What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit pristaviaqe.com, we use small data files – commonly called cookies – to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help us provide a better budgeting experience.
Most financial websites rely on these technologies. They're what allow our platform to remember your dashboard preferences, keep you logged in securely, and understand which features our UK users find most helpful.
We've designed our tracking approach with transparency in mind. You control which non-essential technologies we can use, though some essential ones are necessary for the site to function properly.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep pristaviaqe.com running smoothly. They handle your login sessions, remember your security preferences, and ensure you can navigate between pages without losing your work. You can't opt out of these because they're critical for basic site functionality.
Functional Cookies
These remember your personal choices – like your preferred currency display or which budget categories you've expanded. They make your experience more convenient but aren't strictly necessary for the site to work.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our budgeting tools. Which features get ignored? Where do users get stuck? This information helps us improve the platform, but the data is aggregated and anonymous.
Marketing Cookies
These track your visit across pristaviaqe.com to build a picture of your interests. They help us show you relevant content about budgeting strategies and financial planning tools that might actually be useful to you.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Personalised Dashboard
When you arrange widgets on your budgeting dashboard or set viewing preferences, cookies remember these choices. Without them, you'd start fresh every time you logged in.
Security and Authentication
Our essential tracking keeps your financial data secure by maintaining your authenticated session. This is why you don't have to log in again every time you click to a different page.
Performance Improvements
Analytical tracking shows us which budgeting tools are slow to load or causing confusion. Over the past year, this data helped us redesign three major features that users were struggling with.
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for set periods (typically 30 days to 2 years)
- First-party cookies are set by pristaviaqe.com directly
- Third-party cookies come from partner services we've integrated
Managing Your Browser Settings
You can control tracking technologies through your browser settings, though this affects all websites you visit, not just pristaviaqe.com. Here's how to adjust settings in common browsers:
Chrome
Navigate to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Select your preferred level of cookie blocking and manage exceptions for specific sites.
Firefox
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. The Custom option lets you block specific tracking types.
Safari
Open Preferences → Privacy. Check "Prevent cross-site tracking" and adjust other cookie settings based on your preferences.
Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Choose which types of cookies to block or clear existing ones.
Note: Blocking all cookies will prevent you from logging into pristaviaqe.com and using essential budgeting features. We recommend using the "Decline All Non-Essential Tracking" button above instead.
Data Retention and Control
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans. Session data disappears when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last a year so we don't forget your settings. Analytical data is typically kept for 26 months before being deleted.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection regulations, you have the right to know what data we collect and how we use it. You can request a copy of your data, ask us to delete it, or object to certain types of processing.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on pristaviaqe.com come from third-party services we use – like analytics platforms or payment processors. These services have their own privacy policies, and we only work with partners who meet our data protection standards.
- Analytics services that help us understand site usage patterns
- Payment processors that handle secure transaction data
- Customer support tools that enable live chat functionality
- Marketing platforms that help us reach people interested in budgeting tools
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in tracking technologies or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through email or a banner on pristaviaqe.com.
This version was last updated in January 2025. We review our tracking practices annually to ensure they remain transparent and respectful of your privacy preferences.
