Cookie Policy

How we use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies — and how you can control them.

This Cookie Policy explains how TradeAnalyzer.Pro uses cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies when you access or use our website and services.

Version: 2.1

Last updated: 7 August 2026

This Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy. Please also review our Terms of Service.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide analytics.

Similar technologies include:

  • Web beacons / pixels: small transparent images used to track user behavior and measure campaign effectiveness
  • Local storage (HTML5): allows websites to store larger amounts of data locally on your device
  • Session storage: similar to local storage but cleared when the browser session ends

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Service to function. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security (e.g., CSRF protection). You cannot opt out of these cookies; without them, the Service will not work correctly.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use the Service (e.g., pages visited, error messages, load times). They help us understand usage patterns and improve performance. We use services such as Google Analytics.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

Some preferences (for example language or interface settings) may be stored via browser local storage rather than cookies. Blocking storage can reduce personalisation.

2.4 Targeting / Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. They may track your browsing activity across sites. Where we use this type of cookie, we do so in a limited and purpose-driven way and, where required by law, only with your prior consent.

Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR):

  • Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing a secure, functioning Service.
  • Analytics and performance cookies are used either on the basis of legitimate interests (for aggregated, anonymised analytics) or, where required, your consent.
  • Functionality and targeting cookies are generally used on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via your browser settings or cookie controls where available.

3. Cookies We Use

Below is a representative list of cookies that may be used on our platform. Names and providers can change as the Service evolves.

Cookie Name Category Purpose Duration
ta_session / __Host-ta_session Essential Keeps you signed in while using the Service Up to 24 hours

4. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services we integrate may set their own cookies. These include:

  • Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager: website traffic and behavior analytics
  • Microsoft Clarity: heatmaps and session recordings for UX analysis
  • Cloudflare: security and performance optimization
  • Payment processors (if applicable): secure transaction processing

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.

5. Your Choices and Cookie Management

5.1 Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time via "Cookie Settings" (where available) or by using your browser controls.

5.2 Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may impair functionality. Common browser settings:

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

5.3 Opt-Out Links

5.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. At this time, there is no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to these signals, so our Service does not currently adapt to DNT. You can still control cookies using the methods described above.

6. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

We may use HTML5 local storage or session storage for preferences and temporary interface data. These technologies follow the same principles as cookies. You can clear them in your browser settings.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect cookie-related data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and access controls. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will reflect the latest version. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
