What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small data files that websites store on your device to remember your preferences and improve functionality. At addlystream, we use these tools to make your budgeting experience smoother and more personalized.
These technologies help us understand which features are most valuable to our users in South Korea and globally, allowing us to focus development on tools that genuinely help with financial management.
How We Use This Data
We collect usage patterns to improve our minimalist budgeting approach. For example, if users frequently access certain expense categories, we might streamline that process in future updates.
Your financial data remains private and secure. We only track general usage patterns, never specific budget amounts or personal financial information.
Types of Tracking Technologies
Essential Cookies
Required for basic website functionality, including login sessions, security features, and core budgeting tools. These cannot be disabled as they ensure addlystream works properly.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences like currency settings, dashboard layout, and notification preferences. These enhance your experience but aren't strictly necessary for basic functionality.
Analytics Cookies

Marketing Cookies
Used to show relevant content about new budgeting features or financial tips. These cookies help us communicate updates that might benefit your financial management goals.
Data Retention & Your Control
Most tracking data is automatically deleted after 13 months. Essential cookies remain until you log out or clear your browser data. You have complete control over non-essential cookies and can change your preferences at any time by returning to this page.
