Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on ionarentlo.com
Last updated: March 2025
At ionarentlo, we believe in being upfront about how we collect and use information when you visit our website. This policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We've structured this document to be straightforward and practical. If something isn't clear or you have specific questions about our data practices, reach out to us directly at the contact details provided below.
What Are Cookies and How Do They Work?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help websites remember things about your visit.
When you browse ionarentlo.com, your browser stores these files locally. They contain information like your preferences, session details, and certain settings you've chosen. Next time you visit, our website reads these files to provide a more personalized experience.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call these session cookies), while others stick around for longer periods (persistent cookies) to remember you on future visits.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
We use several types of tracking technologies on ionarentlo.com, each serving different purposes for both your benefit and ours.
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for basic website functionality. Without them, certain features like secure login areas, form submissions, and navigation wouldn't work properly. You can't opt out of these because they're fundamental to how the site operates.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, if you've selected certain filters when browsing our educational resources or chosen a particular layout view, functional cookies save these preferences so you don't have to set them again each visit.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our website. They tell us which pages are most popular, how long people spend reading different sections, and where visitors tend to drop off. This information helps us improve the site structure and content organization.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing activity to help us show relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our educational program promotions. We use them to understand which learning programs generate the most interest and how potential students discover our offerings.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Let me give you some concrete examples of how these technologies benefit your interaction with ionarentlo.com:
- Keeping you logged into secure areas while you navigate between different pages on our site
- Remembering which educational resources you've bookmarked or marked as interesting
- Maintaining your progress if you're partway through an application or enquiry form
- Showing you relevant program information based on topics you've previously explored
- Preventing duplicate form submissions that could create confusion
- Understanding peak usage times so we can ensure our technical infrastructure handles traffic smoothly
- Identifying which content formats (articles, guides, program descriptions) resonate most with visitors
- Measuring how many people who enquire about programs actually proceed to enrollment
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control of how cookies work on your device. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookie management slightly differently. Here are the most common ones used by our visitors:
Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how well ionarentlo.com functions. Essential cookies are necessary for basic operations, so disabling them could prevent you from accessing important features.
Data Retention and Storage
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies might last anywhere from a few days to several months.
Analytical data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months, meaning we can't trace it back to individual users after that point. Marketing cookies generally expire after 90 days, though you might see them refresh if you continue visiting the site regularly.
We store cookie data on secure servers located in Australia, and we don't share this information with third parties except where necessary to provide services (like analytics platforms that help us understand site performance).
Your Rights and Control Options
Under Australian privacy legislation, you have several rights regarding how we collect and use your data through cookies:
Access Your Data
You can request information about what data we've collected through cookies and how we've used it during your interactions with ionarentlo.com.
Request Deletion
You can ask us to delete cookie data associated with your visits, though this might mean we can't provide certain personalized features.
Opt Out of Marketing
You can disable marketing cookies specifically while still allowing functional and essential cookies that make the site work properly.
Update Preferences
Your cookie preferences aren't set in stone. You can change them at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us directly.
Third-Party Services
We work with several external service providers that may also use cookies when you visit ionarentlo.com. These typically include analytics platforms that help us understand visitor behavior and content delivery networks that ensure fast page loading times.
While we carefully select partners who respect user privacy, these third parties have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookies. We recommend reviewing their policies if you want detailed information about their specific practices.
We don't sell cookie data to third parties or allow unrestricted access to your browsing information. Any data sharing happens strictly within the context of providing better service on ionarentlo.com.
Questions About Our Cookie Usage?
If you have specific concerns about cookies, want to exercise your data rights, or need clarification on any aspect of this policy, we're here to help.
We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of ionarentlo.com after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
