How We Use Tracking Technologies
Understanding what data we collect and why it matters for your experience at ventothatulo
We believe you should know exactly what happens when you visit our website. That's why we're laying out everything about tracking technologies here — no legal jargon, no hidden clauses.
When you browse ventothatulo.com, small text files get stored on your device. These help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our budget planning tools. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us improve your experience.
What Tracking Methods We Use
Essential Operations
These keep the website running. Without them, you can't log in, access secure areas, or use our budget calculators. We can't turn these off because the site simply wouldn't function.
Functional Features
Remember your language choice or which currency you prefer? These handle that. They make your visits smoother by recalling your settings from last time.
Performance Analysis
We track which pages get visited most and where people spend time. This tells us if our budget templates are actually useful or if something needs fixing. All data gets aggregated so we never see individual browsing patterns.
Marketing Connections
These help us show relevant course announcements. If you've looked at our expense tracking module, we might mention it again when you're on other websites. You can decline these entirely.
Specific Examples of What We Track
- Session identification: When you log into your account, we need to remember that across different pages. Otherwise you'd have to sign in again every time you clicked something.
- Form completion: If you're filling out a budget worksheet and accidentally close the tab, we can restore your progress. Nobody wants to start over from scratch.
- Tool preferences: Maybe you always view our cash flow calculator in monthly view instead of weekly. We'll remember that preference for next time.
- Error diagnostics: When something breaks on the website, tracking data helps us understand what went wrong and fix it faster. This doesn't identify you personally.
- Content engagement: We see which articles and resources actually help people. If everyone abandons a particular guide halfway through, that's a sign we need to rewrite it.
Your Control Options
You don't have to accept everything. While essential functions need to stay active, you can decline analytical and marketing tracking right now.
Managing Through Your Browser
Open your browser settings menu — usually found in the top right corner under three dots or lines.
Look for Privacy, Security, or Site Settings. Different browsers organize this differently, but it's always somewhere in the main settings.
Find the section about data storage or tracking. You'll see options to block third-party tracking or clear existing data.
Choose your preferred level. Most browsers let you block everything, allow everything, or pick specific sites. Blocking all tracking might break some website features.
How Long We Keep This Data
Session tracking disappears when you close your browser. It's temporary by design.
Preference settings stick around for up to 12 months. After a year of not visiting, we figure your preferences might have changed anyway.
Analytics data gets anonymized after 90 days and deleted entirely after 26 months. We're looking at trends, not tracking individuals over years.
Marketing connections last 30 days typically. If you looked at our business budgeting course in January, we won't still be mentioning it to you in March unless you've shown continued interest.
