This Cookie Policy explains how The Street International Journal (“SIJ,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SIJ) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.”

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the operation of our website, such as session management, security, and authentication.
• Performance Cookies: Allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. These help us know which pages are most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Functional Cookies: Enable the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or theme) and provide enhanced, personalized features.
• Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an ad and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (e.g., Google AdSense).

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and so on. These may include services from Google (Analytics, AdSense), Meta (Pixel), and TradingView (market widgets).

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though some functionality and areas may be restricted. You can also manage your cookie preferences through our on-site cookie consent banner when available.

Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from particular sites
• Block all cookies
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is no uniform way that browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal, our site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
