1. About This Document
This Policy describes what cookies and similar technologies may be used on the BUDGETER AI website and services (hereinafter - "Service"), why they are needed, and how you can manage settings. If you use the mobile application, similar technologies may be used instead of cookies, such as SDK identifiers or local storage.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files that are saved in your browser when you visit a website. They help recognize your device/browser, save selected settings, and ensure security. In addition to cookies, we may use:
- localStorage / sessionStorage (web) — for storing settings;
- pixels/tags (web) — for measuring effectiveness (if enabled);
- SDK identifiers and tokens (mobile application) — for functionality, analytics or notifications (if enabled).
3. Who Uses Cookies
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) and/or by our service providers (third-party cookies) who help provide the Service (e.g., infrastructure, analytics, payments). A list of provider categories and (if necessary) a list of sub-processors can be placed on a separate "Subprocessors" page.
4. Cookie Categories
We divide cookies into categories. In the cookie management interface (banner/settings), you can accept or reject optional categories.
4.1. Essential
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website and personal account: authentication, security, abuse prevention, load balancing, session storage. Such cookies usually do not require consent, as the Service cannot work correctly without them.
4.2. Functional (Preferences)
Help remember your settings (e.g., language, region, selected interface parameters). Depending on jurisdiction and implementation, they may be used on the basis of legitimate interest or with consent.
4.3. Analytics
Used to understand how users interact with the Service (e.g., which screens are opened more often, where errors occur) and improve the product. In the EU and in most cases, consent is required for analytics cookies.
4.4. Marketing
Used for advertising, retargeting and measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Marketing cookies are only enabled with your consent (if such functionality is used).
5. Cookie and Consent Management
On your first visit to the website (or after clearing cookies), you will see a banner with options. You can accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or configure categories.
Management Methods:
- Cookie banner on the website: "Accept", "Reject", "Configure".
- Cookie management center: [[/cookie-preferences]] (or footer link "Cookie preferences").
- Browser settings: you can delete or block cookies. Note that this may disrupt the website functionality.
If you withdraw consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before the withdrawal. After changing your choice, some cookies may be deleted automatically, while others — after expiration or after clearing in the browser.

Depending on the type of cookies, the legal basis may be: (1) necessity to provide the Service (for essential cookies), (2) our legitimate interest (e.g., security and abuse prevention), (3) your consent (for analytics and marketing cookies, where required).
