We believe you deserve clear answers about how your information gets handled when you visit our site. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Last thing we want is for this to feel like legal jargon. So we've written it in plain language that actually makes sense.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them like digital breadcrumbs that help sites remember who you are and what you've done.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. They just sit there holding bits of information – like your language preference or whether you've logged in before.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for months or even years, depending on their purpose.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. Without them, basic features like secure login or course registration wouldn't function. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people navigate our site. Which pages get visited most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us make the experience better for everyone.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – like your preferred timezone or whether you want emails about new courses. They make your visits more personalized and convenient.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing to show relevant content and courses. They help us avoid showing you information about programs you've already seen or aren't interested in.
How We Actually Use This Technology
Here's what happens in practice. When you land on jornatryvos.com, cookies help us recognize whether you've been here before. If you have, we can show you where you left off in your learning journey.
Say you're browsing our upcoming courses section. Cookies remember which programs you clicked on so we can suggest similar options that might interest you. Not in a creepy way – just helpful recommendations based on what you've already shown interest in.
Specific Ways Cookies Enhance Your Experience
- Keeping you logged in as you move between pages instead of asking for credentials every single time
- Remembering which courses you've added to your wishlist so they're there when you come back
- Storing your progress through our learning resources so you don't lose your place
- Loading pages faster by remembering your device and connection preferences
- Showing course schedules in your local timezone without you having to set it each visit
- Understanding which educational content resonates most so we can create more of what works
- Detecting potential security issues and protecting your account from unauthorized access
Third-Party Tracking
Some cookies come from services we use rather than directly from us. For example, if we embed a video from an educational platform, that platform might set its own cookies.
We're selective about which third parties we work with. But you should know that these external services have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.
Common third-party cookies on our site might come from analytics tools, email service providers, or educational resource platforms we've integrated into our programs.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or delete existing ones. Just know that doing so might affect how well the site works for you.
Each browser handles this differently, but the option is usually found in your settings or preferences menu under privacy or security.
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies or just third-party ones.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose between standard, strict, or custom protection.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies. You can also manage website data from here.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Select your preferred level of blocking.
How Long Do Cookies Stick Around?
Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last longer – anywhere from a few days to several years depending on their purpose. We try to keep retention periods reasonable. Marketing cookies typically expire after 30 days, while functional preferences might last up to a year.
Your Rights and Choices
You can request information about what data we've collected through cookies. You can also ask us to delete it, though this might affect your ability to use certain features.
If you're in Australia, you have specific rights under the Privacy Act 1988. We respect those rights and will work with you to address any concerns about how we're handling your information.
We don't sell your data to third parties. That's not our business model and never will be.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our practices evolve. When we make significant updates to how we use cookies, we'll post the changes here and update the effective date below.
We won't make changes that significantly expand how we use your data without giving you notice and getting your consent where required by law.
