Cookie Policy

Understanding Our Tracking Technologies
At orquinavela, we're upfront about how we track your interactions on orquinavela.com. This isn't legal jargon for the sake of it. When you visit our site, certain technologies collect information about your browsing patterns, preferences, and how you engage with our business building resources.
We use these tracking methods to make your experience better—and yes, to understand what's working and what isn't. It's pretty standard stuff for a financial education platform operating in Australia, but we think you should know exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you browse our site. Think of them as little notes that help our website remember who you are between visits. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
Beyond cookies, we also use web beacons (tiny invisible images), local storage technologies, and tracking pixels. Each serves a slightly different purpose, but they all help us understand how people interact with orquinavela.com.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you can't log into your account, navigate between pages properly, or access secure areas. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for the site to work at all.
Functional Cookies
These remember your preferences—like which programs you've bookmarked or your preferred language settings. They make your experience more personalized without collecting sensitive data.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to see which pages get the most traffic, where visitors spend their time, and which resources are most helpful. This data helps us improve our content and understand what matters to people building businesses in Australia.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across our site and occasionally across other websites. They help us show relevant information about our programs and understand which marketing efforts actually resonate with potential students.
How We Actually Use This Information
- Maintaining your login sessions so you don't have to re-enter credentials every time
- Remembering which programs you've expressed interest in or started applications for
- Understanding which educational content gets read and which gets ignored
- Tracking how people find our site—whether through search, referrals, or direct visits
- Identifying technical issues like slow-loading pages or broken links
- Measuring the effectiveness of our email campaigns and promotional efforts
- Preventing fraudulent activities and maintaining site security
- Customizing content based on your location within Australia
Taking Control of Your Browser
You're not stuck with our cookies if you don't want them. Every modern browser gives you options to manage, block, or delete tracking technologies. The exact steps vary, but you'll usually find these settings under "Privacy" or "Security" in your browser preferences.
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how the site functions. You might lose access to personalized features or find that some pages don't load properly.
Third-Party Tracking
We don't just use our own tracking technologies. Some cookies come from third-party services we work with—analytics platforms, payment processors, and marketing tools. These companies have their own privacy policies, and we can't control what they do with the data they collect.
When you visit orquinavela.com, you might encounter tracking from services that help us process payments, analyze traffic patterns, or manage email communications. We try to work with reputable providers, but it's worth knowing they're collecting information too.
Session Cookies
These disappear as soon as you close your browser. They're temporary by nature and only track what you do during a single visit to our site.
Persistent Cookies
These can last anywhere from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose. They remember your preferences and behaviors across multiple visits.
Important: We periodically update this policy as our tracking practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Check back occasionally if you want to stay informed about how we're using these technologies.
Your Rights and Options
Australian privacy regulations give you certain rights regarding your data. You can request information about what we've collected, ask us to delete specific data, or opt out of certain tracking activities.
Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals, though there's no universal standard for how websites should respond to these. We respect these preferences where technically feasible, but the effectiveness varies depending on the specific tracking technology involved.
