Cookie Policy & Data Usage
At calovent, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information on our website. This policy explains how calovent.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience while providing business mentorship services across Australia.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember your preferences and improve how they work for you.
We also use other tracking technologies like web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. These work similarly to cookies but serve different purposes in making our business mentorship platform more effective.
How These Technologies Function on calovent.com
When you visit our site, these technologies help us understand how you interact with our content. For instance, if you're browsing our mentorship programs, cookies remember which pages you've viewed so we can show you relevant follow-up information during your next visit.
The data collected includes your browser type, pages visited, time spent on different sections, and general location information. We never collect personal financial information through cookies alone.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep our website functioning properly. They remember your login status, security preferences, and form submissions. Without these, you couldn't navigate between pages or access member areas effectively.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices like preferred language, region settings, and which mentorship topics interest you most. They make return visits more personalised and efficient.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which content helps our clients most. They track popular pages, common user journeys, and where visitors tend to spend time learning about business strategies.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant content about upcoming workshops, mentorship programs, or business resources. They ensure you see information that matches your expressed interests.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Here's what this means in practice: If you spend time reading about financial planning for small businesses, our system notes this interest. Next time you visit, you might see related articles about cash flow management or business budgeting tools prominently featured.
For our Australian clients, location tracking helps us show relevant information about local business regulations, state-specific opportunities, or mentorship sessions in your area.

- Analytics data is retained for up to 24 months to identify long-term trends

Third-Party Services and Integration
We work with trusted partners to provide comprehensive business mentorship services. Some third-party tools help us deliver webinars, process enquiries, or analyse website performance.
These partners have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We carefully select partners who maintain high standards for data protection and user privacy.
Popular third-party services we may integrate include analytics platforms, customer support systems, and educational content delivery networks. Each operates under strict data protection agreements with calovent.
Regular Policy Updates
As technology evolves and our mentorship services expand, we update this policy to reflect changes. We'll notify you of significant updates through email or website announcements.
Minor clarifications or technical updates happen without prior notice, but the fundamental principles of transparency and user control remain constant.
