Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2025
We believe in being upfront about how we track and collect data when you visit calyventos.com. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can control your preferences.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Look, cookies aren't actually food (disappointing, I know). They're small text files that get stored on your device when you browse websites. Think of them as tiny sticky notes that help websites remember things about you — your login status, preferences, or what you had in your shopping cart.
We use cookies and similar tracking tech to make calyventos.com work properly and give you a better experience. Some are essential. Others help us understand how people use our budget control tools so we can make improvements.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Without them, basic features like secure login or remembering your session just won't work. You can't opt out of these ones because they're necessary for the service.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices — like whether you prefer light or dark mode, or which currency format you've selected. They make your experience more personalized without tracking you across the web.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our budget tools. Which features get used most? Where do people get stuck? This data helps us fix problems and build better features.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey around calyventos.com so we can show you relevant content about our services. We don't share this data with third parties for their advertising purposes.
Specific Cookies We Set
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| domain_session | Maintains your login session and security verification | Session (deleted when you close browser) |
| budget_preferences | Stores your dashboard layout and display settings | 12 months |
| analytics_id | Anonymous identifier for usage analytics | 24 months |
| consent_status | Remembers your cookie preferences | 12 months |
How Cookies Improve Your Experience
- Keep you logged in as you move between pages instead of asking for credentials constantly
- Remember which budget categories you've customized so you don't have to set them up each visit
- Save your notification preferences so we only alert you about things you care about
- Help us spot technical issues by tracking error patterns across different browsers
- Let us test new features with small groups before rolling them out to everyone
- Enable faster page loading by storing certain elements locally on your device
Without cookies, using calyventos.com would be frustrating. You'd need to log in repeatedly, reset your preferences constantly, and we'd have no way to improve the service based on real usage patterns.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that may set their own cookies. For example, our analytics provider helps us understand traffic patterns, and our payment processor needs to verify transactions securely.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We only work with services that meet Australian privacy standards and don't sell your data to advertisers.
Currently, we integrate with payment gateways for subscription processing and analytics tools for performance monitoring. Each of these services operates under strict data protection agreements.
Taking Control of Your Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies. The most straightforward approach is through your browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies.
Browser Settings
Access your browser's privacy or settings menu. You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break some site functionality.
Private Browsing Mode
Use incognito or private browsing mode when you want a cookieless session. This prevents any tracking during that browsing session, though you'll lose conveniences like saved logins.
Opt-Out Tools
Browser extensions and privacy tools can block tracking cookies across all websites. Popular options include privacy-focused extensions that give you granular control over which sites can track you.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here are direct links to help pages for common browsers:
Data Retention and Security
We don't keep cookie data indefinitely. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have set expiration dates — typically between 12 and 24 months.
Security Measures
All cookies containing sensitive information are encrypted and transmitted over secure connections. We regularly audit our tracking implementations to make sure we're only collecting data we actually need.
Cookie data is stored securely and access is restricted to team members who need it for specific purposes like debugging issues or analyzing usage patterns.
If you delete your account, we remove all associated cookie identifiers within 30 days. You can also manually clear cookies through your account settings at any time.
Updates to This Policy
We'll update this policy when we add new tracking technologies or change how we use existing ones. The "last updated" date at the top shows when we made the most recent changes.
Significant changes will be announced through email to registered users. For minor clarifications or formatting updates, we'll just update the policy here without separate notification.
