Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. We also use similar technologies such as local storage. In this policy we call them all “cookies”. Some are essential for the site to work; others are optional and only used if you allow them.

We group cookies into four categories:

Cookie categories used by Balance

The app also keeps your settings and an encrypted copy of your data on this device so it opens fast and works offline.balance_session (httpOnly sign-in cookie, 30 days); balance.cookie-consent (your choice, with its date and the policy version, in local storage); app settings; encrypted offline cacheNo

Balance sets no third-party cookies. If we add a cookie or tracker, we will list it here first.

Optional cookies are off until you turn them on. You can change your mind at any time, and it applies immediately:

  • choose Cookie settings at the bottom of any page (or Settings → Your data in the app), or use the panel at the top of this page;
  • block or delete cookies in your browser settings (some parts of the site may stop working); or
  • turn on Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track in your browser: we treat either as “Reject optional”, and analytics stays off.

Your choice is stored on this device and browser only, so on another device you will be asked again. Clearing your browser data also clears it.

Balance does not show ads and does not allow advertising networks to track you on our site. We never use cookies to sell your data. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
