Understanding how tyrkolcollective tracks and manages your data

Last updated: March 15, 2025

What Are Cookies and How We Use Them

At tyrkolcollective, we're committed to transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit our website at tyrkolcollective.com. This policy explains our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies that help us deliver a better budgeting experience tailored to your needs.

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you browse. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our personal budgeting platform. When you return to tyrkolcollective, these cookies help us recognize your device and provide a more personalized experience.

We use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms. These tools work together to help us analyze website performance, understand user behavior patterns, and improve our budgeting tools based on real user data.

Types of Tracking Technologies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are crucial for basic website functionality. They enable core features like secure login, session management, and access to protected areas of your budgeting dashboard. Without these cookies, tyrkolcollective cannot function properly.

Functional Cookies

These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, language settings, and customization choices. They help us provide personalized budgeting recommendations and maintain your preferred interface settings across sessions.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand how visitors interact with our budgeting tools. They help us identify popular features, track user journeys, and measure the effectiveness of our financial education content, enabling continuous improvement of our services.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies help us deliver relevant content and advertisements based on your interests and browsing behavior. They track your engagement with our budgeting resources and enable us to show you personalized financial tips and product recommendations.

How Tracking Enhances Your Budgeting Experience

Our tracking technologies serve specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with tyrkolcollective's budgeting platform. When you create budget categories, our functional cookies remember your preferences, so you don't have to reconfigure your dashboard each time you visit.

Analytics data helps us understand which budgeting features are most valuable to our South African users. For instance, if we notice many users spending significant time on our debt management tools, we can develop more comprehensive resources in that area. This data-driven approach ensures we're building features that genuinely help people achieve their financial goals.

Marketing cookies enable us to show you relevant content based on your interests. If you frequently access our savings goal features, we might display articles about investment strategies suitable for the South African market or highlight new tools that complement your savings approach.

Your Data, Your Control

We believe you should have complete control over your data. You can modify your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or by contacting our support team directly.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling how cookies and tracking technologies work on your device when visiting tyrkolcollective. Most modern browsers give you granular control over cookie settings, allowing you to block specific types while keeping others active.

Browser Configuration Options:

  • Block all cookies (may affect website functionality)
  • Allow only essential cookies for basic site operations
  • Accept cookies from trusted sites like tyrkolcollective while blocking others
  • Receive notifications before cookies are stored
  • Automatically delete cookies when you close your browser
  • Set specific expiration periods for different cookie types

Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may impact your experience with tyrkolcollective's budgeting tools. For example, functional cookies that remember your budget categories and preferences will need to be re-enabled each time you visit if you choose to block them.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of data are retained for varying periods based on their purpose and legal requirements in South Africa. We follow strict data retention policies to ensure we only keep information as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes.

Session Cookies
Deleted when you close your browser
Functional Cookies
Retained for up to 12 months
Analytics Data
Aggregated data kept for 24 months
Marketing Cookies
Expire after 6 months of inactivity

We regularly review our data retention practices and delete information that's no longer needed. When you delete your tyrkolcollective account, we remove your personal data according to our deletion schedule, though some anonymized analytics data may be retained for business intelligence purposes.

Third-Party Tracking and Partnerships

Some tracking technologies on tyrkolcollective are provided by third-party partners who help us deliver better services. These partners may include analytics providers, advertising networks, and financial service integrators who work with us to enhance your budgeting experience.

Third-party cookies are subject to their respective privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We carefully select partners who maintain high data protection standards and comply with South African privacy regulations. However, we cannot control how these partners use cookies on their own websites.

If you prefer to limit third-party tracking, most browsers offer settings to block third-party cookies while still allowing first-party cookies from tyrkolcollective. This approach maintains most of our website functionality while reducing external tracking.

Updates to This Policy

As tyrkolcollective evolves and introduces new features, our cookie usage may change. We'll update this policy to reflect any significant changes in how we use tracking technologies. When we make substantial updates, we'll notify users through email or prominent website notices.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when we most recently modified the policy content.

Your continued use of tyrkolcollective after policy updates indicates acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you can adjust your cookie settings or contact us to discuss your concerns.
