This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how StashTik ("StashTik", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") in connection with the website located at stashtik.app (the "Service"). This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
A Cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites function correctly, to operate more efficiently, and to provide information to the operators of the website. Similar technologies include HTML5 local storage and session storage, which allow websites to store data locally within your browser, and pixel tags (also known as web beacons) which are small graphic files used to monitor activity on websites.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
The Service uses the following categories of Cookies:
- Strictly necessary Cookies. These Cookies are required for the operation of the Service and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your theme preference or remembering that you have dismissed a banner.
- Performance and analytics Cookies. Where applicable, we may employ first-party analytics tools that collect aggregated, non-identifying usage statistics (such as page views, country-level traffic, and approximate session duration) to help us understand how the Service is used and to improve it. These Cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you.
- Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense). The Service displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. Google and its partners use Cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to: (i) serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites; (ii) measure ad performance and frequency; (iii) prevent fraud and abuse; and (iv) where lawful, personalize the ads you see. The DoubleClick DART cookie is one such Cookie that Google may use.
3. Managing Advertising Cookies
You can control or opt out of personalized advertising in several ways:
- Visit Google Ads Settings to manage the ads Google shows you across the web.
- Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the EU, the EDAA page at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- Review Google's full advertising policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent banner is presented where required so that you can grant or refuse consent to non-essential and personalized advertising Cookies. Refusing consent will continue to allow non-personalized ads but may reduce their relevance.
4. Legal Basis
To the extent the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended) and the GDPR apply, strictly necessary Cookies are deployed on the legal basis that they are essential to provide a service expressly requested by you. Any non-essential Cookie or analytics technology will be deployed only where permitted by applicable law.
5. Managing Cookies
You may control, accept, refuse, or delete Cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary Cookies may impair the functionality of the Service or render parts of it inoperable. For guidance, consult the help documentation provided with your browser.
6. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service following any revision constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
