Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
We think you deserve to know exactly what happens when you visit our site. This policy explains how golinaprexi.com uses cookies and similar tracking tools to make your experience better and help us understand what's working.
We're not here to hide behind legal jargon. You'll find straightforward explanations about what we track, why we track it, and how you can control it. If something's unclear, reach out—we actually want to hear from you.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember who you are and what you've done.
They can't access your files or install anything harmful. They just sit there quietly, storing bits of information like your language preference or whether you've logged in.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies). Others stick around for weeks or months (persistent cookies). We use both types, depending on what makes sense.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, you couldn't navigate properly or access secure areas. We can't turn these off because, well, they're essential. They remember things like your session ID and whether you're logged in.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices to make things more convenient. Language preferences, region settings, customization options—that sort of thing. They're not strictly necessary but they definitely make life easier.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people actually use our site. Which pages get the most traffic? Where do people get stuck? What content helps them most? This information guides our decisions about what to improve.
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across websites to help us show you relevant content. They're used for targeted advertising and measuring campaign effectiveness. You can reject these entirely—see the control panel below.

Data Retention and Your Rights
Cookie data doesn't live forever. We automatically delete analytics cookies after 24 months and marketing cookies after 6 months. Essential cookies expire when you close your browser or after a set period based on security needs.
You have the right to access the cookie data we've collected about you. You can also request deletion of non-essential cookie data at any time. Just contact us and we'll sort it out within 30 days.
If you're in Australia, you have specific rights under the Privacy Act 1988. We take those responsibilities seriously and comply with Australian Privacy Principles.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through a banner on the site or via email if you're registered.
The date at the top of this page shows when we last updated the policy. It's worth checking back every few months if you're curious about changes.
