Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
When you visit fynexaraent.com, we want you to understand exactly how we collect and use information through tracking technologies. This policy explains what happens behind the scenes and gives you control over your browsing experience.
We're not fans of legal jargon either. So we've written this in plain language that actually makes sense.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as tiny text files that websites save on your device. They help websites remember who you are and what you prefer. Without them, you'd have to log in every time you clicked to a new page or reset all your preferences from scratch.
These files sit quietly in your browser, storing bits of information like your language preference, login status, or items in your cart. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They're just data.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call these session cookies). Others stick around for weeks or months (persistent cookies) so the site can recognize you next time.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
fynexaraent uses several types of tracking methods to make your experience better and understand how people interact with our financial education content. Here's what we actually do with them.
Essential
These keep the site working. They handle security, load balancing, and basic navigation. You can't turn these off without breaking the website.
Functional
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your selected currency display, timezone settings, and accessibility options live here.
Analytics
We track how people move through our site to improve it. Which pages get read most? Where do people get stuck? This helps us fix problems and create better content.
Marketing
These help us show relevant educational content and understand which marketing efforts actually work. We want to reach people interested in financial education, not annoy everyone else.
Specific Technologies We Deploy
Being transparent means naming names. Here's what's actually running when you browse fynexaraent.com.
First-Party Cookies
These come directly from us. We use them to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and track your progress through learning materials. They expire at different intervals depending on their purpose.
- Session identifiers (expire when you close your browser)
- Authentication tokens (last up to 30 days)
- Preference settings (persist for 12 months)
- Progress tracking (stored for the duration of your program enrollment)
Third-Party Services
We work with external platforms for analytics and content delivery. These services may set their own cookies to function properly. We've chosen partners who respect privacy standards and align with Australian regulations.
Analytics platforms help us understand traffic patterns and user behavior. Video hosting services remember your playback preferences. Payment processors need to secure your transaction details.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
Beyond cookies, modern browsers offer local storage options. We use these for larger data sets that improve performance, like caching course materials so they load faster on repeat visits.
Data Retention Periods
We don't keep tracking data forever. Different types have different lifespans based on their purpose.
Session data disappears when you leave. Functional preferences stick around for a year unless you clear them. Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days. Marketing cookies expire based on campaign duration, typically between 30 and 180 days.
You can always clear your cookies manually through your browser settings. Just know that you'll lose your preferences and have to set everything up again.
Your Rights and Control
Australian privacy law gives you specific rights over your data. You can access what we've collected, request corrections, or ask us to delete it entirely.
You're also free to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. The site will still work, though some features might not function as smoothly.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Every major browser lets you control cookies. The process varies slightly, but the principle stays the same. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party ones, or delete existing cookies.
Access Browser Settings
Open your browser menu and look for Settings, Preferences, or Options. Privacy and security settings are usually in a dedicated section.
Find Cookie Controls
Navigate to the privacy or content settings area. You'll see options for cookies, site data, and tracking. Different browsers organize this differently.
Set Your Preferences
Choose whether to block third-party cookies, delete existing ones, or prevent all cookies entirely. Some browsers offer granular control over specific sites.
Consider the Trade-offs
Blocking all cookies will break some website functionality. You might not stay logged in, lose your preferences, or miss personalized content. Find the balance that works for you.
Mobile browsers work similarly, though the settings might be buried deeper in menus. Look for Safari Settings on iOS or Chrome Settings on Android devices.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations evolve. We update this policy periodically to reflect current practices.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and notify active users through email or on-site messaging. Minor clarifications might happen without formal notification.
Check back occasionally if you're curious about what's changed. We archive previous versions and can provide them on request.
