What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you visit zantherialos.com, we use various technologies to collect information that helps us provide better services. Think of cookies as small digital notes that remember your preferences — like when you return to a website and it remembers your language setting.

These technologies aren't just cookies, though. We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tools that work behind the scenes. They're completely normal parts of how modern websites function, and you'll find them on virtually every site you visit.

For zantherialos's financial automation platform, this information helps us understand which features work best for Australian businesses and where we might need to make improvements. It's particularly important since financial software needs to be both secure and user-friendly.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Our tracking also helps with security. If someone tries to access your account from an unusual location or device, we can flag this for additional verification. This is especially important for financial software where security breaches could be costly.

Analytics data shows us where users spend the most time in our automation workflows. If we notice people consistently getting stuck at a particular step, we redesign that part of the interface. Last year, this approach helped us reduce setup time for new automations by about 40%.

For Australian businesses specifically, tracking helps us understand local needs. We've learned that GST calculation features get heavy use around BAS lodgement periods, so we ensure those systems have extra capacity during peak times.

Data Retention Periods

Different types of information have different retention periods based on their purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while security logs are kept longer to help us identify patterns in suspicious activity.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

What Happens When You Block Cookies

You can absolutely use zantherialos.com with cookies disabled, but some features won't work as smoothly. You'll need to log in more frequently, and the system won't remember your dashboard preferences or automation settings between sessions.

Essential security cookies can't be disabled if you want to use our financial automation tools — they're necessary for secure data transmission and session management. But you can control marketing and analytics cookies through your browser settings.

Third-Party Integration

zantherialos integrates with various financial institutions and accounting software providers. When you connect your bank accounts or accounting systems, some additional cookies may be set by these third parties to maintain secure connections.

We don't control these third-party cookies, but we only work with providers who meet Australian financial services security standards. This includes major banks, accounting software like Xero and MYOB, and payment processors that comply with Australian financial regulations.

If you're concerned about third-party tracking, most modern browsers offer enhanced tracking protection that can limit cross-site cookie sharing while still allowing the integrations you need for financial automation to function properly.
