we integrate their services in the first place.
You can block specific third-party domains through browser extensions or network-level filtering. This may disable certain features but prevents those parties from tracking your virelonquira.com usage.
What You Can Demand
Access to stored cookie data associated with your account. Deletion of non-essential tracking information. Opt-out from optional analytics and marketing cookies. Clarity about what tracking technologies operate on our platform.
Australian privacy regulations give you specific rights regarding data collection. We honor these within the technical constraints of web technology—some functions require certain tracking to operate at all.
Request tracking data deletion through account settings or by contacting help@virelonquira.com. We'll clear optional cookies and purge associated analytics data within 30 days.
What We Commit To
Documenting all tracking technologies we deploy. Distinguishing essential from optional mechanisms. Providing functional control options. Respecting opt-out preferences where technically feasible.
We commit to transparency about what data flows where. We'll notify you when we add new tracking technologies or change how existing mechanisms operate. We won't use essential cookies for marketing purposes.
Our obligation: maintain platform functionality while minimizing unnecessary tracking and respecting your control preferences within technical boundaries.
When This Documentation Changes
Tracking technologies evolve. We add new analytics tools, integrate different service providers, or respond to privacy regulations with updated mechanisms. Each change potentially affects what data gets collected and how it moves through our systems.
Material modifications to tracking practices trigger documentation updates and user notification. We'll display prominent notices about significant changes—new third-party integrations, expanded data collection, altered retention periods.
Minor technical adjustments happen without individual notification. Upgrading an analytics platform version, rotating security tokens, or optimizing cookie structure for performance—these maintain existing data practices without expanding collection scope.
Check this page periodically to understand current tracking mechanisms. The last update date appears at the top. Substantial revisions include change summaries highlighting what's different.
