Cookie Policy

Essential Cookies

These cookies keep the site running. Without them, basic functions won't work. They handle things like maintaining your session when you're browsing through learning modules or keeping items in your program comparison list.

We use session cookies that expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies that remember your login preferences for up to 90 days. You can't really disable these without breaking core functionality.

Functional Cookies

These remember choices you make, like your preferred language or the last webinar topic you viewed. They're not strictly necessary but they save you from having to reset preferences every visit.

For example, if you've adjusted text size for better readability or chosen to hide our introductory tour, functional cookies remember that. They stick around for about six months.

Analytical Cookies

We use these to understand how people navigate our education platform. Which learning resources get the most attention? Where do people get stuck in the enrollment process? This data helps us make the site better.

All analytics data is anonymized. We don't link tracking information to your personal identity. These cookies typically last 12 months and collect things like page views, time spent on resources, and navigation patterns.

Marketing Cookies

These track your activity across sites to build a profile of your interests. We use them sparingly, mainly to show relevant ads about our programs when you're browsing elsewhere online.

Third parties like advertising platforms also set cookies when you visit our site. These help measure campaign effectiveness and prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly. They usually last between 30-90 days.

When you're researching our programs, cookies track which resources you've viewed so we can suggest related content. If you've been reading about basic budgeting techniques, we might recommend our advanced financial planning webinar.

For returning visitors, cookies help us display information relevant to your stage in the enrollment journey. Someone just discovering us sees different content than someone who attended three webinars and downloaded program materials.

Site Performance Optimization

Analytics cookies show us technical issues we need to fix. Maybe the contact form loads slowly on mobile devices, or people consistently abandon the enrollment process at a specific step. This data drives improvements.

We also track which browsers and devices people use most often. This helps us prioritize testing and make sure the site works smoothly for the majority of our visitors.

Common Browser Instructions

• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Cookie data is stored for different periods depending on type and purpose. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you manually delete them.

We regularly review and delete outdated cookie data. Analytics information older than 18 months is automatically purged from our systems. Marketing cookie data typically expires within 90 days.

Your Control Options

You have the right to know what data we collect and how we use it. You can request a copy of any personal information we've gathered through cookies by contacting our privacy team.

If you want us to stop tracking your site usage altogether, you can opt out of analytics cookies specifically. Essential cookies will still function to keep the site working, but we won't collect usage statistics from your visits.

We integrate with external services that set their own cookies. These include analytics platforms, video hosting services for our webinar recordings, and advertising networks that help promote our programs.

Each third party has its own privacy policy governing how they collect and use data. We work only with reputable providers who meet Australian privacy standards, but we don't control their cookies directly.

• Analytics services that help us understand site traffic patterns
