Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At cirellavento, we believe in being straightforward about how we collect and use data about you when you visit cirellavento.com. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We use various tracking methods to understand how visitors interact with our investment analysis platform and to provide personalized educational content that helps you make informed financial decisions.
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small data files or similar tools that websites place on your device when you visit them. These help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience over time.
We use several types of tracking methods across cirellavento.com, including traditional browser storage, session identifiers, and analytical markers. Each serves a specific purpose in delivering our investment education services to Australian investors.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Tracking
These are necessary for cirellavento.com to function properly. They enable core features like secure login access, course progress tracking, and your account preferences. Without these, our platform wouldn't work as intended.
Functional Tracking
These remember your choices and preferences, such as your selected investment topics, preferred chart settings, and language options. They make your experience more personalized each time you visit.
Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand how visitors navigate our educational content. This helps us identify which investment strategy guides are most helpful and where we can improve the learning experience.
Performance Tracking
These help us monitor site speed, identify technical issues, and ensure our financial calculators and analysis tools are working properly. They don't collect personal information about you.
How We Use Tracking Data
The information we collect through tracking technologies serves several practical purposes that benefit both you and our ability to provide quality investment education:
- Maintaining your login session so you don't have to sign in repeatedly during a single visit
- Remembering which webinars you've registered for and which courses you're currently taking
- Understanding which investment topics generate the most interest among Australian investors
- Identifying technical problems with our portfolio analysis tools before they affect many users
- Improving our educational content based on what actually helps people learn about investing
- Personalizing content recommendations based on your learning path and interests

Managing Your Tracking Preferences
Browser-Level Control
Most web browsers give you control over tracking technologies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the privacy or security section of your browser preferences.
Keep in mind that blocking essential tracking may prevent certain features of cirellavento.com from working properly, such as staying logged in or saving your progress through our courses.
Steps to Manage Tracking in Common Browsers
- Open your browser's settings menu (usually found by clicking the three dots or lines in the top corner)
- Navigate to the Privacy, Security, or Settings section
- Look for options related to tracking, site data, or privacy controls
- Adjust your preferences according to your comfort level
- Some browsers offer granular control, letting you block third-party tracking while allowing first-party tracking
Third-Party Services
We work with a limited number of trusted service providers who help us deliver our investment education platform. These partners may use their own tracking technologies when you interact with cirellavento.com.
For example, our video hosting provider may track which webinar recordings you watch to help us improve video quality and loading speeds. Our analytics partner helps us understand overall site usage patterns without identifying individual users.
We carefully select these partners and ensure they handle data responsibly. However, their use of tracking technologies is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Data Retention and Security
We retain tracking data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Essential tracking data is deleted when you close your browser or log out. Analytical data is typically retained for two years to help us identify long-term trends in how investors use our educational resources.
All tracking data is stored securely using industry-standard practices. We limit access to this information to team members who need it to improve our services, and we never sell tracking data to third parties.
Changes to This Policy
As we add new features to cirellavento.com or update our technology, we may need to modify this policy. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the date at the top of this page.
We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we're using tracking technologies. If you continue using cirellavento.com after we post changes, that indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Australian privacy law, you have certain rights regarding your personal information and how it's collected. You can request information about what tracking data we've collected about you, ask us to delete that data, or withdraw consent for non-essential tracking.
To exercise these rights or ask questions about our tracking practices, reach out to our team using the contact information below. We'll respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and work with you to address your concerns.
