Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit jdfinda.com, we use various tracking technologies to enhance your experience and improve our services. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our platform. But cookies aren't the only tracking method we employ – we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to gather insights about your browsing behavior.

These technologies work behind the scenes to make your financial planning journey smoother. They remember whether you're logged in, keep track of items in your budget worksheets, and help us understand which features you find most valuable. Think of them as digital assistants that help personalize your experience on our budget control platform.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking technologies work specifically to improve your financial planning experience. When you're working on budget calculations, cookies ensure your data stays secure and accessible across sessions. If you're comparing different budget scenarios, our system remembers your progress so you don't lose your work.

Analytics help us identify which educational resources are most helpful to users struggling with specific financial challenges. For instance, if we notice many users spending time on debt reduction tools, we can create more targeted content and improve those features. This creates a feedback loop that benefits our entire community of users seeking better budget control.

Data Retention and Your Control

Different types of tracking data have different lifespans on our systems. Essential cookies typically last for your browsing session or up to 30 days for security purposes. Preference cookies might stick around for up to a year so you don't have to reset your dashboard every time you visit. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized, then stored for up to 26 months to help us identify long-term trends in user behavior.

You have complete control over these tracking technologies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this might affect some functionality on our platform. You can also opt out of analytics tracking while still enjoying full access to our budget control tools. We believe in giving you choices about your digital privacy.

Managing Your Browser Settings

Third-Party Tracking

Sometimes we work with trusted partners who provide additional services like secure payment processing or educational content delivery. These partners might use their own tracking technologies when you interact with their services through our platform. We carefully vet these partners to ensure they meet our privacy standards, but they operate under their own privacy policies.

For example, if you choose to connect external bank accounts for budget tracking, that connection goes through secure third-party services that have their own cookie and tracking policies. We recommend reviewing these policies when you encounter third-party services, especially those handling financial data.

Updates and Changes

As we improve our platform and add new features, our use of tracking technologies might evolve. We'll update this policy whenever significant changes occur and notify active users through email or in-platform notifications. Minor updates, like adding new educational tracking for improved user experience, might happen without individual notification but will always be reflected in this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially if you have specific privacy concerns or if you notice changes in how our platform behaves. Your continued use of Thinkaris Glow indicates acceptance of any policy updates, but we're always here to answer questions about how these changes might affect your experience.
