How We Track Your Visit
Current as of January 2025
We use tracking technologies on dralqovinea.com to improve how things work for you. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. We're straightforward about this stuff because transparency matters when it comes to your information.
What Tracking Technologies Actually Are
Think of these as small text files your browser stores when you visit our site. They remember things about your visit so you don't have to start fresh each time you come back. Some stick around for years, others vanish when you close your browser.
Beyond traditional methods, we also use web beacons and pixels. These are tiny transparent images embedded in pages that tell us when content gets viewed. Local storage works similarly but can hold more information than standard tracking files.
Quick note: Most modern websites use these technologies. They're part of how the internet functions today, though you always have options to limit them.
The Different Categories We Use
Essential Functions
These keep the site running properly. Without them, basic features won't work. They handle login sessions and security checks. You can't really disable these if you want to use our services.
Preference Storage
These remember your choices like language settings or display preferences. They make your experience more personalised without collecting sensitive information about you.
Performance Analysis
We track how people move through our site to find what works and what doesn't. This helps us fix problems and improve the experience. The data gets anonymised before we review it.
Marketing Tools
These track your interests to show relevant content. They help us understand which campaigns resonate with our Australian audience and avoid showing you the same message repeatedly.
Why We Actually Need This Information
- Keep you logged in while you navigate between pages without constant re-authentication
- Remember items you've added to forms so you don't lose progress if something interrupts you
- Understand which content helps our corporate culture focus resonate with finance professionals
- Detect unusual activity that might indicate security issues or fraudulent access attempts
- Measure how different page layouts perform so we can make informed design decisions
- Ensure our platform works smoothly across different devices and browsers
- Provide relevant educational resources based on what topics you've previously explored
How This Improves Your Experience
When you return to dralqovinea.com, we recognise your previous settings. If you preferred a certain view or had selected specific topics, that information stays with you. It saves time and reduces frustration.
We also use this data to spot technical problems. If many visitors encounter errors on a particular page, we'll know about it quickly and can fix things before it affects more people. The alternative would be waiting for individual reports, which takes longer and leaves problems unresolved.
Taking Control of Your Browser
Every major browser lets you manage tracking preferences. The settings vary slightly, but they all give you similar control. Here's where to look:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → View permissions and data
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data
Opera
Settings → Privacy & security → Clear browsing data
Brave
Settings → Shields → View and delete data
Be aware that blocking all tracking will affect how our site functions. You might need to log in more often, and we won't remember your preferences between visits. Some features might not work at all.
Third-Party Services We Work With
We partner with external providers for analytics and functionality. These services use their own tracking methods according to their policies. When you visit dralqovinea.com, some of these third parties might receive information about your visit.
Our analytics provider helps us understand traffic patterns and user behaviour. Marketing platforms track campaign effectiveness across multiple sites. Payment processors handle transaction security. Each has their own privacy policy that governs how they use data.
We choose partners carefully and prioritise those with strong privacy practices. Still, we can't control their policies once data leaves our systems, which is why we recommend reviewing their documentation separately.
How Long We Keep This Data
Session-based tracking expires when you close your browser. These handle temporary functions like shopping carts or form progress.
Persistent tracking can last from a few days to several years depending on purpose. Preference settings might stick around for 12 months. Analytics data typically stays for 24 months. Marketing identifiers can persist up to 36 months.
We review stored data regularly and clear out anything that's no longer useful. When you delete tracking files from your browser, they're gone immediately from your device, though our servers might retain aggregated statistics.
Your Rights Under Australian Law
Australian privacy legislation gives you specific rights about your data. You can request details about what we've collected, ask us to delete it, or object to certain processing activities. We respond to these requests within 30 days.
If you're concerned about how we handle tracking data, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. We'd prefer to resolve issues directly though, so reach out first if something bothers you.
For our finance-focused audience, we understand that data sensitivity matters even more. We apply additional security measures to protect information about professional activities and corporate interests.
Updates to These Practices
We modify this policy when our tracking methods change or when regulations require it. Check the date at the top to see when we last updated things. Significant changes get announced through email to registered users.
New tracking technologies emerge constantly. As we adopt different tools or discontinue old ones, this page reflects those changes. We won't fundamentally alter our approach without notifying you first.
