How we use tracking technologies at qulivon.com
We're straightforward about how qulivon.com tracks visitor activity. This page explains what happens when you browse our site, why we collect certain information, and how you can adjust your preferences.

What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit qulivon.com, small text files get stored in your browser. These help our site remember who you are between visits and how you interact with different pages.
Think of them as digital bookmarks. Some disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for weeks or months, depending on their purpose.
We also use pixel tags and similar tech that lets us track patterns across the site. Not at an individual level usually – more about understanding what sections people find useful or where they get stuck.
Types We Use
Why We Track This Stuff
- When you're comparing different business models, we remember which ones you've reviewed so you don't lose track
- If you're halfway through a financial planning guide, we'll keep your spot marked for next time
- We notice if everyone abandons a particular page halfway through – usually means we need to rewrite it
- Traffic patterns tell us which topics matter most to Australian entrepreneurs right now
- Form submissions help us understand what information you actually need versus what we think you need
- Regional data shows us if our Sydney-focused content resonates in Perth or Brisbane
Most of this data gets aggregated. We're looking at trends, not following individuals around the site. Though we do track user journeys to spot common pain points in the navigation.
Taking Control
Every modern browser lets you manage tracking preferences. The exact steps vary, but here's the general approach for popular options:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all third-party cookies, clear existing ones, or make exceptions for specific sites.
Firefox
Options → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection. Firefox blocks a lot by default. You can dial it up to Strict or create custom rules.
Safari
Preferences → Privacy. Safari's pretty aggressive about blocking cross-site tracking automatically. You can enable "Prevent cross-site tracking" if it's not already on.
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. Similar options to Chrome since they share underlying tech now.
Blocking everything will make some features stop working. If you're logged into your account, for example, and you clear all cookies, you'll get logged out. That's just how web authentication works.
How Long We Keep This Data
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Those are the ones that keep you logged in while you're actively using the site.
Persistent cookies last longer – typically between 30 days and 2 years, depending on their function. Preference settings might stick around for a year. Analytics data usually gets anonymized after a few months.
We review our retention periods annually. If we're holding onto something longer than we need to, we'll either delete it or shorten the timeframe. No point keeping old data that doesn't serve a purpose anymore.
Third-Party Tracking
Some tracking tech on qulivon.com comes from external services we use. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, embedded video players – they all add their own tracking layers.
We're selective about which third parties we work with. They need solid privacy policies and Australian data handling practices. But we can't control what they do with the information they collect.
If you want to block third-party trackers specifically, browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger can help. Just be aware they might break some embedded content.
What Gets Tracked
| Information Type | What We Collect | Why We Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Page Views | URLs you visit, time spent, scroll depth | Understanding which business topics get the most attention |
| Device Info | Browser type, screen size, operating system | Making sure the site works across different devices |
| Location | General region based on IP address | Tailoring content to Australian business conditions |
| Interactions | Button clicks, form submissions, downloads | Improving navigation and content structure |
| Referral Source | Where you came from before landing here | Measuring effectiveness of different channels |
Changes to This Policy
We update this page when we change how we handle tracking. Sometimes that's because we've added new features. Other times it's regulatory changes or shifts in industry standards.
Major updates get announced through email if you're subscribed. Minor clarifications just get made here with an updated date at the top.
We don't notify about every tiny wording change. But if we start collecting new types of data or change retention periods significantly, we'll let people know.
