1 What
Are Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files stored on your
device when you visit ryxalivone.com. Think of them
as digital bookmarks that help us remember your
preferences and improve how our spreadsheet
tools work for you. We use several types of
tracking technologies beyond traditional
cookies, including web beacons, pixel tags, and
local storage mechanisms.
When you're working with complex financial
spreadsheets on our platform, these technologies
help us remember your customised dashboard
settings, preferred calculation methods, and
recently accessed templates. This means you
don't have to reconfigure everything each time
you return to create budgets or analyse your
financial data.
We never store sensitive financial data in
cookies – only preferences and session
information that enhance your user
experience.
2 Types
of Tracking We Implement
Essential Functionality
These keep our financial tools working
properly. They remember if you're logged
in, maintain your session while you're
building spreadsheets, and ensure secure
data transmission. Without these, our
platform simply wouldn't function.
Performance Analytics
We track how people navigate through our
spreadsheet templates and which financial
planning features get used most. This
helps us identify which tools are
genuinely helpful versus those that might
need improvement.
User Preference Storage
Your customised dashboard layout,
preferred currency formats, and favourite
calculation templates are stored locally.
This makes returning to your financial
work feel seamless rather than starting
from scratch each time.
Educational Content Tracking
When you access our financial education
resources or tutorial content, we track
progress through lessons and bookmark
where you left off. This creates a more
personalised learning experience.
3 How
Tracking Enhances Your Financial Management
Here's what this actually means for your
day-to-day experience with ryxalivone. When you
create a monthly budget spreadsheet, we remember
the categories you use most frequently – like
housing, utilities, or discretionary spending.
Next time you start a new budget, those
categories appear ready to use instead of
requiring manual setup.
- Your preferred chart types for
visualising expense trends automatically load
in new projects
- Recently used formulas and calculation
methods stay accessible in your toolbar
- Template preferences carry forward, so
you spend less time on setup and more on
analysis
- Educational progress through our
financial literacy modules gets bookmarked
and resumed
- Dashboard widgets arrange themselves
according to your usage patterns
We also use this data to spot common pain
points. If lots of users struggle with a
particular formula or spend excessive time
formatting charts, that tells us where to focus
improvement efforts. Your usage patterns help
shape a better product for everyone.

Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You control how much tracking occurs through
your browser settings. Most browsers offer
granular control over different types of cookies
and data storage. Here's how to adjust these
settings in popular browsers:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
and other site data. Choose from "Allow
all cookies," "Block third-party cookies,"
or "Block all cookies."
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and
Site Data. Select standard, strict, or
custom tracking protection levels.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website
Data. Block all cookies, allow from
current website only, or allow from
visited websites.
Edge
Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and
site data. Choose to block all, allow all,
or block third-party cookies specifically.
5 Data
Retention and Your Control Options
Most preference data stays on your device until
you clear it manually or set your browser to
auto-delete after a specified period. Session
cookies disappear when you close your browser,
while persistent cookies remain until their
expiration date or until you remove them.
For analytics data we collect, we typically
retain aggregated usage patterns for 24 months
to identify long-term trends in how people use
financial planning tools. Individual session
data gets anonymised after 90 days. You can
request deletion of any personally identifiable
tracking data at any time by contacting our
support team.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will
affect functionality. You'll need to log in
repeatedly, reconfigure your dashboard each
visit, and lose access to personalised features
that make financial spreadsheet work more
efficient. Most users find that allowing
first-party cookies while blocking third-party
tracking provides a good balance.
