Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They're like digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit. At inveltraconnect, we use various tracking technologies including cookies, web beacons, and local storage to make your experience smoother and more personalized.

Think of cookies as your website's memory. Without them, every time you navigate to a new page, the site would forget who you are and what you were doing. That's why when you log into inveltraconnect, you don't have to re-enter your credentials on every page – cookies help us remember that you're already authenticated.

We also use more sophisticated tracking methods like pixel tags and web beacons. These are tiny, invisible images embedded in our web pages that help us track user engagement and measure the effectiveness of our content. You won't see these pixels, but they're working behind the scenes to gather valuable analytics data.

The data we collect through tracking technologies serves several important purposes that directly benefit your experience on inveltraconnect. We use this information to understand user behavior patterns, optimize our platform's performance, and provide personalized recommendations for fundraising opportunities.

For instance, when we notice that users frequently visit certain types of startup profiles, we can improve our recommendation algorithm to surface similar opportunities. If our analytics show that users are struggling with a particular feature, we can prioritize improvements to that area of the platform.

• Analyzing user engagement patterns to improve our platform's usability and functionality
• Personalizing content recommendations based on your browsing history and preferences
• Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and promotional materials
• Detecting and preventing fraudulent activities to protect our users and platform integrity
• Optimizing website performance and loading times based on user device and connection data
• Providing customer support by understanding how users interact with our platform
• Conducting A/B tests to improve features and user interface design
• Tracking conversion rates to understand which content resonates most with our audience

We also use tracking data for security purposes. By monitoring login patterns and user behavior, we can detect unusual activity that might indicate unauthorized access to your account. This helps us protect your personal information and maintain the security of our platform.

You have several options for controlling how cookies and tracking technologies work on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their privacy or security settings. However, keep in mind that disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use all features of our platform.

Here's how you can manage cookies in popular browsers. In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. From there, you can choose to block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or set up exceptions for specific sites like inveltraconnect.

If you choose to disable cookies entirely, you'll still be able to browse inveltraconnect, but some features may not work as expected. For example, you might need to log in repeatedly, your preferences won't be saved between sessions, and you won't receive personalized startup recommendations.

• Use your browser's incognito or private browsing mode to prevent cookies from being stored
• Install browser extensions that block tracking cookies while allowing essential ones
• Regularly clear your browser's cookie cache to remove stored tracking data
• Configure your browser to ask permission before accepting cookies from websites
• Use browser settings to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones
• Enable "Do Not Track" requests in your browser settings
• Consider using privacy-focused browsers that block tracking by default

We respect your privacy choices and will honor your browser's "Do Not Track" signals where technically feasible. However, please note that some essential cookies are necessary for our platform to function properly, and these cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use inveltraconnect's core features.

If you're using inveltraconnect for business purposes, you might want to consider the impact of cookie restrictions on your ability to track your own fundraising campaign's performance. Our analytics tools rely on cookies to provide accurate data about visitor engagement and conversion rates.

For mobile users, cookie management works differently. Most mobile browsers have limited cookie control options compared to desktop browsers. However, you can usually find basic cookie settings in your mobile browser's privacy or security section. iOS users can also manage website tracking through Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

We update our cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in technology and regulations. When we make significant changes to how we use tracking technologies, we'll notify you through our website or via email. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.
