Website Tracking Technologies
Last Updated: February 2025
feronyalix operates feronyalix.com and wants you to understand what information we collect when you visit. This page explains how tracking technologies work on our site, what data we gather, and how you can adjust your preferences. We're talking about cookies and similar technologies that help us deliver better financial education to Australian businesses.
What Are Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies are small data files stored on your device when you browse our website. Most people call them cookies, though there are actually several types. These files help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and improve your experience over time.
Think of them like bookmarks that help us recognize you when you return. Some disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer so we don't ask for the same information repeatedly.
When you visit our learning resources, we might save which modules you've already viewed. That way, next time you come back, you can pick up where you left off without scrolling through everything again.
Types We Use at feronyalix
Not all tracking technologies do the same thing. Here's how we categorize what we use on feronyalix.com, organized by purpose rather than technical specs.
Essential Functions
These keep the site working properly. Without them, basic features like navigation and secure access wouldn't function. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the website to operate.
Functional Preferences
These remember choices you make, like language settings or which resources you've bookmarked. They make your experience more personalized without collecting unnecessary information about your browsing habits.
Analytical Insights
We use these to understand which content helps Australian businesses most. They show us patterns like which financial concepts generate the most questions or where people spend extra time reviewing materials.
Marketing Communication
These help us show relevant information about upcoming programs or resources. They also prevent us from repeatedly showing you the same promotional content you've already seen and dismissed.
How This Improves Your Experience
Look, we could run the website without most tracking technologies. But your experience would be frustrating. Every visit would feel like the first time. Here's what these technologies actually do for you:
- Remember your progress through multi-part educational content so you don't lose your place
- Keep you logged into your account as you move between pages
- Load pages faster by storing certain elements locally on your device
- Show content relevant to Australian business contexts rather than generic global material
- Prevent security issues by verifying legitimate sessions
- Help us understand which topics need better explanation based on where people pause or revisit
We're not collecting data for the sake of having data. When we see that many visitors re-read a particular section on cash flow management, that tells us to expand that content or add more examples. It's feedback without you having to fill out surveys.
Managing Your Browser Settings
You control these technologies through your browser settings. Every major browser gives you options to block, delete, or receive warnings about tracking technologies. Here's where to find these controls in common browsers used in Australia:
Google Chrome
Navigate to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all, block third-party only, or clear existing data. Chrome also offers incognito mode for temporary browsing without saving history.
Mozilla Firefox
Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox has enhanced tracking protection built in, with standard, strict, and custom levels. You can also view and remove individual site data.
Safari
Open Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. Safari blocks many third-party trackers by default. You can prevent cross-site tracking or block all cookies, though this may affect website functionality.
Microsoft Edge
Access Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Edge provides tracking prevention at three levels and shows how many trackers it blocked on each site you visit.
Be aware that blocking essential function technologies may prevent parts of feronyalix.com from working correctly. You might have trouble accessing your account or completing contact forms.
How Long We Keep This Data
Different technologies have different lifespans. Some disappear the moment you close your browser. Others persist for months or years. Here's our retention approach:
| Type | Duration | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Session Data | Until browser closes | Maintains your active session while you browse between pages |
| Preference Settings | 12 months | Remembers your choices like notification preferences across visits |
| Analytical Data | 24 months | Allows us to identify long-term trends in content engagement |
| Marketing Interactions | 6 months | Prevents repeated display of dismissed promotional content |
We regularly review and delete outdated data. If you clear your browser's stored data, everything associated with your device disappears immediately from your end, though anonymized analytics might remain in our systems for the periods listed above.
Third-Party Technologies
Some tracking technologies on feronyalix.com come from external services we use. For instance, if we embed a video from a hosting platform, that platform might set its own tracking data. Same goes for analytics services that help us understand site performance.
We choose third-party providers carefully and only work with services that align with Australian privacy expectations. However, when you interact with embedded content from external sources, those providers' policies apply to that interaction.
You can typically identify third-party technologies in your browser's developer tools or privacy settings, where they'll be listed under different feronyalix names rather than feronyalix.com.
Changes to This Approach
Technology evolves and so do privacy regulations. We'll update this page when we make meaningful changes to how we use tracking technologies. The date at the top shows when we last revised the content.
If regulations change or we adopt new technologies that significantly alter data collection, we'll post a notice on our homepage before implementing those changes. We won't suddenly start collecting dramatically different information without telling you first.
