Understanding how thorellavianqu uses cookies and tracking technologies to enhance your meditative learning experience
What Are Cookies and How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. At thorellavianqu, we use various types of cookies and similar tracking technologies to make your experience with our meditative practices platform more personalized and effective. These digital tools help us remember your preferences, track your learning progress, and provide you with content that matches your meditation journey.
When you explore our courses on mindfulness, breathwork, or contemplative practices, cookies help us understand which techniques resonate most with our community. This information allows us to refine our course offerings and create more meaningful learning experiences for everyone who visits thorellavianqu.sbs.
️ Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into different types based on their function and purpose. Each category serves a specific role in delivering our meditative learning platform, and you have control over which types you'd like to allow.
These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure login to your meditation progress dashboard, and access to protected course materials. Without these cookies, you wouldn't be able to use essential features of our platform. These cannot be disabled as they're required for the site to work.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our meditation courses and content. We use Google Analytics and similar services to see which breathing exercises are most popular, how long people spend in guided meditations, and which learning paths are most effective. This data helps us improve our course structure and create better meditative experiences.
These cookies remember your choices and preferences to make your return visits more comfortable. They store settings like your preferred meditation session length, chosen background sounds, progress in course modules, and your selected instructor preferences. This makes each visit feel personalized to your meditation practice.
These cookies track your visit across our site and other websites to build a profile of your interests. We use this information to show you relevant content about meditation techniques, upcoming courses, and mindfulness resources that might interest you. They're also used to limit how many times you see the same advertisement and measure campaign effectiveness.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
You have complete control over how cookies are used during your visits to our meditation platform. Australian privacy regulations give you the right to know what information we collect, how we use it, and the ability to withdraw your consent at any time. We respect these rights and make it easy for you to manage your preferences.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, doing so might prevent you from accessing certain features of our meditation courses, such as tracking your progress through breathing exercises or saving your favorite guided meditations.
If you choose to disable analytics cookies, we won't be able to see how you use our site, but your meditation learning experience will remain fully functional. Disabling functional cookies means you'll need to reset your preferences each time you visit, but you'll still have access to all our courses and materials.
Data Retention and Third-Party Services
We retain cookie data for different periods depending on their purpose. Essential cookies are kept only as long as your browser session, while preference cookies might be stored for up to one year to remember your meditation settings. Analytics data is typically kept for 26 months, following Google Analytics standard practices.
Some of our cookies are set by third-party services that help us deliver our meditation platform. These include Google Analytics for understanding user behavior, payment processors for course enrollment, and content delivery networks that help our guided meditations load quickly across Australia and beyond.
We regularly review our cookie usage and remove any that are no longer necessary for providing our meditation learning services. When we update our cookie practices, we'll update this policy and notify you during your next visit to thorellavianqu.sbs.
