What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that help websites function properly and understand how visitors interact with their content. At sylenthoravum, we use these technologies to create a better learning environment for our positive psychology courses and resources.
These technologies include cookies (small text files stored in your browser), web beacons, pixels, and local storage mechanisms. Think of them as digital assistants that remember your preferences and help us deliver content that matches your learning style and interests.
Types of Tracking We Use
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you visit our positive psychology resources, tracking helps us remember where you left off in a course module or which wellbeing techniques you've bookmarked. This creates continuity in your learning journey.
We also use this data to understand which teaching methods resonate most with our Australian audience. For instance, if many students find our mindfulness exercises particularly engaging, we can develop more content in that area.
Data Retention Periods
Cleared when you close your browser
Stored for up to 12 months
Aggregated and anonymized after 26 months
Managing Your Browser Settings
You have complete control over tracking technologies through your browser settings. Modern browsers offer granular controls that let you block specific types of tracking while allowing essential website functions.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles privacy settings differently. Look for "Privacy," "Security," or "Site Settings" in your browser menu to find tracking controls.
Third-Party Services
We work with trusted analytics providers to understand how our educational content performs. These services help us identify which positive psychology concepts our students find most valuable and where we can improve our teaching methods.
Our video hosting, course delivery, and student support systems may also use tracking to ensure smooth functionality. We carefully select partners who share our commitment to student privacy and educational excellence.
Your Rights and Controls
Under Australian privacy laws, you can request information about what data we've collected, ask for corrections, or request deletion of your information. We believe education should be transparent, and that extends to how we handle your data.
You can also opt out of non-essential tracking at any time. This won't affect your ability to access our courses or resources, though some personalized features may not work as effectively.
