3. Managing Cookies
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Cookie banner: Clear your browser's local storage for this site and the cookie consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Visit your browser's help pages for instructions.
- Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Bank Statement Data
Your bank statement PDFs are never stored in cookies, local storage, or transmitted to our servers. All PDF parsing happens entirely within your browser. Session storage may temporarily hold parsed transaction data during the current tab session for navigation between pages — this data is automatically cleared when the tab is closed.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
