Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At paventarilo, we believe in being straightforward about how we collect and use data when you visit paventarilo.com. This policy explains the tracking technologies we use and why they matter for your experience. We're not lawyers, so we've written this in plain English.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that live on your device when you browse websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you – like your preferences or what you had in your cart. They're not programs and can't carry viruses or malware.
We also use similar technologies like pixels, tags, and local storage. They all do roughly the same thing – help us understand how people interact with our site and improve the experience for Australian startup founders and finance professionals.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Essential Operations
These keep the site functional. They remember your login status, form inputs, and navigation preferences. Without them, you'd have to re-enter information constantly.
Performance Tracking
We track which pages get visited most, where people spend time, and what content resonates. This helps us know what's working and what needs improvement.
Functionality Features
These remember your choices like preferred language settings, region selections, or customized dashboard layouts. They make your return visits smoother.
Marketing Insights
We use these to understand which of our educational content and resources connect with our audience. They help us create better materials for startup founders.
Types of Cookies We Deploy
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Temporary storage while you browse. Disappear when you close your browser. | Session only |
| Persistent Cookies | Stay on your device to remember preferences across visits. | Up to 24 months |
| First-Party Cookies | Set directly by paventarilo.com for our own analytics and functionality. | Varies by function |
| Third-Party Cookies | Placed by external services we use for analytics and content delivery. | Varies by provider |
What Gets Collected
- Browser type and version you're using to access our site
- Device information including operating system and screen resolution
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on each section
- Links and buttons you click while navigating
- General location data based on IP address (city and state level, not precise)
- Referring website that brought you to paventarilo.com
- Time and date of your visits for traffic pattern analysis
Why This Matters for You
These tracking tools help us understand what startup founders in Australia actually need. When we see that certain strategy guides get heavy traffic or that mobile users struggle with specific features, we can make targeted improvements. It's genuinely useful feedback that shapes how we develop content and resources.
Managing Your Preferences
You've got control over how cookies work on your device. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set preferences for specific sites. Here's how different browsers handle it:
Browser Controls
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies might break some functionality. You won't be able to stay logged in, and we can't remember your preferences. Some features just need cookies to work properly.
Third-Party Services
We work with external providers who place their own cookies when you use paventarilo.com. These include analytics platforms that help us understand site performance and content delivery networks that speed up page loading. Each service has its own privacy policy explaining how they handle data.
We're selective about who we work with and only use services that align with Australian privacy standards. But once a third party sets a cookie, their policy governs how that data gets used.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time based on what they do. Session cookies vanish immediately when you close your browser. Preference cookies might last a year or two so we can remember your settings. Analytics cookies typically expire after two years, though we often clear them sooner.
We regularly review stored data and clear out anything that's no longer needed. There's no point keeping old information that doesn't serve a current purpose.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do the tools we use. When we add new tracking methods or change how we handle data, we'll update this policy and note the revision date at the top. We won't send individual notifications for minor updates, so check back occasionally if you're interested in staying current.
Major changes that affect your privacy rights will get more prominent notification on our site.
Questions About Cookies?
