Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie typically includes the domain that created it, a value (commonly a random code) and an expiration time. Cookies are unable to access other files on your device and are not applications.

Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.

When a third-party cookie is not critical to operations, it is deployed only following your approval via the cookie consent interface. Should you request information on current external providers being used, reach out to our help desk and we will furnish current information.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Striven Steadex employs cookies to maintain website security and operation, to retain your preferences, to identify which sections provide value, and - with your permission - to evaluate how well our promotional efforts perform. Essential cookies are deployed immediately upon visiting the site as the site requires them to function. All remaining types activate only after you provide permission, which you may revoke at any point.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These record the preferences you select - such as language settings, location preference, layout choice or whether you have closed an alert message. They enhance user experience but are not required; should you decline them, the site operates normally and simply requests your settings each time you visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These assist us in tracking page visits, identifying which content is viewed, duration of stays and where problems arise. Results are presented in aggregate form: showing whether a page is popular or has performance issues, but not revealing your identity. We apply these findings to resolve issues and enhance site organization.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies persist only during your active browser session and are removed automatically upon closing the browser. Persistent cookies stay active until their scheduled removal date or until you clear them manually; on this site durations vary from several days to approximately twenty-four months based on function. Individual cookie duration is always viewable through your browser's data management options.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working: you may be unable to stay signed in, submit a form or complete a secure step. Blocking preference cookies means settings such as language are not remembered. Blocking analytics or marketing cookies has no effect on functionality - you will simply not be counted in our statistics and campaign measurement.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

Should you have concerns regarding this notice, require information on a particular cookie or need to invoke a privacy-related entitlement, kindly communicate with our help desk via the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
