Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time, providing a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies are widely used and don't harm your device. They can't access data on your hard drive or transmit viruses. However, they can be used to track your browsing behavior across different websites.

2. How We Use Cookies

StratCoreAlpha uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings
• Marketing Cookies: Used for Google Ads conversion measurement and campaign attribution when you consent

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems:

• Session identifiers
• Security tokens
• Load balancing cookies
• Language preferences

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (with anonymized IP addresses) to analyze website traffic:

• Number of visitors
• Pages visited
• Time spent on site
• Device and browser information

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance your experience:

• Remembering form data
• Cookie consent preferences

3.4 Advertising measurement

Google Consent Mode starts with analytics and advertising storage denied. Google tags may send consent-state and cookieless measurement signals. Advertising cookies and persistent Google Ads attribution are enabled only after you accept marketing cookies.

With marketing consent, campaign parameters such as UTM values, gclid, gbraid and wbraid may be stored with a scope request or completed order so the originating campaign can be measured. With marketing consent declined, these advertising identifiers are not attached to the request.

The browser attribution record expires after 90 days and is removed sooner if you withdraw marketing consent or clear site storage. Attribution attached to a submitted lead or completed order follows the retention period of that business record.
