What Are Tracking Technologies?

When you visit our website, we store small text files on your device. These help us remember your preferences, understand how people use our tools, and generally make the experience better for everyone.

Some tracking happens through cookies. Others work through pixels, local storage, or session data. The purpose varies – some are absolutely necessary for the site to function, while others help us figure out which content actually helps people.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Improves Your Experience

Here's a concrete example: when we noticed people were leaving our financial analysis methodology page after about 30 seconds, we realised the content was too dense. We broke it into sections, added clearer headings, and saw engagement time triple. That happened because analytics told us something was off.

Similarly, functional tracking means you don't have to re-enter your location preferences every time you visit. The site remembers you're based in Sydney or Melbourne and surfaces relevant case studies automatically.

What We Learn From Data

We see which topics generate the most interest, which resources get downloaded frequently, and where people get confused. This shapes what we write about and how we present information. If nobody clicks on a particular guide, maybe it's not helpful – or maybe we buried it too deep in the navigation.

Managing Your Preferences

You control how much tracking happens. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely, though this can break certain features on any website, not just ours.

Private or incognito mode prevents persistent tracking across sessions. Once you close that window, the cookies disappear. Keep in mind this doesn't make you invisible – your internet provider and the websites you visit can still see your activity during that session.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of external tools to handle analytics and performance monitoring. These services have their own policies, and we've chosen providers that align with privacy-conscious practices.

For example, our analytics platform aggregates data before we see it, which means we get useful insights without accessing personally identifiable details. We're not interested in tracking individuals – we want to understand trends and improve the overall experience.

Updates to This Policy

If we change how we handle tracking, we'll update this page and note the date at the top. Major changes might prompt a notification when you next visit, though we don't expect frequent overhauls. Our approach has been consistent since we launched, and we're not planning to shift toward more invasive tracking.

Check back occasionally if you're curious. Or don't – we're not going to track whether you read this policy or not.
