Cookie Policy
Sttokes Educational Platform
This Cookie Policy explains how Sttokes uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It clarifies what these technologies are, why we use them, as well as your digital rights to control our use of them. We utilize these tools to remain compliant with global data principles, including the GDPR and Google Publisher Policies.
Transparency Commitment: Sttokes operates primarily as an educational center for broker comparisons and financial literacy. We use cookies to understand user interaction patterns, ensure technical stability, and optimize your navigation experience without capturing personal sensitive profiles.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Sttokes) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive advertising, analytical dashboards, and social media integration).
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Platform.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The specific categories of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are detailed below:
| Cookie Category | Description & Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas or navigating educational content blocks safely. |
| Performance and Functionality Cookies | These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like video guides) may become unavailable. |
| Analytics and Customization Cookies | These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you. |
| Advertising Cookies | These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. |
4. Google Analytics and Ad Services
Our platform uses Google Analytics and features derived from Google Publisher Tools to measure how readers engage with our broker comparisons, educational resources, and market updates. Google automatically deploys tracking cookies to evaluate web traffic data. Google's capacity to share or use information gathered through these metrics is bounded strictly by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google's primary Privacy Framework.
DART Cookie Framework: Third-party advertising networks, including Google, use cookies to deliver targeted ads based on your previous digital history across the broader web. You can entirely opt out of personalized tracking structures by modifying your settings inside the Google Ad Preference portal.
5. How Can You Control Cookies?

As the specific means or instructions via which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's official help menu for more information:

6. Other Tracking Technologies
From time to time, we may use similar technologies, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to improve online performance.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
