1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your session and preferences, so you don't have to re-enter settings each time you return.

Stodacom Desktop uses cookies and similar technologies (including browser local storage for non-sensitive display preferences) on this platform to keep you securely signed in and to remember your interface settings.

2. Cookies We Set

These are the cookies our own platform sets. We do not sell or share this data with third-party advertisers.

Cookie NameTypePurposeDuration
PHPSESSID Essential Maintains your authenticated session while logged in Session
trusted_device Security Remembers a device you've marked as trusted, to streamline sign-in 30 days
sidebar_expanded Preference Remembers whether your navigation sidebar is expanded or collapsed 1 year

Your display theme (light/dark) is remembered using browser local storage rather than a cookie, and never leaves your device.

3. Essential & Security Cookies

The PHPSESSID and trusted_device cookies above are strictly necessary for the platform to function — they enable login, session security, and CSRF protection (which uses a token stored in your session, submitted with each form). Without these, the Service cannot be provided, and they cannot be disabled.

4. Advertising & Analytics

Google Ads Tag (gtag.js)

By default, this platform loads Google's gtag.js for Google Ads conversion tracking. This is a third-party script controlled by Google and may set its own cookies in your browser, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Turning off "Advertising" in the preference toggle below stops this script from loading on your next page view (it is read server-side, so the change applies as soon as you save and reload).

5. Your Cookie Preferences

Essential and security cookies cannot be disabled, as they are required for the platform to operate safely. Your choice below is saved to your browser for our own records.

6. Your Rights & Browser Controls

Under GDPR and other applicable data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of data collected through cookies. Most browsers also let you manage or block cookies under Settings → Privacy & Security — note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.

To submit a cookie-related data request, email us at support@stodacomdesktop.com. See our full Privacy Policy for more on your rights.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or the cookies we use. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the platform after an update constitutes acceptance.
