Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Strongorganic uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on strongorganic.world. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We are committed to giving you meaningful control over non-essential cookies in compliance with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and Australian privacy principles.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and collect certain usage information. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and server-side logs. Throughout this policy, the term "cookies" refers to cookies and these related technologies unless otherwise stated.

Cookies may be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Cookies set directly by strongorganic.world are "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by external services we use are "third-party" cookies.

2. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for cookie-related data processing is:

Strongorganic
282 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
Telephone: +61 3 9654 5244
Email: hello@strongorganic.world

3. Cookie Categories

We classify cookies into three categories, each with distinct purposes and legal requirements:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, cookie consent storage, security protections, and load balancing. Because the website cannot operate properly without them, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under GDPR and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings panel. They do not track you across other websites.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our educational content. They collect aggregated information about page views, navigation paths, scroll depth, and approximate geographic regions. This data allows us to improve content structure, identify popular resources, and fix usability issues. Analytics cookies are only activated when you click "Accept All" or enable the Analytics toggle in Cookie Settings.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns that direct visitors to our website. They may record which ad creative or keyword led to your visit and whether you subsequently submitted a contact form or purchased an educational product. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent through our cookie banner. We do not use marketing cookies to build profiles for unrelated third-party advertising networks.

4. Specific Cookies Used

The following table describes cookies and storage items commonly used on strongorganic.world. Actual cookies may vary as we update our technology stack. Contact us if you require a current exhaustive list.

4.1 Strictly Necessary

  • tdde_cookie_consent (local storage): Stores your cookie preference selections including analytics and marketing opt-in status. Duration: twelve months. Provider: Strongorganic.
  • session_id (session cookie): Maintains server session integrity during form interactions. Duration: browser session. Provider: Strongorganic.
  • csrf_token (session cookie): Protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery. Duration: browser session. Provider: Strongorganic.

4.2 Analytics (consent required)

  • _ga, _ga_* (persistent cookies): Distinguish unique visitors and sessions for aggregated traffic analysis. Duration: up to twenty-four months. Provider: Google Analytics (if enabled).
  • _gid (persistent cookie): Distinguishes users for twenty-four-hour session grouping. Duration: twenty-four hours. Provider: Google Analytics (if enabled).

4.3 Marketing (consent required)

  • utm_storage (local storage): Preserves campaign source parameters for internal conversion reporting. Duration: thirty days. Provider: Strongorganic.

Our legal bases for cookie-related processing are:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Legitimate interest in providing a functional, secure website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) and, where applicable, contractual necessity for services you request.
  • Analytics cookies: Your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), obtained through our cookie banner before any non-essential cookie is placed.
  • Marketing cookies: Your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), obtained separately or together with analytics consent via the banner controls.

You may withdraw consent at any time by reopening Cookie Settings from the footer link or clearing your browser storage. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

6. Retention Periods

Cookie retention periods are set to the minimum necessary for each purpose:

  • Consent preference records: twelve months, after which the banner reappears for fresh consent.
  • Session cookies: deleted automatically when the browser session ends.
  • Analytics cookies: between twenty-four hours and twenty-four months depending on the specific cookie, as listed in Section 4.
  • Marketing attribution cookies: thirty to ninety days, aligned with standard advertising measurement windows.

Aggregated analytics data that can no longer identify individuals may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These providers act as independent or joint controllers depending on the service. We select providers with documented privacy practices and, where required, execute data processing agreements.

Third-party providers may transfer data to servers outside Australia or the European Economic Area. Where such transfers occur, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards as described in our Privacy Policy.

We do not control third-party cookie behaviour after you leave our website. Review the privacy policies of external services for additional information.

8. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit strongorganic.world, a cookie banner presents three options:

  • Accept All: Enables strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing cookies.
  • Reject: Enables only strictly necessary cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are not placed.
  • Cookie Settings: Opens a panel where you can toggle Analytics and Marketing categories independently. Strictly necessary cookies remain always enabled.

Your selections are stored in local storage under the key tdde_cookie_consent. To change preferences later, clear your browser storage for strongorganic.world and revisit the site, or contact us to request preference deletion.

9. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Common paths include:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Blocking all cookies may prevent certain website features from functioning correctly, including cookie consent memory and form security tokens. Blocking only third-party cookies may limit analytics and marketing cookies while preserving essential functionality.

For mobile devices, consult your operating system documentation for advertising identifier controls and browser privacy settings.

We review this Cookie Policy when we add new technologies, change analytics providers, or update legal requirements. The revision date appears at the top of this page. Significant changes that affect your rights will be highlighted through an updated cookie banner prompt where technically feasible.
