Cookie Policy

1. Introduction and Purpose of This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how MartSticker uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. The website provides informational content about general stock-related topics and does not offer transactional or advisory services. Cookies are used only to the extent necessary to maintain website functionality, support basic preferences, and enable aggregated analytics.

This Policy describes what cookies are, which categories are applied, how long they remain active, and how visitors can manage their choices. The website does not use cookies or similar technologies for targeted advertising and does not sell or share personal information as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. Visitors are encouraged to read this Policy together with the Privacy Policy to understand how cookie-related data may be associated with other information collected on the website.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on user devices when visitors access the site. These files help websites recognize devices, remember certain preferences, and support technical operations. Cookies can remain on a device only for the duration of a session or for longer periods, depending on their purpose.

In addition to standard cookies, similar technologies may be used, such as local storage, pixels, or scripts that perform functions comparable to cookies. For clarity, this Policy refers to all these tools collectively as “cookies.” These technologies assist with basic functions such as security measures, navigation, and analysis of aggregated usage patterns.

MartSticker uses cookies in a limited and transparent manner. They are not intended to identify individual visitors unless an inquiry is submitted through the Contact form, in which case any cookie-related data remains separate from personal information unless a lawful purpose requires otherwise.

3. Categories of Cookies Used on the Website

MartSticker may use the following categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose:

a. Necessary Cookies

These cookies enable essential website functions, such as navigation, access to secure areas, and basic performance stability. They are required for the site to operate correctly and cannot be disabled through the website’s internal settings. Necessary cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are used only to fulfill core website functions.

b. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies support optional features of the site, such as remembering certain user choices (e.g., cookie banner preferences or language settings if applicable). These cookies can help maintain a consistent browsing experience but are not required for basic site functionality. They are used only with user consent where required.

c. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors interact with the website. This may include the number of visitors to specific pages, general navigation patterns, time spent on sections of the site, and overall website performance metrics. MartSticker configures analytics tools, where applicable, to avoid identifying individual users or tracking their activity across websites. No cross-context behavioral profiling is performed.

d. Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies are typically used to deliver targeted advertising or track user behavior across sites. MartSticker does not use advertising cookies. The website does not engage in targeted advertising, retargeting, personalized marketing, or cross-site tracking as defined under U.S. state privacy laws.

4. Why MartSticker Uses Cookies

MartSticker uses cookies exclusively for purposes related to maintaining the functionality, performance, and security of the website. These purposes may include:

Supporting the loading of pages and the overall stability of the website.

Ensuring that security protocols and access controls function correctly.

Remembering certain user preferences when permitted.

Understanding general visitation trends in an aggregated manner to improve the website layout or structure.

The website does not use cookies to infer user interests, create personal profiles, or deliver personalized content.

5. Retention Periods for Cookies

The retention period of cookies varies depending on their category and purpose:

Session cookies (typically necessary cookies) expire when the browser session ends.

Short-term cookies may remain active for a limited number of days or weeks, depending on functional requirements.

Longer-term cookies, such as analytics cookies, may remain on the device for a defined period to support aggregated analysis.

MartSticker aims to ensure that retention periods are not longer than reasonably necessary. Expired cookies are automatically removed by the browser, and new cookies are set only when the visitor returns to the website or interacts with features that require them.

6. Cookie Consent and User Controls

When visitors access the website for the first time or after a significant change to cookie practices, a cookie banner may appear. This banner provides clear information about cookie categories and allows visitors to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Consent is never assumed, and checkboxes are not pre-selected.

Visitors can manage cookie preferences in several ways:

Adjusting browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Reviewing and modifying preferences through the cookie banner, if available.

Using browser extensions that provide additional cookie controls.

Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect optional features but will not restrict access to core informational content on the website.

7. Relationship Between Cookies and Personal Information

Some cookies may be associated with identifiers such as IP addresses or device IDs. When such data is collected, MartSticker handles it according to the Privacy Policy. Any association with personal information is limited, controlled, and grounded in lawful purposes such as security, basic analytics, or communication handling.

MartSticker does not use cookies to:

Sell personal information

Share personal information for targeted advertising

Track users across third-party websites

Combine cookie data with external datasets for profiling

All cookie-related data is treated as confidential and processed only by authorized service providers who support technical website operations.

8. Third-Party Service Providers and Cookies

MartSticker may use third-party service providers for hosting, security monitoring, analytics, or other essential operations that may involve cookies or similar technologies. These providers process cookie-related data strictly on behalf of MartSticker and for no other purposes.

MartSticker does not allow third parties to use cookies for their own marketing or tracking activities. Access to cookie data by such providers is limited to what is necessary to perform their contractual obligations.

9. International Transfers of Cookie-Related Data

Some service providers may operate servers located outside the user's state or country. If cookie-related data is transferred internationally, MartSticker applies safeguards consistent with this Policy, including contractual, organizational, and technical protections.

International transfers are used only for website operation and are never performed for targeted advertising, profiling, or sale of personal information.

10. User Rights Regarding Cookie Data

Under U.S. state privacy laws, visitors may have rights related to cookie-associated personal information, including:

Access to personal information collected through cookies.

Correction of inaccurate information.

Deletion of certain cookie-related data.

Opt-out from processing that qualifies as profiling or targeted advertising (not applicable here).

Withdrawal of consent for non-essential cookies.

Requests can be submitted using the contact information provided at the top of this Policy. Reasonable verification steps may be required.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

MartSticker may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in website operations, legal requirements, or best practices. When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date will be modified. Significant updates may also trigger a reappearance of the cookie banner.

Visitors are encouraged to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about cookie practices.
