1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies include local storage, SDK identifiers, pixels, and server-side event tags.
2. Why we use them
- Keep you signed in and maintain secure sessions.
- Remember preferences (for example language and display settings).
- Measure performance and reliability of pages and features.
- Detect abuse, fraud, and suspicious traffic patterns.
- Support consent and privacy preference storage.
3. Categories we may use
Strictly necessary
Required for core functions such as authentication, security controls, and routing.
Functional
Remember user preferences and improve usability.
Analytics
Help us understand aggregate usage and improve feature quality.
Security and abuse prevention
Used to identify malicious requests, suspicious patterns, and account compromise risk.
Marketing (where enabled)
May support campaign measurement and attribution. We do not use health data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Third-party technologies
Some third-party providers may set or read technical identifiers when delivering integrated services. These may include hosting, authentication, push notification routing, and app infrastructure tooling.
- AWS and Supabase for infrastructure and backend services.
- Google for optional authentication flows.
- Apple APNs for push routing metadata.
For health and fitness data handling, see our Health Data Policy.
5. Consent and your controls
- Where required by law, we request consent before placing non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings can block or clear cookies.
- Mobile OS settings may reset advertising identifiers and notification preferences.
- App settings may allow you to disable optional analytics where available.
Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent core STRV features from working.
6. Retention
Retention periods vary by purpose. Session cookies are short-lived, while preference and security cookies may persist longer unless you clear them.
7. Cross-border processing
Cookie and device-level metadata may be processed in multiple jurisdictions depending on our providers. For Australian users, where APP 8 applies, we take reasonable steps for compliant cross-border handling.
8. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as technologies, services, or legal requirements change.
