Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 21, 2026
1. How We Utilize Tracker Files
In compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR mandates, Stride Dexter strictly itemizes the utilization of data cookies on our digital frontend. Cookies are brief text records stored on your client browser to optimize performance, personalize experience, and track system conversions.
2. Detailed Disclosures of Active Trackers
Our Next.js frontend framework runs zero tracking cookies natively on build initialization. However, because we leverage performance marketing trackers and analytics platforms, the following cross-site analytics layers may store script trackers if your consent is explicitly confirmed:
| Tracker System | Classification | Core Operational Target |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Performance & Analytics | Tracks anonymous page duration, entry sources, device types, and conversion interactions to measure site performance. |
| Microsoft Clarity | User Experience / Session Logs | Maps visual layout engagement, scroll behavior, and click patterns to pinpoint technical bottlenecks and design friction points. |
| Meta Ads Pixel | Targeted Advertising | Correlates traffic optimizations to refine ad delivery profiles and measure campaign effectiveness for business solutions. |
3. Cookie Categories & Consent Framework
We classify cookies into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
Required for basic site functionality (authentication, security, form submission). These load automatically and cannot be disabled.
Performance Cookies
Enable analytics tracking (GA4, Clarity) to measure user behavior and optimize site performance. Requires explicit consent.
Marketing Cookies
Enable targeted advertising (Meta Pixel) to deliver relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. Requires explicit consent.
4. Managing and Withdrawing Tracking Consent
When you land on our platform, our interactive cookie consent banner completely blocks performance and marketing script layers from firing until you click "Accept". You have full control:
- Accept All: Enables GA4, Clarity, Meta Pixel, and all optional trackers.
- Reject All: Disables all optional cookies (only essential cookies remain active).
- Manage Preferences: Customize which categories you want enabled.
- Change Later: You can revoke consent anytime by clicking the cookie settings icon in your browser or contacting us.
You can cleanly flush out these temporary cookies at any moment by navigating straight into your browser's security panel settings and executing a local storage sweep. Each browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) has built-in cookie management tools.
5. Third-Party Cookie Providers
The tracking platforms listed in Section 2 are third-party services with their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We recommend reviewing their policies:
Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
Microsoft Clarity: clarity.microsoft.com
Meta Pixel: facebook.com/policies/cookies
6. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some browsers support Do Not Track (DNT) signals. While Stride Dexter respects user privacy preferences, we do not currently disable all tracking based on DNT headers. However, we honor your explicit consent choices through our cookie banner.
7. Cookie Retention & Expiration
Most tracking cookies expire after 12-24 months of inactivity. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You can manually clear cookies anytime through your browser settings without affecting site functionality.
