What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our content. We also use similar tracking technologies like web beacons and local storage to enhance your browsing experience.

These tools don't identify you personally. Instead, they recognize your browser or device. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help our site remember things like your language preference or which articles you've already read.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

Let me give you some concrete examples of how this works in practice. When you return to tavenlyros.com, cookies remember if you prefer to see financial data in AUD rather than USD. That's a functional cookie saving you from changing settings every time.

Analytics help us spot content that readers find valuable. If we notice many visitors spending significant time on articles about superannuation strategies, we know to create more content in that area. That's analytical tracking directly improving what we offer you.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're in control. Most browsers give you tools to manage or block cookies. But keep in mind that blocking certain types might affect how the site functions for you.

Browser Configuration Options

• Block all cookies except essential ones for maximum privacy
• Allow cookies only from sites you trust directly
• Clear cookies automatically when closing your browser
• Review and delete specific cookies manually through browser tools
• Use private browsing mode to prevent cookie storage temporarily

Third-Party Tracking

Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to analyze traffic or deliver content. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We work only with reputable providers who meet Australian privacy standards.

For instance, our analytics provider helps us understand aggregate visitor behavior without identifying individual users. Content delivery networks place cookies to ensure fast, reliable access to articles and resources across Australia and internationally.

Data Retention and Storage

Different cookies have different lifespans. Some exist only during your browsing session and disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer to remember your preferences between visits.

Technology evolves quickly. As we adopt new tools or modify how we track and analyze site usage, we'll update this policy accordingly. We recommend checking back periodically if you want to stay informed about our tracking practices.
