Cookie & Tracking Policy
Understanding how caloryniva collects and uses data to enhance your budgeting experience
At caloryniva, we believe transparency builds trust. This policy explains how we use cookies and tracking technologies on caloryniva.com to provide you with personalised financial insights and improve our activity-based budgeting platform. We're committed to giving you control over your data while delivering the tools you need for smarter financial management.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small data files and scripts that help websites function properly and understand how visitors interact with content. Think of them as digital helpers that remember your preferences and analyse website performance.
On caloryniva.com, we use several types of tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage. These work together to create a seamless experience while you explore our budgeting resources and plan your financial activities.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Tracking
These technologies are necessary for our website to function properly. They handle basic operations like security, navigation, and form submissions. You can't opt out of these as they're required for the site to work.
Functional Tracking
These enhance your experience by remembering your choices and preferences. They help us provide personalised content and remember your settings across visits.
Analytics Tracking
We use these to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve our content and tools. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users.
Marketing Tracking
These help us show you relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. They can track you across different websites to build a profile of your interests.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Our tracking technologies work behind the scenes to make your visit to caloryniva.com more valuable. When you use our budget calculators, we remember your inputs so you don't have to start from scratch each time. If you're exploring different budgeting methods, we can suggest related articles based on what you've read.
For example, if you frequently access our business budgeting resources, we'll prioritise showing you updates about activity-based budgeting techniques. This personalisation helps you focus on the financial strategies most relevant to your situation.
Data Retention and Storage
Different types of tracking data are kept for different periods. Essential cookies last only for your browser session, while preference cookies might be stored for up to a year. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months to help us identify long-term trends in how our tools are used.
Marketing tracking data varies depending on the specific service, but we regularly review and delete data that's no longer needed. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.
Managing Your Tracking Preferences
You have several options for controlling how tracking technologies work on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, and you can choose to block certain types while allowing others.
Browser Settings
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Look for "Privacy" or "Security" settings in your browser preferences. You can usually choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or create exceptions for specific sites like caloryniva.com.
Private Browsing
Using incognito or private browsing mode prevents most tracking technologies from being stored permanently. However, this also means you'll lose the benefits of personalisation and may need to re-enter preferences each visit.
Browser Extensions
Privacy-focused browser extensions can give you granular control over tracking. These tools often provide detailed information about what's being blocked and allow you to make exceptions for trusted sites.
Device Settings
Mobile devices often have privacy settings that limit tracking across apps and websites. Check your phone's privacy settings to control location tracking and limit ad personalisation.
Common Browser Configuration Steps
Third-Party Services
Some tracking on our site comes from third-party services we use to provide additional functionality. This includes analytics providers, content delivery networks, and educational resource platforms. Each of these services has their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data.
We carefully select third-party partners who share our commitment to data protection. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external services if you have specific concerns about data handling.
Important: Impact of Blocking Tracking
While you can block most tracking technologies, doing so may affect your experience on caloryniva.com. You might lose access to personalised budgeting recommendations, need to re-enter preferences frequently, or encounter issues with our interactive tools. We recommend allowing functional cookies while blocking marketing cookies if you want to balance privacy with usability.
Updates to This Policy
We review this policy regularly and update it as needed to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our services. When we make significant changes, we'll notify users through our website or email communications.
The current version of this policy is effective as of January 2025. Previous versions are archived and available upon request for users who need to reference historical privacy practices.
