Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At corivastelo, we use tracking technologies to help our platform work smoothly and understand how visitors interact with our financial education resources. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences.
What Are Tracking Technologies
Tracking technologies are small data files or code snippets that get stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand which parts of our platform are most helpful to Australian business owners looking to improve their financial processes.
The main types we use include browser storage elements, session identifiers, and analytical markers. Some stick around after you close your browser, while others disappear once you leave the site. Think of them as digital bookmarks that help both you and us navigate more efficiently.
Types of Tracking We Use
We've organized our tracking into four categories based on what they do. Each serves a different purpose in making your experience better.
Essential Operations
These make the website actually work. They handle things like security checks, form submissions, and keeping you logged into your account. Without them, basic features would break.
Functional Features
These remember your choices and settings. Language preferences, display options, and customized dashboard layouts all rely on functional tracking to stick around between visits.
Performance Tracking
We use these to see which resources get used most and where people tend to get stuck. This helps us figure out what's working and what needs improvement in our educational materials.
Marketing Tools
These help us show relevant content recommendations and measure how effective our outreach efforts are. They also prevent you from seeing the same promotional message repeatedly.
How We Actually Use This Information
Here's what happens with the data we collect through these tracking technologies.
Platform Improvement
We look at usage patterns to spot which financial topics generate the most interest among Australian businesses. If we notice lots of people accessing cash flow management resources, we might create more content in that area. When users struggle to find specific information, we redesign navigation to make it easier.
Personalized Experience
Your preferences matter. If you're consistently looking at resources about process automation, we'll prioritize showing you related materials. This saves you from scrolling through dozens of unrelated topics every time you visit.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Tracking helps us spot unusual activity patterns that might indicate someone trying to access your account without permission. We monitor login locations, session duration, and navigation patterns to keep your information secure.
Content Effectiveness
We need to know if our educational materials actually help people. Tracking shows us which resources get saved, shared, or revisited most often. This tells us what's genuinely useful versus what's just taking up space on the platform.
Managing Your Browser Settings
You're not stuck with default tracking settings. Every major browser gives you control over what gets stored on your device. The exact steps vary, but here's where to find these options in common browsers.
| Browser | How to Access Controls |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Open Settings, click Privacy and Security, then select Cookies and Site Data. You can block all tracking, allow only certain sites, or clear existing data here. |
| Firefox | Go to Options, select Privacy and Security from the sidebar. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with three preset levels you can choose from. |
| Safari | Find Preferences in the Safari menu, click Privacy tab. Safari blocks most third-party tracking by default but you can adjust this. |
| Edge | Click Settings, navigate to Privacy and Services. Edge uses three tracking prevention levels: Basic, Balanced, and Strict. |
Important Note About Blocking
If you block all tracking technologies, some features won't work properly. You might get logged out constantly, lose your preferences, or see error messages on forms. Essential operations tracking needs to stay active for the platform to function.
We recommend allowing essential and functional categories while being selective about performance and marketing tracking based on your comfort level.
Data Retention Periods
Different types of tracking data stick around for different lengths of time based on what they do.
Storage Duration by Category
Session-Only Storage
Some tracking elements disappear the moment you close your browser. These handle temporary things like form data you're currently entering or which page you're on right now.
30-Day Retention
Performance tracking typically lasts about a month. This gives us enough time to analyze usage patterns without keeping data longer than necessary.
Six-Month Storage
Marketing preference tracking might last up to six months so we don't repeatedly show you information about programs you've already indicated you're not interested in.
One-Year Maximum
Authentication and security-related tracking can last up to twelve months for accounts that stay active. This helps us recognize your device and reduce unnecessary security checks.
Third-Party Services
Some tracking technologies on our site come from external services we use to run the platform effectively. Analytics tools, payment processors, and content delivery networks all place their own tracking elements.
We only work with service providers who commit to protecting your information and limiting how they use collected data. However, those third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle information. We can't control their practices beyond choosing reputable partners.
If you want to know more about specific third-party tracking on our site, reach out to our support team and we'll provide details about which services we're currently using and links to their privacy policies.
Mobile App Tracking
If you use our mobile application, similar tracking technologies work through app-based storage systems rather than browser mechanisms. The categories and purposes remain the same, but the technical implementation differs.
Mobile devices give you control through system-level settings. On iOS, check Settings under Privacy. Android users should look in Settings under Google or Privacy depending on their device manufacturer.
Changes to This Policy
Technology evolves and so do our practices. 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 will also trigger a notification when you next log into your account.
We recommend checking back periodically if you're interested in staying current with our data practices. The last major update happened in early 2025 when we refined our retention periods and clarified the distinction between functional and performance tracking.
