Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
When you visit xypheralora.com, we use small data files to help the site work properly and to understand how people interact with our services. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we need them, and how you can adjust your preferences.
What We Track
Our website uses several tracking methods to function correctly and provide you with a better experience. These small files get stored on your device when you browse xypheralora.com and help us remember your preferences, analyse site performance, and show you relevant information about our event budget planning services.
We're transparent about this because we believe you should know exactly what data gets collected and why. Every piece of tracking serves a specific purpose – nothing gets stored just for the sake of it.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functions
These keep the website working. Without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages, use forms, or access secure areas. They're absolutely necessary for xypheralora.com to function, so they can't be disabled.
Performance Tracking
We use these to see which pages get the most visits, how long people spend reading different sections, and where technical issues might be occurring. This data helps us improve the site structure and fix problems quickly.
Preference Memory
When you adjust settings on our site – like choosing to stay logged in or selecting specific budget categories – these files remember your choices so you don't have to repeat them every time you visit.
Marketing Insights
These help us understand which of our educational content about event budget planning is most useful to visitors. We might also use them to show you information about upcoming learning programs that match your interests.
How This Helps You
Here's what actually happens when we track this information. When you visit our learning program page, we can see that lots of people are interested in corporate event budgeting. That tells us to create more content in that area.
- Your budget planning tools remember the categories you use most often
- Educational resources load faster because we know which files you'll probably need
- We can send you updates about topics you've actually shown interest in
- Forms remember your contact details so you don't retype them constantly
- The site adapts to whether you prefer detailed guides or quick reference sheets
If you're working on a wedding budget calculator and come back two days later, we'll keep your progress saved. That's the practical side of tracking – it makes the experience less frustrating.
Managing Your Preferences
You have complete control over which tracking technologies stay active. Most browsers let you block or delete them entirely, though this might affect how well certain features work. Your browser settings give you the power to decide what gets stored and what doesn't.
Browser Configuration
Each browser handles these settings differently. Here's where to find the controls in the most common ones:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party tracking or clear all stored data.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Enhanced tracking protection gives you preset levels of blocking.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks most third-party tracking automatically.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Choose from basic, balanced, or strict tracking prevention.
Data Retention
Different types of tracking files stay active for different periods. Session-based ones disappear when you close your browser – they're temporary helpers that exist only during your visit.
Persistent tracking lasts longer. Some preference files might stay on your device for up to 12 months so we can remember your settings between visits. Analytics data typically gets anonymised after 14 months, though the aggregated insights remain useful for improving our services.
You can clear everything manually whenever you want through your browser settings. That gives you a fresh start, though you'll need to reset any preferences you'd previously configured.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking on xypheralora.com comes from external services we use for analytics and site performance. These partners have their own privacy policies, and they follow strict data protection standards. We only work with services that meet Australian privacy requirements.
When you visit our learning program pages, analytics tools help us understand which educational content resonates with people planning events across Melbourne and wider Victoria. This information shapes how we develop future courses and resources.
Policy Updates
We review this policy regularly and update it when we change how tracking works on xypheralora.com. Major changes get highlighted at the top of this page with a new date, so you can quickly see what's different.
If we introduce new types of tracking that significantly change how we collect data, we'll let you know directly through email or a notice on the site. You'll always have the option to adjust your preferences in response to these changes.
