Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
We use various tracking technologies on lymariqensa.com to make your experience smoother and more relevant. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in being straightforward about what happens when you visit our site.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small files or scripts that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Most people call them cookies, though there are actually several different types. They help websites remember things about you – like your login status, language preferences, or what you had in your shopping cart.
Think of them as digital sticky notes. When you come back to lymariqensa.com, these notes help us recognize you and remember your preferences. Some stick around for just one session, while others hang out on your device for months or even years.
Types of Tracking We Use
1 Essential Trackers
These keep the site running properly. Without them, you can't log in, submit forms, or navigate between sections. They're the foundation that makes lymariqensa.com actually work.
2 Functional Trackers
These remember your choices – like your preferred language or region settings. They make your experience more personalized without tracking what you do elsewhere on the web.
3 Analytical Trackers
We use these to understand how people interact with our site. Which pages get the most visits? Where do people drop off? This helps us fix problems and improve things.
4 Marketing Trackers
These help us show you relevant information based on your interests. They also prevent you from seeing the same content repeatedly and help us measure whether our communications are effective.
How We Actually Use This Information
Let's be specific about what happens behind the scenes. When you're working through our budget approval workflow tools, we track which features you use most often. This isn't about surveillance – it's about making those features easier to find and better to use.
For example: If we notice that people consistently abandon a form at a particular step, that's a red flag. Maybe the instructions aren't clear. Maybe there's a technical glitch. Without tracking data, we'd be guessing. With it, we can actually fix the problem.
We also look at session duration and navigation patterns. If most people leave after viewing just one page, something's wrong with how we're presenting information. If they browse multiple sections, we're probably doing something right.
The marketing trackers deserve special mention because they sometimes make people uncomfortable. Here's what actually happens: when you visit certain pages about budget workflows or approval processes, we might show you related content later. But we don't track your activity across unrelated websites, and we definitely don't sell your browsing history to third parties.
Duration and Storage
Different trackers stick around for different lengths of time. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies can last anywhere from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose.
| Tracker Type | Typical Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Authentication | Until browser closes | Keeps you logged in during your visit |
| Preference Settings | 6-12 months | Remembers your choices between visits |
| Analytics Data | 24 months | Tracks usage patterns for improvements |
| Marketing Identifiers | 12 months | Measures campaign effectiveness |
You might wonder why some last so long. Analytics data needs time to show meaningful patterns. If we only looked at one week's worth of data, we might make changes based on temporary anomalies rather than actual user needs.
Taking Control of Your Settings
You're not stuck with whatever tracking we've set up. Every major browser gives you tools to manage or block cookies entirely. The catch? Blocking everything will break parts of lymariqensa.com that need those essential trackers to function.
Browser Settings: Look for a privacy or security section in your browser settings. You'll find options to view, delete, or block cookies there. Most browsers let you set exceptions for specific sites.
Third-Party Tools: Browser extensions can give you more granular control over tracking. Some show you exactly which trackers are active on each page and let you block specific ones.
Private Browsing: Incognito or private mode prevents most persistent tracking. Just remember that it doesn't make you invisible – your internet provider and the websites you visit can still see your activity.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.

Edge
Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. Three levels of tracking prevention available.
What Happens When You Block Trackers
Blocking everything sounds appealing, but it comes with trade-offs. You'll probably need to log in every single time you visit. Your preferences won't save. Some interactive features might stop working entirely.
A balanced approach works better for most people. Keep essential and functional trackers enabled. Block or limit marketing trackers if they bother you. Allow analytics if you want to help us improve the site, or block them if you'd rather not share that information.
We've designed lymariqensa.com to function with various tracking configurations. You won't break the entire site by tweaking your settings. The core budget approval workflow features work regardless of your cookie preferences.
Changes and Updates
Technology changes. Privacy regulations evolve. We'll update this policy when we need to add new tracking methods or remove outdated ones. The date at the top shows when we last made changes.
Major changes will be announced through our usual communication channels. Minor technical updates might happen without specific notification – like when we switch analytics providers but don't change what data we collect or how we use it.
Your Data Rights
Australian privacy laws give you specific rights regarding your data. You can request to see what information we've collected about you. You can ask us to delete it. You can tell us to stop using it for marketing purposes.
- Access your tracking data and see what we've recorded
- Request deletion of your stored preferences and usage history
- Opt out of marketing communications and related tracking
- Download a copy of your data in a readable format
- Lodge a complaint if you think we've mishandled your information
These aren't just theoretical rights. We've built systems to actually fulfill these requests. Response times vary depending on complexity, but we aim to handle most requests within two weeks.
Questions or Concerns?
If something in this policy doesn't make sense, or if you want to exercise your data rights, get in touch. We'd rather answer your questions than have you worry about what's happening with your information.
