Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser so that it can recognise your browser on later requests. First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting; third-party cookies are set by another domain. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

Similar technologies include browser local storage, session storage and pixels. References in this policy to cookies include these technologies.

This policy distinguishes between:

1. (a)the StratVeda OS application, where you sign in and use your Workspace;
2. (b)the StratVeda OS website pages, including the home, pricing, about, FAQ and contact pages; and
3. (c)StratVeda's corporate website at stratvedatech.com, to the extent it is operated separately from the StratVeda OS pages.

This policy does not cover cookies set on the corporate website at stratvedatech.com, other than on the StratVeda OS pages.

The application sets only the following first-party cookies, both of which are strictly necessary:

Both cookies are HTTP-only (they cannot be read by scripts on the page), are sent only over HTTPS when the Service is served over HTTPS, use the SameSite=Lax setting, and are restricted to the application host.

The application does not use local storage or session storage to hold personal data. Your cookie choice is remembered there under sv-cookie-consent, as on the website pages; it holds only “granted” or “denied”.

If you accept analytics cookies in the application's cookie banner, the application uses Microsoft Clarity to see where people click and scroll, so that we can make it easier to use. All text and numbers on screen, including your briefs, files, interview answers and chats, and anything you type, are masked before anything is sent: Microsoft Clarity receives the layout and your clicks, never your content. It sets the _clck and _clsk cookies described in section 4, and only after you accept. The application does not use Google Analytics.

The contact form and newsletter sign-up send your details to our servers when you submit them but do not set cookies. Your choice in the cookie banner is remembered in your browser's local storage under sv-cookie-consent; it holds only “granted” or “denied”, nothing about you.

If you accept analytics cookies, the website pages (not the application) use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use them, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, which device and browser they use, and where on a page they click and scroll, so that we can improve the website. Microsoft Clarity also makes heatmaps and recordings of how pages are used; what you type into forms is masked and never sent to it. Both are loaded only after you accept, and these cookies are set only then:

Google Analytics is configured with advertising features and Google signals switched off. We do not use personalisation, advertising or marketing cookies, we do not share information with advertising networks, and the application at app.stratvedatech.com does not use Google Analytics at all; its use of Microsoft Clarity is described in clause 3.4. Microsoft Clarity is told that advertising storage is not permitted, so nothing is shared with Microsoft Advertising. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy, at policies.google.com/privacy, and Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement, at privacy.microsoft.com.

Some features involve third parties that may set their own cookies on their own domains under their own policies:

StratVeda does not control these cookies and does not receive the information they collect, except the sign-in or payment result that the provider returns to us.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the Service cannot work without them.

Analytics cookies are optional. On your first visit to the website pages, and separately in the application, a cookie banner asks whether you accept them. Nothing optional is set until you choose Accept, and Decline is as easy as Accept.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every website page and application screen. Withdrawing consent stops Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity from collecting anything further and deletes the Microsoft Clarity cookies; you can also delete the _ga cookies in your browser.

Before we introduce any other non-essential cookie, we will update this policy with its name, purpose, provider and duration and ask for your consent before it is set.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, usually under Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and site data.

If you block or delete sv_session, you will be signed out of StratVeda OS. If you block sv_oauth, you will not be able to sign in with Google, Microsoft or LinkedIn. Blocking the Google Analytics cookies has no effect on how the website or the application works.

We do not use cookies for cross-site tracking or advertising. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on every site, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

If we add, change or remove a cookie, we will update this policy, its version number and its effective date.
