Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how Steward Market (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on stewardmarket.com (the “Platform”). It supplements our Privacy Policy and explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve how they work, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose services appear on that website (third-party cookies).

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies” for simplicity.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Platform:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They enable core features like account login, session management, security, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the Platform cannot operate properly. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled through our cookie banner, but you can block them through your browser settings (with the understanding that parts of the Platform may not work).

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform—which pages are visited, how users move through the site, and where improvements are needed. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Analytics data is aggregated and used to improve the Platform experience. You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie banner.

2.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the Platform—for example, your cookie preferences, display settings, or language. They make your experience more personalized and consistent across visits.

3. Specific Cookies We Use

The specific cookies active on the Platform, along with their purpose, provider, and duration, are listed in our cookie banner preference center. Because cookies may change as we update the Platform, the preference center provides the most current list. A summary of the main cookie providers is below:

4. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Authenticate you and keep you signed in
• Keep the Platform secure and detect fraudulent activity
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how the Platform is used so we can improve it
• Process payments securely through Stripe

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use on the Platform. These providers have their own privacy and cookie practices, which we encourage you to review:

• Google Analytics: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Stripe: https://stripe.com/privacy

We do not control third-party cookies. You can manage them through our cookie banner, your browser settings, or the third party's own opt-out mechanisms.

6. Managing Your Cookie Choices

You have several ways to manage cookies:

6.1 Cookie Banner

When you first visit the Platform, we present a cookie banner that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.

6.2 Browser Controls

Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through settings. Instructions for common browsers:

• Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop
• Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac
• Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09

Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, will prevent parts of the Platform from working correctly, including signing in and making payments.

6.3 Opt-Out of Google Analytics

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6.4 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. Because there is no industry standard for how DNT should be handled, we do not respond to DNT signals. We do honor GPC signals as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information where required by law.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The list of active cookies in our cookie banner preference center is updated continuously.
