Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At kyronafilo, we believe you should know exactly what happens when you visit our site. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on kyronafilo.com.
We're committed to transparency. You'll find straightforward information here about what we track, why we track it, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember information about your visit.
These files contain data about your browsing session and preferences. When you return to our site, we can read these cookies to provide a better experience tailored to your needs.
Some cookies last only for your current session and disappear when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for longer periods, helping us recognize you on return visits.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They manage your session, remember your login status, and ensure security features function correctly. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences and choices. For example, they store your preferred language settings, interface customizations, and accessibility options you've selected during previous visits.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They help us identify which pages are popular, where users spend time, and where they encounter problems.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing activity across different sites to build a profile of your interests. We use them to show you relevant educational content and program information based on your demonstrated interests.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Our tracking serves specific purposes that benefit both you and our ability to provide quality educational resources. Here's what we actually do with the information we collect.
Site Performance and Optimization
We monitor how quickly pages load, which features work smoothly, and where users encounter technical issues. This helps us identify problems early and fix them before they affect more people.
When we notice patterns in how people use our site, we can make informed decisions about layout changes, content placement, and feature development.
Content Personalization
If you've shown interest in specific business models or financial topics, we'll prioritize related content in your feed. This saves you time by surfacing relevant information without requiring you to search for it.
Your interaction history helps us understand which learning materials resonate with Australian business owners and which ones need improvement.
Educational Program Development
We analyze which topics generate the most engagement and where visitors spend their time. This data influences our curriculum planning for upcoming programs scheduled throughout 2025 and into 2026.
Understanding user behavior helps us create better educational resources that address actual needs rather than assumed ones.
Specific Cookies We Set
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your login state and shopping cart contents during your visit | Session only |
| user_preferences | Stores your interface settings, language choice, and accessibility options | 12 months |
| analytics_token | Tracks page views and user navigation patterns for site improvement | 24 months |
| content_recommendations | Powers personalized content suggestions based on your browsing history | 6 months |
| marketing_profile | Builds interest profile for relevant educational program suggestions | 18 months |
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. For example, if we embed a video from another platform, that platform may set its own cookies.
We work only with reputable service providers who maintain their own privacy policies. When you interact with third-party content on our site, you're subject to their tracking policies as well as ours.
These providers include analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and educational technology partners who help us deliver our programs effectively.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. The most straightforward approach is through your browser settings.
Browser Controls
- Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings menu. Look for "Privacy" or "Security" sections in your browser preferences.
- You can set your browser to notify you when sites attempt to place cookies, giving you the choice to accept or reject them individually.
- Clearing your browsing data removes existing cookies, though new ones will be set when you visit sites again unless you've blocked them.
- Private or incognito browsing modes prevent cookies from being stored permanently, though they still function during that specific session.
What Happens When You Block Cookies
If you disable cookies entirely, some features won't work as intended. You might need to log in repeatedly, your preferences won't be saved between visits, and personalized content recommendations will stop appearing.
Essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality. Blocking these means certain features simply won't operate, which could make the site difficult or impossible to use effectively.
You can usually block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones. This gives you a middle ground where the site functions normally but external tracking is limited.
Data Retention and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans based on their purpose. Session cookies disappear immediately when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
We set expiration dates based on how long the information remains useful. Preference cookies last longer because your settings don't change frequently. Analytics cookies have shorter lifespans because recent data is more valuable than old patterns.
When cookies expire, they're automatically deleted from your device. You don't need to do anything manually unless you want to clear them sooner than their set expiration date.
Security Measures
We use secure, encrypted connections when setting cookies that contain sensitive information. This prevents unauthorized parties from intercepting or reading your data during transmission.
Our cookies don't store passwords, credit card numbers, or other highly sensitive personal information. They contain identifiers and preferences, not the actual data itself.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy regularly to reflect changes in our tracking practices and relevant regulations. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and notify active users through email.
Technology evolves, and so do privacy standards. We're committed to staying current with both technical capabilities and legal requirements in Australia.
Checking this page occasionally keeps you informed about any changes to how we use cookies and tracking technologies on kyronafilo.com.
