Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2026This policy explains how calinovare.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and why we collect it. This isn't your typical legal document filled with jargon—we've written it in plain language so you actually know what's happening when you browse our site.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them like digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or access your personal files.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (we call these "session cookies"), while others stick around for longer periods (these are "persistent cookies"). We use both types at calinovare, and each serves a different purpose in making your experience smoother and more relevant.
The Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies are created equal. Here's a breakdown of the different categories we work with and what they actually do for you.
Essential Cookies Required
These are the cookies that keep our website functioning properly. Without them, certain features simply won't work. They handle things like remembering items in your inquiry form as you navigate between pages, maintaining your session when you're logged in, and ensuring secure connections. We don't need your permission for these because they're necessary for the basic operation of our site.
Functional Cookies Optional
These remember your preferences and choices to make your visits more personalized. For example, they'll recall if you've adjusted text size, chosen a specific layout view, or set language preferences. They make return visits feel more tailored to you, but the site will still work fine without them—you'll just need to reset your preferences each time.
Analytics Cookies Optional
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our site. They tell us which pages get the most traffic, how long people spend reading different sections, and where people tend to drop off. This information helps us improve our content and fix issues you might encounter. All this data is aggregated and anonymous—we're looking at patterns, not tracking individuals.
Marketing Cookies Optional
These track your browsing activity to help us show you more relevant content and understand which of our services might interest you most. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and avoid showing you the same content repeatedly. You can opt out of these entirely, though you might still see our content—it just won't be as tailored to your interests.
What We Actually Track
Let's get specific about the information we gather through cookies and what we do with it. We're not collecting data just for the sake of it—everything serves a purpose.
| Information Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session identifiers | Keep you logged in as you move between pages | Until you close your browser |
| Page visit history | Understand which content resonates with visitors | 30 days |
| Device and browser info | Ensure site displays correctly on your setup | 90 days |
| Referral sources | See how people find us and what brings them here | 60 days |
| Interaction patterns | Identify usability issues and improvement opportunities | 180 days |
| Content preferences | Show you more of what interests you | 365 days |
We regularly review and delete old data that's no longer useful. The durations listed above represent maximum retention periods—in many cases, we clear data more frequently than that.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You're in charge here. Every major browser gives you ways to manage cookies, and we respect whatever choices you make. Here's how to adjust your settings in the most common browsers.
Chrome: Click the three dots in the top-right corner, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, and select Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, allow all, or choose to block only third-party cookies.
Firefox: Open the menu, select Settings, then Privacy and Security. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, you can choose between Standard, Strict, or Custom protection levels. Each offers different cookie blocking capabilities.
Safari: Go to Preferences, click Privacy, and you'll see options to prevent cross-site tracking and block all cookies. Safari also shows you which websites have stored cookies on your device.
Edge: Click the three dots, select Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. You can manage which sites can use cookies and view all stored cookies by site.
What Happens When You Block Cookies?
If you block all cookies, certain features on our site won't work properly. You might need to re-enter information more frequently, your preferences won't be saved between visits, and some forms may not function correctly.
Blocking only third-party cookies is usually a good middle ground—our site will still function normally, but you'll limit tracking from external services we might use for analytics or marketing.
Third-Party Services and Their Cookies
We work with several external services that place their own cookies on your device. These help us analyze traffic, improve performance, and understand how people use our site. Here's who we partner with and why.
- Analytics platforms help us see which pages perform well and where we might be losing visitors due to confusing navigation or slow load times.
- Performance monitoring tools track how quickly our pages load and alert us to technical issues before they affect too many visitors.
- Content delivery networks ensure our site loads quickly no matter where you're accessing it from in Australia or beyond.
- Form processing services securely handle the information you submit through our contact and inquiry forms.
Each of these services has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data. We choose partners carefully based on their privacy practices and data protection standards. If you want to learn more about how these third parties use cookies, we can provide you with links to their policies.
How We Use Cookie Data
The information we gather through cookies serves several practical purposes. We're not collecting data just to have it sitting in a database somewhere—we actively use it to improve your experience and our services.
When we notice through analytics that visitors are bouncing off a particular page, that's our cue to review the content and figure out what's not working. If we see that most people are accessing our site from mobile devices, we prioritize mobile optimization in our development work.
Cookie data also helps us understand which resources and information our audience finds most valuable. If certain educational content gets significantly more engagement than other material, we know to create more in that vein. This feedback loop helps us focus our efforts where they'll be most useful.
Data Security Matters
We take the security of cookie data seriously. All information transmitted through cookies is encrypted, and we regularly audit our systems for vulnerabilities. We don't sell cookie data to anyone, and we limit internal access to only those team members who need it for their work.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, regulations evolve, and our practices adapt accordingly. When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update this policy and change the "Last Updated" date at the top.
For major changes that affect how we collect or use your data, we'll notify you through a banner on our website or via email if you're subscribed to our communications. We won't make substantial changes to how we handle your data without giving you a heads-up first.
We recommend checking back here occasionally, especially if you're concerned about privacy and data usage. The financial and tech landscape shifts quickly, and we want to make sure our practices keep pace with both technological capabilities and user expectations.
Questions About Our Cookie Use?
We know this stuff can be confusing, and we'd rather you ask than wonder. If anything in this policy isn't clear, or if you have specific concerns about how we're using cookies on your device, get in touch with us.
