Understanding how myrathione.com uses tracking technologies to improve your experience and support better budget management tools
Last Updated: January 2025
We believe you deserve to know exactly what happens when you visit myrathione.com. This policy explains the tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience with our budget surplus management platform.
Most financial education platforms rely on various tracking methods. We're no different, but we want to be upfront about it. Some technologies are necessary for the site to work properly. Others help us understand how people interact with our learning resources so we can make improvements.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Small text files get saved to your device when you browse websites. These files help sites remember your preferences and track certain activities. They're commonly called cookies, though there are other tracking methods too.
Think of them as digital sticky notes. When you return to myrathione.com, these notes remind our system about things like your login status or which learning modules you've completed. Without them, you'd need to start fresh every single visit.
Different technologies serve different purposes. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around for months. We'll break down exactly what we use and why in the sections below.
How We Use Tracking on myrathione
Our platform needs certain tracking to function. When you log into your account, we need to remember that you're logged in as you move between pages. That's a basic example of essential tracking.
We also track how people use our educational resources. If everyone abandons a particular lesson halfway through, that tells us something's wrong with that content. Maybe it's too technical, or perhaps the examples don't resonate. This feedback loop helps us create better financial education materials.
Some tracking supports features you might take for granted. When you save a budget calculation or bookmark a learning module, that information gets stored through tracking technologies. It's what makes myrathione.com feel personalized to your financial education path.
Types of Tracking We Employ
Essential Cookies
These make the website actually work. They handle your login sessions, remember your account preferences, and keep your learning progress intact. You can't really disable these if you want to use myrathione.com properly. They typically expire within 24 hours or when you close your browser.
Functional Cookies
These remember choices you make on the site. Things like your preferred currency display format or whether you want simplified or detailed budget views. They stay active for about three months, which seems reasonable for maintaining your preferences without asking you to reset everything constantly.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand patterns in how people engage with our financial education content. Which lessons get completed? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us identify weak spots in our teaching approach. These cookies last up to 12 months.
Marketing Cookies
These track whether you came to myrathione.com from an ad or article we shared. They help us figure out which marketing efforts actually work and which are wasting resources. You can disable these through your browser settings without affecting your ability to use our learning platform.
Specific Examples from Our Platform
Let's get concrete. When you create a budget surplus calculation on myrathione.com, we save that data through session cookies. This lets you navigate away and come back without losing your work. That's an essential cookie doing its job.
If you're working through our learning program on surplus management strategies, we track your progress through the modules. This involves both functional and analytical cookies. The functional ones remember where you left off. The analytical ones tell us aggregate data about completion rates.
When you adjust text size or switch between Australian dollar and other currency displays, functional cookies store those preferences. Without them, every page load would reset to default settings.
Technical Details for Interested Users
+Most of our cookies are first-party, meaning they're set directly by myrathione.com rather than external services. This gives you more privacy compared to sites that rely heavily on third-party tracking.
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have set expiration dates ranging from three months to one year depending on their purpose. We don't use persistent cookies for longer than 12 months.
Our analytical tracking uses anonymized data. We see patterns and trends but can't identify individual users from the analytical data alone. It's aggregated information that shows us things like "200 people viewed this lesson this week" rather than "Heidi Tarrington from Lismore viewed this lesson."
Local storage and similar technologies occasionally supplement cookies for storing larger amounts of data locally. This might include your saved budget templates or calculation history that you want quick access to.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. The exact steps vary, but the concept is the same across all of them. You can block all cookies, accept all cookies, or choose something in between.
Be aware that blocking all cookies will break most website functionality. You won't be able to log into myrathione.com or save any of your learning progress. It's like trying to use a computer with no memory—technically possible but deeply frustrating.
A more practical approach is to allow essential and functional cookies while blocking analytical and marketing ones. This gives you full access to our platform while limiting the tracking you're comfortable with.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We don't keep cookie data indefinitely. As mentioned earlier, our longest-lasting cookies expire after 12 months. Most expire much sooner than that.
You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us through the details below. This includes cookie data associated with your account. Keep in mind that deleting all data will reset your learning progress and saved work on myrathione.com.
Australian privacy regulations give you specific rights about your personal data. You can access what we've collected, request corrections to inaccurate information, or ask us to delete your data entirely. We take these obligations seriously.
- Request a copy of all data associated with your account
- Correct any inaccurate information in our systems
- Delete your account and associated data permanently
- Export your learning progress and budget calculations
- Object to specific types of data processing
- Withdraw consent for non-essential tracking at any time
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our platform evolves. This policy will need updates from time to time to reflect those changes. When we make significant modifications, we'll notify users through email and a banner on the website.
Minor clarifications or additions might happen without notification. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page always shows when we last modified the policy. Check back occasionally if you want to stay informed about any changes.
We're committed to transparent communication about how myrathione.com uses tracking technologies. If something in this policy seems unclear or incomplete, let us know. Your feedback helps us explain these practices more effectively.
