Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used.

Budgetmend uses cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential operation: Authentication sessions, security (including Firebase App Check), and load balancing
• Preferences: Settings you choose, such as sidebar state or display options
• Analytics: Understanding how visitors and members use our site and app so we can improve features (e.g., PostHog, Firebase Analytics)
• Payments: Stripe may set cookies when you add or update payment methods during in-app billing

Strictly necessary: Required for login, account security, and core functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.

Functional: Remember choices you make to provide a smoother experience.

Analytics: Help us measure traffic and feature usage in aggregate. We configure analytics to minimize identification where possible.

Third parties that may set cookies when you use Budgetmend include:

• Google / Firebase (authentication and analytics)
• Stripe (payment processing)
• Digistore24 (partner checkout and payment processing)
• PostHog or similar analytics providers
• Vercel (hosting and performance)

Each provider's use of data is governed by their own policies.

On budgetmend.com, we show a cookie notice on your first visit. You can accept or decline non-essential analytics cookies. Essential cookies required for login and security cannot be disabled without breaking the Service. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

We may also use browser local storage and session storage for app state and offline-friendly preferences. These work similarly to cookies but store data locally in your browser.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. Check this page for the latest version.
