How Tracking Improves Your Experience
When you visit miracoryvia.com, cookies help us do several things that make your learning journey smoother. For example, if you're working through our budgeting resources, functional cookies remember where you left off so you can pick up right where you stopped.
Analytical data shows us which financial topics cause the most confusion, which helps us create better explanations and examples. If we notice people spending extra time on our debt management resources, we know to expand that section with more practical guidance.
We never sell your data to third parties. The information we collect through cookies is used solely to improve our educational resources and help more Australians build financial confidence.
Marketing cookies help us reach people who might benefit from our upcoming workshops or new resources. Instead of showing generic ads, we can highlight topics you've already shown interest in learning about.

Safari

What Happens When You Block Cookies
Blocking all cookies will affect how miracoryvia.com works for you. Essential functions might not operate properly, and you'll need to reset preferences each time you visit. Our learning tools that save your progress won't work, and you might see less relevant content recommendations.
Most people find that blocking third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies gives them a good balance between privacy and functionality. This approach blocks most advertising trackers while keeping our site working smoothly.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different types of cookies stay on your device for different lengths of time. Here's what you should know:
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. We use these for basic security and navigation tracking during your visit.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (usually between 30 days and 2 years). These remember your preferences and help us recognize returning visitors.
Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months in anonymized form. This helps us track long-term trends in how people use our resources.
You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. We'll process your request within 30 days and confirm when your information has been removed.
Third-Party Services
We work with several trusted service providers who may place their own cookies on your device. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site performance and content delivery networks that make our pages load faster.
Each of these providers has their own privacy policies that explain how they handle data. We only work with companies that meet Australian privacy standards and treat your information responsibly.
Some examples include web analytics services that track general usage patterns, email marketing platforms that help us send newsletters to subscribers, and hosting providers that keep our site running reliably.
Updates to This Policy
We review this cookie policy regularly and update it when we change how we use tracking technologies or when regulations change. Significant updates will be noted at the top of this page with a new revision date.
We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you have specific concerns about privacy. We're committed to transparency about how we collect and use information on miracoryvia.com.
