What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your actions and preferences, measure performance, and improve features. Similar technologies (like local storage and pixels) may be used for the same purposes.
How We Use Cookies
Home Wallet uses cookies to keep the site reliable and helpful for family budgeting. Typical purposes include:
- Essential (required) — enable core functionality such as page navigation, security, and basic accessibility. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Analytics/Performance — help us understand traffic and popular content (e.g., page views, time on page) so we can improve articles and UX. Data is aggregated whenever possible.
- Preferences — remember choices like the acceptance of the cookie banner or newsletter form state to provide a smoother experience.
- Marketing — used only if we run campaigns or sponsored placements that require tracking. We currently do not use targeted advertising cookies; if this changes, we’ll update this page.
Cookie Duration
Cookies may be session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stored for a set period). Retention varies by cookie purpose and provider. We aim to keep durations no longer than necessary.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services (e.g., privacy-minded analytics providers). These partners may collect limited technical data via your browser. We do not control their cookies and recommend reviewing their respective policies.
Managing Your Choices
- Use our cookie banner (if shown) to accept all, reject non-essential, or open settings to adjust categories.
- Control cookies via your browser: block, delete, or limit third-party cookies. Instructions are available in your browser’s help section.
- Opt-out tools from some analytics/ads providers may also be available depending on your region.
Note: Blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Our site does not currently change behavior in response to DNT, but you can manage cookies via the banner or your browser settings.
