You also acknowledge and consent to third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) dropping and using cookies, over which we have no control.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used by many websites and can do a number of things, e.g. remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket, and counting the number of people looking at a website.There are two types of cookies:
  • Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created the cookie, the website will not recognize you. You will have to log back in (if login is required) or select your preferences/themes again if the site uses these features. A new session cookie will be generated, which will store your browsing information and will be active until you leave the site and close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies – these files stay in one of your browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie's file 
These cookies can be created by us or third-party:
  • First-party cookies are created by the site you visit. The site is shown in the address bar.
  • Third-party cookies are created by other sites. These sites own some of the content, like ads or images, that you see on the web page you visit.
Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies are essential to the Site and/or Services, and will always be used. Web beacons, tags, and scripts may be used in the Site or in emails to help us deliver cookies and count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness, and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by our service/analytics providers (for example, Google Analytics) on an individual and aggregated basis.
Which types of cookies or tracking technologies do we use, and why?
StratInterviews use several technologies to efficiently deliver and improve its products & services. Their key features are summarized below.

Functionality cookies

  • Google Analytics is the main technology we use. We have activated the so-called “IP-anonymization” which means that your IP address will be truncated within the area of the European Union or the European Economic Area before being transferred to the United States. Only in exceptional cases the entire (i.e. non-truncated) IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the US and truncated there.
