Cookie and Tracking Policy
Last updated: March 2025
We're straightforward about how doraliqenra.com uses tracking technologies. This policy explains what data we collect through cookies and similar tools, why we need them, and how you can control your preferences. Everything here applies specifically to visitors accessing our financial education platform from Australia and beyond.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help the site remember who you are and what you were doing. They've been around since the mid-1990s and honestly, most of the internet wouldn't work properly without them.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call those session cookies). Others stick around for months or even years (persistent cookies). Both types serve different purposes on doraliqenra.com, and we'll walk you through exactly what we use.
The Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't log in, navigate between pages securely, or access member areas. We don't ask permission for these because they're absolutely necessary for the platform to work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences like language settings, display options, and which learning modules you've already completed. They make your experience smoother by saving choices you've made during previous visits.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our educational content. Which resources get the most attention? Where do visitors spend their time? This helps us improve course materials and identify technical issues faster.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site to show you relevant information about programs that might interest you. They also help us measure whether our outreach efforts are actually reaching the right audience.
What We Actually Track
- Pages you visit and how long you spend reading different sections
- Links you click and resources you download from our library
- Technical information like browser type, screen size, and connection speed
- Whether you came from a search engine, social media, or another website
- Your progress through learning modules and assessment completion
- Form submissions and interaction with course enquiry tools
- General location data (city level, nothing more specific than that)
We don't track personally identifiable information through cookies unless you've logged into your account. Even then, we only connect activity data to your profile to show you personalized learning recommendations and save your progress.
Detailed Tracking Technologies
Beyond standard cookies, we also use pixel tags and web beacons. These are tiny transparent images embedded in pages that tell us when content has been viewed. Email newsletters from doraliqenra.com sometimes include these so we know which topics generate the most interest.
Local storage and session storage work similarly to cookies but can hold more information. We use them to cache course materials so pages load faster on repeat visits. This data stays on your device and never gets sent to our servers unless you actively submit something through a form.
Some third-party services we work with (like video hosting platforms for instructional content) might set their own cookies when you interact with embedded media. We don't control those directly, but we've vetted each provider to ensure they meet reasonable privacy standards.
How Long Data Sticks Around
Session Cookies
Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for login sessions and temporary navigation.
Short-Term Cookies (30 days)
Remember recent preferences and track current marketing campaigns. These help us understand immediate user behaviour patterns.
Medium-Term Cookies (6-12 months)
Store settings and track longer engagement patterns. Most of our functional and analytics cookies fall into this category.
Long-Term Cookies (up to 2 years)
Used primarily for understanding returning visitor behaviour and long-term learning journey analytics across multiple program enrolments.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You've got several options for managing tracking on doraliqenra.com. Most modern browsers let you block cookies entirely, though this will break some site functionality. A better approach is usually to block just third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Clearing your cookies will log you out of doraliqenra.com and reset all your preferences. Your account data and learning progress stays safe on our servers though.
Third-Party Services
We integrate with a handful of external services that help us deliver better educational content. Each one uses its own tracking mechanisms:
Video hosting platforms track playback statistics so we know which instructional videos are most helpful. Analytics providers process aggregated usage data to generate reports about site performance. Email delivery services monitor open rates and click-throughs on newsletters.
All these providers operate under their own privacy policies, which we've reviewed. They're required to handle data responsibly and not share it with unrelated third parties. You can visit their individual websites for specific details about their data practices.
Legal Basis for Tracking
We process tracking data based on several legal grounds. Essential cookies rely on legitimate interest—we need them to provide the service you're requesting. Functional and analytics cookies typically fall under legitimate interest too, since they directly improve your experience without significant privacy impact.
Marketing cookies require consent in most jurisdictions. When you first visit doraliqenra.com, you'll see a banner asking whether you accept these. You can change your mind anytime, and we'll respect that choice going forward.
For Australian visitors specifically, we follow the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. This means we're transparent about data collection, give you access to your information, and maintain reasonable security measures.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy twice a year and update it whenever we change how we use tracking technologies. Significant changes get announced through email to registered users and a notice on the homepage.
The date at the top shows when we last revised this document. Checking back periodically is a good idea if you want to stay informed about our data practices.
Questions About Tracking?
We know privacy matters, and we're happy to discuss our approach in more detail. Reach out if you need clarification about specific cookies or want to request deletion of certain data.
