Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At meshnetrelay.com, we believe in being upfront about how we handle your data. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience on our website.
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us remember your preferences and understand how people interact with our financial planning tools.
What We Actually Track
We're not here to collect unnecessary information. Everything we track serves a specific purpose related to making your budget contingency planning experience better or helping us improve our services.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering your session when you're logged in. Without these, basic features wouldn't function.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and settings. If you've adjusted calculator parameters or selected specific currency preferences, these cookies save that information so you don't have to reset everything each visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which resources get used most and where people might be getting stuck. This data helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement in our educational content.
Performance Cookies
These help us monitor page load times and technical performance. When something's running slow, we need to know about it so we can fix it before it affects more users.
How These Work in Practice
Let's say you're working through our contingency budget calculator and you adjust the emergency fund percentage to match your situation. A functional cookie saves that preference. Next time you visit, those settings are still there.
Or maybe you're reading through our planning guides. Analytics cookies tell us which sections people spend time on versus which ones they skip. That feedback loop matters because it shows us what content actually helps people.
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser and handle temporary data like form inputs
- Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period and remember longer-term preferences
- First-party cookies come directly from meshnetrelay.com and support our core functionality
- Third-party cookies come from external services we've integrated, like analytics platforms
Taking Control of Your Data
You're not locked into accepting all cookies. Modern browsers give you quite a bit of control over what gets stored and what doesn't.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will probably break some features. But blocking analytics or marketing cookies? That won't stop you from using our planning tools.
- Check your browser settings for cookie management options
- Clear existing cookies through your browser's privacy settings
- Set up automatic blocking for third-party cookies if you prefer
- Use private browsing mode to prevent any cookie storage during a session
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies a bit differently. Here's where to find the relevant settings in the most common ones:
Data Retention Practices
How Long We Keep Things
Session cookies disappear as soon as you close your browser. They're temporary by design and only exist while you're actively using the site.
Persistent cookies stick around longer. Our preference cookies typically last for 12 months before expiring. Analytics cookies usually have a 24-month lifespan.
We don't keep this data indefinitely. Once a cookie expires, that information is gone. And if you clear your browser's cookie storage, everything disappears immediately regardless of expiration dates.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that place their own cookies. These help us with analytics and performance monitoring, but they're governed by those companies' privacy policies, not just ours.
When you're on our site, you might encounter cookies from analytics platforms or content delivery networks. We vet these services carefully, but you should know they're collecting some data according to their own policies.
- Analytics platforms that track aggregate user behavior across our site
- Performance monitoring tools that help us identify technical issues
- Content delivery networks that speed up page loading times
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our services evolve. Sometimes we need to update how we handle cookies to reflect those changes or to comply with new regulations.
When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For major updates, we might also post a notice on our homepage or send an email to registered users.
Check back here occasionally to stay informed about how we're handling your data. We'll always aim to be transparent about our practices.
