What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They store information about your browsing session and preferences. Most websites use them in some capacity because they make browsing smoother and more personalized.

When you visit calorinexav.com, your browser may store several types of cookies depending on your settings. Some help the site work properly. Others collect data about how you interact with our content. And yes, we think it's important you know exactly what's happening behind the scenes.

Types of Tracking We Use

Why We Track This Information

Here's the honest answer: we want to know if what we're doing actually helps people. When someone spends twenty minutes reading our portfolio strategy guide versus thirty seconds, that tells us something. When visitors from Melbourne engage differently than those from Sydney, we can tailor content accordingly.

Without this data, we'd basically be guessing about what works and what doesn't. That said, we're careful about what we collect and how long we keep it.

What Essential Cookies Do

These are the non-negotiable ones. They handle authentication (so you don't have to log in every five minutes), maintain your session state, and ensure security features work properly. Disabling them would make the site largely unusable.

Analytics and Performance Tracking

We use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand site performance. This includes page load times, navigation patterns, device types, and geographic location (at the city level, not your specific address).

The data gets aggregated, meaning we look at patterns across thousands of users rather than tracking individuals. We can see that "200 people from Victoria visited the portfolio diversification guide this week," but we don't know who those specific people are.

How Long We Keep This Data

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Preference cookies might stick around for a year so we remember your settings. Analytics data typically gets aggregated and anonymized after a few months.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have complete control over which cookies you accept. The button at the top of this page lets you decline all non-essential tracking with one click. That preference gets saved in your browser's local storage.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies. Be aware that blocking all cookies might affect how the site functions—you might have to log in repeatedly or lose personalized features.

Third-Party Tracking

Some cookies come from external services we use—analytics platforms, content delivery networks, and embedded media players. We try to minimize these, but they're sometimes necessary for functionality.

When you watch an embedded video or interact with certain features, those third-party services might set their own cookies. We don't control those directly, but we only work with providers who meet basic privacy standards. You can block third-party cookies separately in most browsers without affecting first-party cookies from calorinexav.com.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when we change how we use tracking technologies or when regulations require it. Major changes get announced through email or site notifications. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last revised this document.

If you disagree with changes, you can always decline non-essential cookies or stop using the site. We know that sounds harsh, but we'd rather be direct about your options than pretend you don't have them.
