This Cookie Policy explains how StratOps Core LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on stratops-core.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By “cookies” we mean cookies and similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage.

Summary: we use a small number of essential cookies to make the Site and checkout work, and — only if you consent, Google Analytics cookies to understand how the Site is used. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, and change your choice at any time.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognize your device, remember your actions and preferences, and function correctly. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) perform comparable functions. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us (“first-party”) or by a third party whose service we use (“third-party”).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for two purposes only:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required to operate the Site, secure it, enable the checkout, and keep you logged into your customer dashboard. These cannot be switched off through our banner because the Site cannot function properly without them.
• Analytics cookies (optional) — set by Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. These are used only with your consent.

We do not use marketing, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies, and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell your data.

3. Our Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Where the EU ePrivacy rules and the GDPR (or the UK equivalents) apply, we place strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functioning Site, and we place analytics cookies only after you give consent through our cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 7), and withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

4. Cookies We Use

The table below lists the main cookies used on the Site. The exact names and durations set by third parties may change; we keep this list as accurate as reasonably practicable.

Cookie / technology	Type & provider	Purpose	Typical duration
Session / security cookies	Strictly necessary (first-party / SureCart)	Maintain your session, secure the Site, and operate the checkout and customer dashboard.	Session to ~12 months
Cookie-consent preference	Strictly necessary (first-party)	Remember your cookie choices so we do not ask on every visit.	Up to 12 months
Stripe cookies	Strictly necessary (third-party / Stripe)	Enable secure payment processing and fraud prevention during checkout.	Session to ~12 months
_ga / _ga_*	Analytics (third-party / Google Analytics)	Distinguish users and sessions and measure Site usage. Set only with your consent.	Up to 24 months

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by our service providers. SureCart and Stripe set strictly necessary cookies to operate the checkout, customer dashboard, and payments. Google Analytics sets analytics cookies, used only with your consent. These providers process the resulting data under their own terms and privacy notices, and some are located outside the EEA and UK; international transfers are handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous or pseudonymous statistics about Site usage, such as pages viewed, approximate location, and device type. We configure Google Analytics to limit the data collected (for example, by using IP truncation where available). Analytics cookies are loaded only after you consent. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all sites.

7. How to Manage Your Cookie Choices

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Our cookie banner — when you first visit the Site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can reopen the banner or preference panel at any time to change your choice.
• Your browser — most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site (including checkout) from working.
• Google Analytics opt-out — you can install Google’s opt-out add-on as described in Section 6.

8. What Happens If You Reject Cookies

If you reject analytics cookies, you can still use the full Site — we simply will not collect usage statistics from your visit. If you block strictly necessary cookies through your browser, the checkout, payment, and customer-dashboard features may not work correctly.

9. “Do Not Track” and Preference Signals

There is no agreed industry standard for responding to browser “Do Not Track” signals, so we manage analytics through our consent banner instead. Where applicable law requires us to honor a recognized opt-out preference signal, we will do so.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes affecting non-essential cookies will, where required, be accompanied by a renewed request for your consent.

11. More Information

For more about how we handle personal data, including your rights and international transfers, see our Privacy Policy. For general information about cookies and how to manage them, independent resources such as allaboutcookies.org may be helpful.
