Understanding how we use tracking technologies at priontharex
Last updated: March 2025
We believe in transparency. This policy explains how priontharex.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to help you understand what data we collect and why we collect it.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve your experience with our weekly budgeting tools and educational resources.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Think of cookies as digital bookmarks. When you visit priontharex.com, we place small files on your browser that remember things about your visit. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around to remember you next time (persistent cookies).
These files don't contain personal information like your name or address. Instead, they store things like your language preference, whether you've accepted our terms, or which pages you've visited. This helps us deliver a smoother experience without asking you the same questions repeatedly.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons and pixel tags. These are tiny, transparent images embedded in our pages that help us understand which content resonates with our Australian audience and which areas need improvement.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our website functioning properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure access to your account, and form submissions. Without these, our budgeting tools simply won't work. You can't opt out of essential cookies if you want to use our services effectively.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. If you've set your currency to AUD or chosen a specific dashboard layout, functional cookies make sure those settings persist across sessions. They enhance your experience but aren't strictly necessary for the site to operate.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with priontharex.com. Which learning modules are most popular? Where do people get stuck in our budget calculator? This data helps us refine our educational content and make our tools more intuitive for Australian households managing weekly finances.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing patterns to show you relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. If you've shown interest in our advanced budgeting workshops, we might display related resources. These cookies also prevent you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Honestly? Because it makes priontharex.com better for everyone. Here's what we're actually doing with this data:
- Remembering your login status so you don't have to sign in every time you visit
- Keeping track of items in your educational resource downloads
- Understanding which budget templates work best for Queensland households versus those in other states
- Identifying technical issues before they affect more users
- Measuring whether our new weekly planning features actually help people stick to their budgets
- Personalizing learning recommendations based on your financial goals
We're not interested in invasive tracking. The goal is straightforward: create financial education resources that genuinely help Australians take control of their weekly spending.
You're In Control
You decide which cookies you're comfortable with. Most browsers let you manage cookie settings, and we respect whatever choices you make.
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect functionality. If you disable functional cookies, you'll need to reset your preferences each visit. Blocking analytical cookies means we'll have less insight into improving our tools.

How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around for varying periods depending on their purpose. Most of our functional cookies last for 12 months, while analytical cookies typically expire after 24 months.
We regularly review and delete data we no longer need. If you haven't visited priontharex.com in over two years, we'll clear your stored preferences. You're always welcome back, but you'll start fresh.
You can manually clear cookies anytime through your browser settings. This immediately removes all stored data from your device, though it won't affect information we've already processed in our analytics systems.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on priontharex.com come from external services we use to deliver better functionality. For example, if we embed a video tutorial, the video platform might set its own cookies. We've carefully selected service providers who share our commitment to data protection.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We don't control their cookies, but we only work with reputable companies that operate within Australian privacy regulations.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and we're constantly improving our services. When we update this cookie policy, we'll revise the date at the top and notify you if changes significantly affect how we handle your data.
We recommend checking this page periodically, especially if you haven't visited in a while. Continued use of priontharex.com after policy updates means you accept the changes.
Questions About Our Cookie Usage?
We're here to help clarify anything that seems confusing. Data privacy isn't always straightforward, and we'd rather answer your questions than leave you uncertain about how we handle your information.
