Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on steelstrux.com (the "Site"), what types we use, and how you can control them. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle your personal information more broadly.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Steel Strux uses cookies and similar technologies for several reasons:

• To make the Site work properly: Some cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website, such as remembering form entries on a contact page during a single session.
• To understand how visitors use the Site: We use analytics cookies to measure traffic and learn which pages are most useful to visitors so we can improve the Site over time.
• To remember your preferences: Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your region) and provide enhanced features.
• To deliver relevant marketing: Advertising and remarketing cookies help us show you Steel Strux ads on other websites you visit that are relevant to your interests.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the Site and use its features. Without these cookies, services like submitting a contact form or scheduling an on-site visit cannot be provided. They do not store personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and whether they receive error messages. We typically use Google Analytics or similar platforms for this purpose. The data collected is aggregated and used to improve how our Site works.

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred region or any settings you've adjusted) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized; they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners (such as Google Ads or Meta) through our Site. They remember that you have visited a website and that information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the placement of these cookies, and the third parties that set them have their own privacy and cookie policies. Examples of third-party services we may use include:

• Google Analytics (analytics and traffic measurement)
• Google Ads (advertising and conversion tracking)
• Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram advertising)
• YouTube (when embedded video players are present)

We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of these third parties for more information on the cookies they set and how to manage them.

5. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies can be either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire (based on a set date) or until you delete them manually. The lifespan of persistent cookies can range from minutes to several years.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling and managing cookies:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these options in the "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu of your browser. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or be notified when a cookie is being placed.

Browser-specific instructions:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note: Disabling cookies may impact your experience on our Site. Some features may not work correctly if cookies are blocked.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising

To opt out of personalized advertising from many advertising partners, you can visit:

• Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out
• Network Advertising Initiative opt-out
• Your Online Choices (EU)

Mobile Device Settings

If you use a mobile device, you can usually limit ad tracking through your device's privacy or advertising settings (e.g. "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS, or resetting your advertising ID on Android).

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. Because there is no industry-standard way to interpret these signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can still manage your cookie preferences as described above.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
