What Are Tracking Technologies?
When you visit calivornetha.com, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to collect information about how you interact with our website. Think of these as small digital helpers that remember your preferences and help us provide a better experience.
These technologies work behind the scenes, storing tiny pieces of information on your device or in your browser. Some are essential for basic website functionality – like keeping you logged in – while others help us understand which content resonates most with our Australian audience and how we can improve our financial services.

How We Use Tracking Data
Our tracking technologies serve specific purposes that directly benefit your experience. When you browse our financial resources, we collect data about which articles you find most valuable, how long you spend reading different topics, and which tools you access most frequently.
This information helps us understand the needs of our Australian community better. For instance, if we notice increased interest in retirement planning resources during certain months, we can ensure those sections load faster and provide more comprehensive content during peak periods.
- Remembering your dashboard customization preferences
- Tracking which financial calculators are most popular
- Analyzing user journey patterns to optimize content placement
- Measuring engagement with educational webinars and resources
- Personalizing content recommendations based on your interests
- Monitoring website performance and identifying technical issues

Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months, and marketing cookies typically expire after 90 days unless refreshed by continued website interaction.
