What Are Cookies Anyway?

Small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as sticky notes that help us remember your preferences. Some are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us understand how people use our platform so we can make it better.

We use these tracking tools to improve how our finance education content reaches Australian business owners who need practical insights about business models and financial planning.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Long Do We Keep This Data?

Different cookies stick around for different periods. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others might last anywhere from a few days to two years, depending on their purpose.

• Essential cookies typically expire after your browsing session ends
• Preference cookies might last up to 12 months so you don't have to reset choices
• Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized within 26 months
• Marketing cookies usually expire within 90 days of your last visit

We review our data retention practices regularly to make sure we're not holding onto information longer than necessary. As of March 2025, we've tightened our retention windows to respect your privacy better.

Want more granular control? Your browser gives you detailed management options. Most modern browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones, or clear cookies automatically when you close the browser.

Third-Party Services

We work with a few trusted services that help us run the platform. Google Analytics shows us how people navigate our content. These partners have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.

We don't sell your data to third parties. That's not our business model and never will be. The information we collect serves one purpose: making our finance education resources more useful for Australian business owners.

Updates to This Policy

Privacy regulations evolve, and so do our practices. We'll update this policy when things change and post the new version here with a revised date. Major changes might prompt us to send an email to our learning program participants.

Check back occasionally if you're curious about how we're handling data. We typically review and refresh our policies twice a year, with the next scheduled update planned for August 2025.
