Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Stokzone website (stokzone.com), which cookies we use, and how you can manage them. Cookies other than strictly necessary cookies are run only with your explicit consent.
1.What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved to your device through your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are used for purposes such as ensuring the proper functioning of the site, remembering your preferences and (with your consent) gaining insight into how the site is used.
In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as your browser's local storage (localStorage) may also be used. In this policy, the term "cookie" also covers these similar technologies.
2.Types of Cookies Used
On our website we address cookies in three categories according to their purpose:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for the site's core functions and security and for remembering your preferences (e.g. language, cookie consent). The site does not work properly without these cookies; for this reason they cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how the site is used, anonymously and in aggregate. They are loaded only with your explicit consent; if you do not give consent, no analytics cookie or code is loaded.
- Marketing cookies: These may be used to present content suited to your interests. No marketing cookie is currently used on our site; this category is included in the preference screen on a forward-looking basis and is activated only with your consent.
3.Cookies We Use
In the table below we honestly list all the cookies used on our site, together with their name, purpose, category, retention period and party. Third-party (Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics 4) cookies are loaded only if you give analytics consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Category | Retention | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sz_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences (consent status). | Strictly necessary | 6 months | First party (Stokzone) |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers your selected language preference. | Strictly necessary | Session / ~1 year | First party (Stokzone) |
| sz_exit_popup_seen | Prevents the exit-intent information window from being shown repeatedly (browser local storage). | Strictly necessary / functional | 30 days | First party (Stokzone) |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity — identifies the visitor anonymously (session recording + heatmap). | Analytics | ~1 year | Third party (Microsoft) |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity — associates page views within a single session. | Analytics | ~1 day | Third party (Microsoft) |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity — identifies the first Clarity tag visited. | Analytics | ~1 year | Third party (Microsoft) |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes the visitor anonymously (user counting). | Analytics | ~2 years | Third party (Google) |
| _gid | Google Analytics 4 — distinguishes the visitor anonymously (short-lived). | Analytics | ~24 hours | Third party (Google) |
| _ga_<container> / _gat | Google Analytics 4 — maintains session state and limits the request rate. | Analytics | Session / minute | Third party (Google) |
4.Third-Party Cookies (Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics 4)
If you give consent for analytics cookies, we use the Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) services to understand how our site is used. These services help us analyze how the site is used, anonymously and in aggregate. If you do not give analytics consent, no code belonging to these services is loaded onto the site and the related cookies are not created.
Microsoft Clarity helps us analyze in-page interactions, heatmaps and session recordings. Within this scope, the _clck, _clsk and CLID cookies listed above are placed by Microsoft. Clarity has the ability to mask sensitive content in recordings, and we use the service on the assumption that fields such as e-mail, phone and password in forms are masked.
Google Analytics 4 helps us measure aggregate statistics on the number of visitors, page views and site usage. Within this scope, the _ga, _gid and _ga_<container>/_gat cookies are placed by Google. When you withdraw analytics consent, we attempt to delete these cookies. For information about the data processing practices of Microsoft and Google, you may refer to the privacy notices of the relevant providers.
5.Managing Cookies and Withdrawing Consent
On your first visit to the site, from the cookie information bar shown you can accept all cookies, reject all of them, or make a category-based selection via "Manage Preferences". No cookie other than strictly necessary cookies is run without your consent.
You can withdraw or change the consent you have given at any time, as easily as you gave it: you can reopen the preference screen by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of every page or the "Cookie Settings" button on this page. When you withdraw analytics consent, Microsoft Clarity is stopped and the related cookies (_clck, _clsk, CLID) are attempted to be deleted by us.
In addition, most browsers offer options to accept, reject or delete cookies; you can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the site may not work as expected.
6.Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be reviewed from time to time in line with changes in legislation or updates to our services. When our cookie inventory changes, you may be asked for your consent preference again. The current version is always published on this page.
