Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Strom ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit strombot.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Plain-English summary: We use a small number of cookies — mostly to keep you logged in and prevent fraud. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect bot functionality.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Strom) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics and payment fraud prevention.

Similar technologies — including local storage, pixels, and software development kits — perform comparable functions. In this policy we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies".

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies we use into the following categories based on their purpose:

Essential

Required for the website to function — keeping you logged in and securing your session. These cannot be switched off.

Functional

Remember your preferences such as theme and selected server so the dashboard feels consistent.

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymised.

Advertising

Used by Google Ads to measure conversions from our own advertising campaigns. We do not sell this data.

Security

Used by our payment providers to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.

Cookies We Use

The table below lists the cookies we set, what each one is for, and how long it stays on your device.

We do not sell your data. We use Google Ads only to measure conversions from our own advertising campaigns — we do not build advertising profiles for sale or share your data with third-party ad networks.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control how these third parties use the data they collect. Their use is governed by their own privacy policies:

Managing Your Cookies

You have several options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings menu
You can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
You can use private/incognito browsing to avoid persistent cookies
Google Analytics can be disabled via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to the dashboard and using account-based features. Browser help pages for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari explain how to manage cookies in each browser.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no industry-wide standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We honour DNT where it is technically feasible by disabling non-essential analytics cookies for visitors who send the signal.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
