Cookie Policy
Effective November 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Contrivian Inc. uses cookies and similar technologies on contrivian.com, what each one does and how you can control them. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
Open Cookie Settings
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and scripts that recognize your device. Some are set by us ("first-party") and some by other companies whose services we use ("third-party").
How We Ask for Consent
When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept All, Reject All or Manage Preferences. Only strictly necessary cookies run before you choose. Analytics and marketing technologies run only after you accept them. We store your choice for 180 days, then ask again. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we keep marketing technologies off. You can change your mind at any time in Cookie Settings, linked in the footer of every page.
Categories We Use
Strictly Necessary
These keep the site working and secure, and remember your cookie choice. They cannot be switched off in our settings, but you can block them in your browser, which may stop parts of the site from working.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people move between them, so we can improve it. They include Google Analytics and OpenReplay session recording. Session recordings mask the text you type into form fields.
Marketing
These help us measure our advertising and show relevant ads to business audiences on other websites. They include the StackAdapt and Reddit pixels.
Embedded Content
Some pages embed content from other companies, such as YouTube videos and Google Maps. These services may set their own cookies when you load or play the content, under their own policies.
