How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies serve specific purposes that directly benefit your financial learning journey. When you return to our site, cookies remember where you left off in our educational modules, so you don't lose progress.
Analytics help us identify which budgeting topics resonate most with Australian users. If we notice many people struggling with mortgage planning content, we can create additional resources to address those specific challenges.
Specific Examples
Your preference for viewing amounts in AUD rather than USD gets saved automatically. The system remembers if you prefer our dark mode interface for late-night budget planning sessions. When you bookmark specific calculator tools, we can suggest similar resources that might help.
