Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2026We believe transparency matters when it comes to how websites work behind the scenes. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use at ulmorasyphi, why they're on our site, and what you can do about them.
Most startup ecosystem platforms rely on some form of tracking to function properly. We're no different. But we think you deserve to know exactly what's happening when you visit ulmorasyphi.com.
What Are These Tracking Things Anyway?
Small text files that websites save on your device. They remember things about your visit so you don't have to start from scratch every time you come back. Think of them as digital sticky notes.
Tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails. They help us understand which content actually gets read and which sits ignored. Honest feedback, even if silent.
A modern way browsers save information directly on your device. It's more efficient than traditional cookies and helps our platform respond faster to what you need.
The Different Types We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working. Without them, basic functions break. You can't disable these if you want to use our platform — they're part of the foundation.
- Remember your login session
- Keep your selected preferences during browsing
- Maintain security across page transitions
- Enable form submissions without data loss
Functional Cookies
These make your experience smoother by remembering choices you've made. Language preferences, layout options, that sort of thing.
- Your timezone for displaying event dates correctly
- Display preferences for content layout
- Saved filter settings in our resource library
- Audio/video player volume settings
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand what works and what doesn't. Which pages get visited, where people get stuck, how long content holds attention.
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Navigation paths through the site
- Device and browser information
- Geographic region (country/city level)
- Referral sources and search terms used
Marketing Cookies
Track activity across different sites to build a profile of interests. Used to show more relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness.
- Displaying relevant program recommendations
- Measuring ad campaign performance
- Understanding which channels bring visitors
- Preventing the same ad from showing repeatedly
How We Actually Use This Data
The practical stuff matters more than the categories. Here's what happens with the information we collect:
Keeping Things Running
Session cookies let you move between pages without losing your place. Security cookies prevent unauthorized access to your account. Error tracking helps us fix problems before they affect more people.
Making The Platform Better
We look at which resources get downloaded most, which learning paths people complete, where signup forms get abandoned. This tells us what needs improvement and what's working well.
Understanding Our Audience
Analytics show us whether we're reaching early-stage founders or established startup teams. Whether our content serves Australian entrepreneurs effectively. What topics need more depth.
Real example: We noticed about 40% of visitors were leaving our program application form at the employment history section. After simplifying that part, completion rates improved significantly. We wouldn't have caught that without tracking user behavior.
How Long This Information Sticks Around
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your active session and temporary preferences during a single visit |
| Authentication | 14 days | Keep you logged in so you don't need to sign in every visit |
| Preference Storage | 12 months | Remember settings like timezone and display options across visits |
| Analytics Tracking | 24 months | Understand long-term patterns in how people use the platform |
| Marketing Attribution | 90 days | Connect visitors to the campaigns or content that brought them here |
You can clear any of these manually through your browser settings. The site will create new ones when needed based on what you're doing.
Taking Control Of Your Tracking
You're not stuck with our default settings. Several ways exist to manage what gets tracked:
Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you control cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or get asked before accepting new ones. Here's where to find those controls:
Heads up: Blocking essential cookies will break core functionality. You won't be able to log in or use interactive features. The other types are optional, but limiting them affects how personalized your experience can be.
Third-Party Opt-Outs
Some tracking comes from services we integrate with. Analytics platforms, content delivery networks, embedded media players. Many offer their own opt-out mechanisms:
- Google Analytics: Install their browser add-on to prevent tracking across all sites using their service
- Advertising networks: Visit industry opt-out pages to control behavioral advertising
- Social media widgets: Log out of platforms or use private browsing to limit what they see
Mobile App Tracking
If you use our mobile app, similar technologies apply but work differently. Apps use device identifiers and local storage instead of browser cookies.
Both iOS and Android let you limit ad tracking through system settings. The app respects those preferences. You can also manage permissions for things like location data and usage analytics within the app settings themselves.
We collect crash reports and performance data to fix bugs and improve stability. This happens automatically but doesn't include personal information beyond basic device specs and app version.
Updates To This Policy
Technology changes. Our platform evolves. We add new features that might need different tracking approaches.
When we make meaningful changes to how we use tracking technologies, we'll update this policy and adjust the date at the top. Significant changes get announced through email to registered users.
Checking back occasionally makes sense if you want to stay informed about our practices. We try to keep the language straightforward and the information current.
Australian Privacy Considerations
Operating primarily in the Australian market means we follow local privacy principles. The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) guide how we handle personal information collected through tracking technologies.
You have rights under Australian privacy law to access information we've collected about you, request corrections, and lodge complaints if you believe we've mishandled your data.
For startup ecosystem participants, we understand that privacy matters differently when you're sharing business information versus personal details. We try to collect only what's necessary for the services you're actually using.
Questions About Our Tracking Practices?
We're available if you need clarity on how we use cookies and similar technologies. Sometimes seeing the policy in writing raises more questions than it answers.
