Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At noralithven, we believe in straightforward communication about how we collect information when you visit noralithven.com. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can control them. We've written this in plain language because nobody enjoys reading legal documents.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or access your personal files.
When you visit noralithven.com, we use cookies to remember things like your language preference, whether you've logged in, and which pages you've viewed. Without them, you'd need to re-enter information every time you navigate to a new page.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning properly. They remember your login status, secure your session, and ensure pages load correctly. Without these, our financial analysis tools wouldn't work. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, if you've customized your dashboard layout or selected specific financial metrics to display, functional cookies save those settings. They make your experience more personalized without tracking your browsing habits.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with noralithven.com. They tell us which pages are popular, how long people spend reading our financial analysis guides, and where users click most often. This information helps us improve the site's layout and content.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to show you relevant content. If you've visited our financial statement resources, you might see related educational content elsewhere online. These are the cookies most people want to control, and you absolutely can.
How We Actually Use This Information
Let me be specific about what happens with your data. When you visit our financial analysis pages, we track which sections get the most attention. If everyone's reading our cash flow analysis guide but skipping the balance sheet content, that tells us something important about what Australian businesses need right now.
We also monitor technical performance. If users from regional ACT areas experience slow loading times, we can address server issues specific to that region. This isn't about watching individual users but about spotting patterns that help us serve everyone better.
- Session management for secure access to your personalized dashboard
- Load balancing to distribute traffic efficiently across our servers
- Error tracking to identify and fix technical problems quickly
- Usage patterns to determine which financial tools need improvement
- Geographic data to ensure fast content delivery across Australia
Third-Party Services
We work with external providers who help us analyze site performance and deliver content. These services place their own cookies on your device. For instance, our analytics provider helps us understand user behavior, while our content delivery network ensures fast page loading.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We've chosen partners who respect user privacy and comply with Australian data protection standards, but you should know they operate independently from noralithven.
Taking Control of Your Tracking
Your browser gives you significant control over cookies. Most modern browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing essential first-party ones. Here's how to access those settings in popular browsers:
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some features on noralithven.com. You'll still be able to read our content, but personalized tools and saved preferences won't work properly.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stick around longer, typically between 30 days and two years, depending on their purpose.
We regularly review and delete old cookie data that's no longer useful. Analytics information gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days, meaning we keep the patterns but lose the connection to individual visitors.
Your Rights Under Australian Law
Australian privacy legislation gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. You can request to see what data we've collected, ask us to delete it, or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking at any time.
Access and Portability
You can request a copy of the information we've collected about your site usage. We'll provide this in a readable format within 30 days of your request.
Deletion and Objection
You can ask us to delete your data or object to certain types of processing. We'll comply unless we have a legitimate reason to retain specific information.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on noralithven.com for at least 30 days. The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised the policy.
We won't reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit consent. If new tracking technologies emerge that we want to implement, we'll update this document and give you clear information about what's changing.
