When you visit our site, small data files get stored on your device. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you navigate our budget reporting features, and improve overall performance. Think of them as digital bookmarks that make your return visits smoother.

We use several types of tracking methods beyond traditional files. Some stay on your device permanently, while others disappear when you close your browser. Each serves a specific purpose in delivering the financial tools you need.

Here's what actually happens behind the scenes. When you customize a budget report, functional tracking saves those settings. Next time you visit, your preferred view loads automatically. No need to recreate filters or reorganize columns.

Analytical tracking shows us which tools get abandoned halfway through. If many users start creating a budget comparison but don't finish, we investigate whether the process is confusing. That feedback loop drives actual improvements.

Beyond standard files, we use local storage for larger data sets like cached budget templates. This keeps frequently used reports accessible even with slower connections. Session storage handles temporary data that doesn't need to persist after you leave.

Pixel tags help us confirm whether emails about account updates actually got opened. This prevents us from sending redundant notifications. Web beacons track page performance metrics that identify loading bottlenecks affecting Taiwan users specifically.

Some tracking comes from external services we integrate for specific functions. Analytics platforms help us understand user behavior patterns. These providers have their own privacy policies that govern data handling outside our direct control.

We carefully vet third-party services before implementation. Only partners meeting strict data protection standards get access. And they can't use your information for purposes beyond what supports linkfeedstream functionality.
