This Cookie Policy explains how stradacarnews.com, operated by Strada Media Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy. We keep our cookie use minimal — in line with being a reader-supported, independent publication rather than an ad-funded one.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between pages or visits — for example that a session is active — and help site owners understand, in aggregate, how pages are used. Some cookies last only for your visit ("session" cookies); others persist for a set period ("persistent" cookies).
The cookies we use
- Essential cookies. These are necessary for the Site to function — keeping your session secure, remembering basic preferences, and supporting the checkout when you buy a guide or course. The Site won't work properly without them, so they're always on and don't require consent.
- Analytics cookies. These help us understand which articles are read and how the Site performs, in mostly aggregated form, so we can improve our coverage. They're optional and only set with your consent.
No advertising cookies
We do not use advertising or ad-targeting cookies, and we do not sell or share cookie data with advertising networks or data brokers. We don't run third-party ad trackers across the Site. Because Strada carries no sponsored content and no affiliate links, there's nothing for that kind of cookie to do here.
Consent
When you first visit, we ask for your consent to non-essential (analytics) cookies. Essential cookies are set regardless because the Site can't run without them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie controls on the Site, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Controlling cookies in your browser
You're always in control. Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies through its settings — usually under "Privacy" or "Cookies and site data". You can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear what's already stored. Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the Site, including checkout, from working correctly. Browser help pages explain the exact steps for your version.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy if our cookie use changes; the current version is always the one published here. If you have questions about how we use cookies, get in touch through our contact page.
