What Are Tracking Technologies?

Tracking technologies are small pieces of data that help websites remember information about your visit. Think of them like digital bookmarks that help us recognize you when you come back and remember your preferences.

When you visit our site, we might store information about your browser settings, which pages you viewed, or how you navigated through our budget presentation courses. This helps us understand what content resonates with visitors and where we might need to improve the learning experience.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Actually Use This Information

Let's get specific about what happens with the data we collect:

• We track which course descriptions get the most attention so we can create more helpful content
• We monitor page load times to identify technical issues that might frustrate visitors
• We analyze navigation patterns to improve how information is organized
• We measure whether our email communications about upcoming programs are reaching interested learners
• We remember your location preferences to show relevant program dates for Australia
• We identify returning visitors to avoid showing the same introductory content repeatedly

How Long We Keep This Data

Different types of tracking have different lifespans. Session-based tracking disappears when you close your browser – it's just temporary information to help you move through the site smoothly.

Persistent tracking might stick around for months or even a couple of years. For instance, if you've indicated interest in our September 2025 budget presentation course, we'll remember that so we can provide updates without you having to re-register your interest every time you visit.

Analytics data gets aggregated pretty quickly. We're looking at patterns across hundreds of visitors, not building detailed profiles of individual browsing habits.

Managing Your Browser Settings

You've got control over tracking technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers let you block or delete tracking data, though this might affect how some websites function.

Keep in mind that blocking all tracking might prevent some features from working properly. For example, you might have to re-enter information you've previously saved, or you won't stay logged into your account between visits.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when we change how we handle tracking or when new regulations require different approaches. Major changes will be noted at the top with the update date.

If we make significant changes to how we collect or use information, we'll let you know through a notice on the website or via email if you've registered for course updates.

We're based in Australia and follow applicable privacy regulations here, including requirements around transparency and user control over personal information.

Your Rights and Choices

You can request information about what data we've collected related to your visits. You can ask us to delete information we've stored. And you can opt out of certain types of tracking while still accessing our educational content.

Some tracking is necessary for the website to function – things like remembering that you've just submitted a form so we don't ask you to submit it again. But beyond those essentials, you've got choices about what information we collect.
