Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
We're being straight with you about how we track activity on rinqualora.com. This isn't one of those policies that tries to hide behind legal jargon. You're on our site, and we collect some data. Most websites do this, and we think you deserve to know exactly what's happening.
Cookies are small files that sit on your device when you visit websites. They help us remember who you are between visits and understand how people move through our content. Some cookies are absolutely necessary for the site to work. Others help us improve your experience or show you relevant information.
What We Track and Why
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you can't log in, submit forms, or access secure areas. We don't ask permission for these because they're fundamentally required for basic operations. They expire when you close your browser or after a short session period.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences – things like language settings or display options. They make your experience smoother by not asking the same questions every single visit. You can disable these, but you'll lose the convenience of personalized settings.
Analytics Cookies
We track how people use rinqualora.com to figure out what works and what doesn't. This includes which pages get the most attention, where people drop off, and how long they stick around. The data helps us make better decisions about content and layout improvements.
Marketing Cookies
These follow your activity to show you relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. If you've looked at specific financial services content, we might show you related resources. These cookies often come from third-party platforms we work with.
How Cookies Actually Work Here
When you land on rinqualora.com, your browser receives instructions to store certain information. Each time you click through to another page, your browser sends that information back to our servers. This creates a continuous conversation between your device and our site.
Some cookies live for just one session. You close the browser, they disappear. Others stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose. Session cookies are typically functional – they help you navigate without constantly re-entering information. Persistent cookies are usually for analytics and preferences.
Here's something worth knowing: third-party cookies come from services we use, not directly from us. If we embed a video player or use an analytics platform, those services may drop their own cookies on your device. We choose partners carefully, but you should know they operate under their own privacy policies.
What This Means For Your Privacy
Data Collection and Storage
The information we gather through cookies includes your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, and browsing patterns on our site. We don't collect personally identifiable information through cookies alone – that only happens if you voluntarily provide it through forms or account creation.
Analytics cookies tell us things like: someone from Sydney spent eight minutes reading our business innovation content on Tuesday afternoon. We don't know who that person is unless they've created an account and logged in.
Session Duration
Essential and functional cookies typically last only while you're actively using the site. Once you leave or close your browser, they're gone.
30 to 90 Days
Analytics cookies usually persist for one to three months. This timeframe gives us enough data to spot patterns without holding onto information indefinitely.
Up to 2 Years
Marketing cookies from third-party platforms can last up to two years. These help with long-term campaign tracking and audience building across multiple visits.
Your Control Options
You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Every major browser gives you tools to block, delete, or manage cookies. The trade-off is that blocking everything might break certain features or force you to re-enter preferences constantly.
Most people find a middle ground – accepting essential cookies while limiting analytics and marketing tracking. That's completely reasonable and we've built the site to work with various privacy settings.
Browser Management Resources
Each browser handles cookies differently. These links take you to official instructions for the most common options:
Specific Tracking Technologies
Beyond Standard Cookies
We also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags) and local storage technologies. Web beacons are tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that confirm delivery and interaction. Local storage keeps larger amounts of data on your device compared to traditional cookies.
These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies but work differently under the hood. Browser cookie controls don't always affect them, so you might need separate privacy tools to manage everything comprehensively.
Mobile Device Tracking
If you access rinqualora.com through a mobile device, we collect similar information through mobile-specific identifiers and app-based tracking. Mobile operating systems have their own privacy controls that work alongside browser settings.
iOS and Android both offer options to limit ad tracking and reset advertising identifiers. Check your device settings under privacy or advertising sections.
Australian privacy laws give you specific rights around data collection and use. You can request information about what data we hold, ask for corrections, or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking. We take these obligations seriously and respond to requests within reasonable timeframes.
Changes to This Policy
Technology evolves and so do our practices. When we make significant changes to how we handle cookies, we'll update this page and adjust the date at the top. We won't notify you individually about minor updates, so checking back occasionally makes sense if you're concerned about these details.
Major changes – like adding entirely new tracking categories – would warrant more prominent notification, probably through a banner on the site or direct communication with account holders.
