How dravonelixir uses tracking technologies to improve your experience
Last Updated: January 2025Look, we're not going to pretend that tracking technologies are everyone's favourite topic. But here's the thing – they're genuinely useful for making dravonelixir.com work better for you. And we think you deserve to know exactly what's happening when you visit our site.
This policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking methods at dravonelixir. We've tried to keep the jargon to a minimum, though some technical terms are unavoidable. If something's unclear, just reach out to us.
What Are These Tracking Things Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. They're not programs and can't carry viruses – think of them more like little notes that help the site remember things about your visit.
When you come to dravonelixir.com, your browser stores these files locally. Then, when you return, the site can read them to recall your preferences or track your activity. It's similar to how a café might remember your usual order – except digital.
We also use web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags), which are tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails. These help us understand how people interact with our content, though they work slightly differently than traditional cookies.
1 Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the site to function properly. Without them, basic features like secure logins or navigation wouldn't work. You can't really disable these through our settings, though your browser gives you control.
2 Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like language preferences or which financial sectors you're most interested in. They make your experience smoother by keeping track of personalisation settings across visits.
3 Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with dravonelixir.com – which pages get the most attention, where people tend to drop off, and what content resonates. This helps us improve the site based on actual usage patterns.
4 Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across sites to show you relevant content about financial analysis topics you might find useful. They're also how we measure whether our outreach efforts are working or need adjustment.
How dravonelixir Actually Uses This Data
For essential cookies, we're using them to maintain your logged-in state as you move between pages. They also help prevent security issues by verifying that requests are coming from legitimate users rather than malicious bots.
Functional cookies let us remember things like your dashboard layout preferences or which Australian market sectors you follow most closely. This saves you from reconfiguring everything each time you visit.
The analytical side is where it gets interesting. We track things like how long people spend reading different industry reports, which financial metrics are most frequently accessed, and what navigation paths lead to the most engagement. This information shapes our content strategy – if everyone's bouncing off a particular page within seconds, we know something needs fixing.
With marketing cookies, we're building a picture of which topics interest you so we can surface relevant content. If you've been reading about mining sector analysis, we might show you related materials about resource industry trends. It's targeted, sure, but hopefully in a way that's actually helpful rather than intrusive.
Taking Control of Your Cookie Settings
You've got several options for managing how cookies work on your device. Most people use their browser settings, which give you broad control over what gets stored and what doesn't.
- Block all cookies entirely (though this might break some site functionality)
- Delete cookies after each browsing session
- Accept cookies only from sites you visit directly, not from third parties
- Allow cookies from specific sites while blocking others
- Get notifications whenever a cookie wants to be stored
Each browser handles this slightly differently. Here are the common ones:
Chrome
Firefox
Safari
Edge
Opera
Brave
Just search for "cookie settings" in your browser's help section, and you'll find detailed instructions. It's usually buried under privacy or security settings.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Some disappear the moment you close your browser, while others hang around for months or even years.
| Cookie Type | Typical Duration | Why This Long? |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | These are temporary and don't need to persist beyond your current visit |
| Authentication | 7-30 days | Long enough to keep you logged in between regular visits without being excessive |
| Preferences | 12 months | Your settings should remain consistent over time, so these last longer |
| Analytics | 24 months | We need historical data to spot trends and patterns in site usage |
| Marketing | 6-12 months | Balances personalisation benefits with privacy considerations |
These are typical ranges. Some cookies might expire sooner if they're no longer needed, and you can always clear them manually through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services We Work With
dravonelixir doesn't work in isolation. We use several external services to help run the site, analyse traffic, and deliver content. Each of these may set their own cookies when you visit our platform.
For analytics, we work with tools that help us understand visitor behaviour patterns. These services aggregate data from thousands of sites to provide benchmarking and insights. While they collect information, it's typically anonymised and used for statistical purposes rather than individual tracking.
Our content delivery network also sets cookies to optimise how quickly pages load based on your location. Since we serve users across Australia, this helps ensure everyone gets fast access regardless of whether they're in Sydney or Perth.
Marketing platforms track conversions and measure campaign effectiveness. If you've clicked through from an advertisement or email, these cookies help us understand which outreach efforts are working and which need refinement.
Changes to This Policy
Technology evolves, regulations change, and sometimes we adjust how we operate. When that happens, we'll update this policy to reflect current practices.
Significant changes will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top. For major updates that affect how we collect or use data, we might also send notifications through our usual communication channels.
We recommend checking back periodically if you're concerned about tracking practices. The date at the top shows when we last made modifications, so you'll know if anything's different since your last visit.
Questions About Our Cookie Usage?
If something in this policy doesn't make sense, or you want more details about how we handle tracking technologies, just get in touch. We'd rather clarify things now than have you wondering later.
