Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
This policy explains how xenalithor.com uses tracking technologies to help you get the most from our budget calendar planning services. We believe in being upfront about what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that sit on your device when you browse websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. They can't harm your computer or access files on your system.
When you come to xenalithor.com, we use these files to remember your preferences, understand which features you find helpful, and make sure the site works smoothly. Some cookies stick around for a while, others disappear when you close your browser.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running properly. Without them, basic features like moving between pages or accessing secure areas wouldn't work. You can't really turn these off if you want to use our services.
Functional Cookies
These remember choices you make, like your preferred currency view or whether you want budget tips displayed. They make your experience more personal without storing sensitive information.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which sections people find most useful and where folks might be getting stuck. This helps us improve the planning tools and resources we offer.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across xenalithor.com to show you relevant content about budget planning features. We don't sell this data, and we keep it connected only to our services.
How This Actually Helps You
Here's what tracking does for your experience on our site:
- Saves your settings: Your dashboard layout preferences, notification choices, and display options stay consistent across sessions.
- Remembers your progress: If you're setting up a budget calendar and need to step away, we'll keep your place so you don't start from scratch.
- Shows relevant resources: Based on which planning tools you use, we'll suggest related articles or features that might be useful.
- Keeps things secure: Essential cookies help verify your login status and protect your account information during your session.
- Improves our service: Understanding which features get used most helps us focus development where it matters.
Your Data, Your Control
We don't collect personally identifiable information through cookies without your explicit consent. Most of what we track is aggregated usage patterns that help us make xenalithor.com better.
If you've created an account with us, cookies help link your preferences to your profile so everything works smoothly when you log in from different devices.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're always in charge. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Here's a quick rundown of what you can do:
- Open your browser settings or preferences menu
- Look for the privacy or security section
- Find cookie management options
- Choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete existing ones
- Save your changes and restart your browser if needed
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might affect how xenalithor.com works. Some features require cookies to function properly, especially anything involving your saved preferences or account access.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we work with other services to provide features on xenalithor.com. For example, if we embed a financial calculator or budget tracking widget from a trusted partner, that service might set its own cookies.
We're careful about who we partner with and only work with services that respect user privacy. However, these third parties have their own cookie policies, and we'd recommend checking those if you're curious about their specific practices.
How Long We Keep Cookies
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session and preferences |

We regularly review and clean up stored cookie data to keep only what's actually useful. You can delete cookies from your browser at any time, which will reset your preferences on xenalithor.com.
Mobile Apps and Other Tracking
If you use our mobile app for budget planning, we use similar tracking technologies that aren't technically "cookies" but serve the same purpose. These help the app remember your settings and provide a smooth experience.
You can manage these through your device settings under app permissions. We're transparent about what data we collect through mobile apps and give you control over what you share.

We update this policy occasionally to reflect new features or changes in how we handle cookies. Whenever we make significant changes, we'll let you know through a notification on the site or via email if you have an account with us.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last updated the policy. It's worth checking back now and then, especially if cookie management is important to you.
