When you create budget templates, functional cookies remember your preferred categories and spending allocations. This means you don't have to recreate your budget structure each time you visit our platform.

Analytics tracking helps us identify when users struggle with specific features. For example, if data shows that many people have difficulty with our debt calculation tools, we can create better tutorials or redesign those sections for clarity.
