Cookies Policy
Money Palava uses a small number of cookies and browser storage technologies. This page explains exactly which ones, and why.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, keep you logged in, and (on many sites, but not ours) track behaviour for advertising.
2. Cookies we use
Essential cookies (always on)
mp_session— keeps you logged in. Expires after 30 days of inactivity.mp_cur— remembers your selected currency.mp_theme— remembers dark or light mode.
Browser localStorage (not technically cookies, but worth mentioning)
mp_d_<userId>— your transaction history. Stored in your browser only.mp_budgets_<userId>— your category budgets.mp_users— registered users on this device.
3. Cookies we do NOT use
- ❌ Advertising cookies
- ❌ Cross-site tracking pixels
- ❌ Third-party analytics that track individual users
- ❌ Social media tracking widgets
4. Third-party cookies
When you upgrade to a paid plan, you are redirected to Stripe's checkout. Stripe sets its own cookies on its own domain — see Stripe's cookie policy for details. We do not control these cookies.
5. Managing cookies
You can clear cookies and localStorage at any time via your browser settings. Note: doing so will sign you out and remove your locally-stored transaction history (we recommend exporting to CSV first via Settings).
