We're pretty upfront about this – prydanionova uses cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, obviously. The digital ones that help us remember who you are and what you're interested in when you visit our franchise finance platform.
This policy explains what these tracking technologies actually do, why we bother with them, and how you can control what's happening on your device. We've tried to make this readable rather than wrapping everything in legal jargon that puts people to sleep.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer or phone. They remember things like your login status, preferences, and browsing patterns. Some expire when you close your browser. Others stick around longer.
We also use similar tracking technologies like web beacons and pixels. They work differently under the hood but serve the same basic purpose – helping us understand how people interact with prydanionova.com.
Types of Cookies We Use
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary by design. Persistent cookies hang around for anywhere from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose.
We review our cookie retention periods regularly. If we don't need data anymore, we delete it. Most of our analytics cookies expire after 12 months, while marketing cookies typically last 90 days.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Besides using the rejection button on this page, you can control cookies directly through your browser settings. Here's how that works for the main browsers people use in Australia:
Google Chrome
Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Other Site Data. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close Chrome.
Safari
Open Preferences, click Privacy, and you'll see options to block cookies from different sources. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default now.
Firefox
Head to Options, then Privacy and Security. Firefox has Enhanced Tracking Protection that blocks many cookies automatically. You can adjust the level of protection based on your preferences.
Microsoft Edge
Click Settings, then Cookies and Site Permissions. Edge lets you block third-party cookies while keeping first-party cookies active, which is a decent middle ground.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from third parties. We use services like Google Analytics for tracking and various advertising platforms for marketing campaigns. These companies have their own privacy policies that explain how they handle your data.
We don't have direct control over third-party cookies, but we only work with providers who meet reasonable privacy standards. That said, if you want full control, browser settings or the rejection button above are your best options.
Updates to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we use cookies or when privacy regulations evolve. When we make significant changes, we'll notify users through the website or via email if you've registered with us.
The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we last reviewed this document. Check back occasionally if you want to stay informed about how we're handling cookies.
