Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the site so the experience can be improved over time.

This Site uses both session cookies, which are deleted when you finish browsing, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device between visits so we can remember your choices. Most cookies on this Site are first-party cookies set by The Trade Panda. We also use Cloudflare as our security and infrastructure provider; Cloudflare may set a security cookie to protect the Site from automated abuse and fraud. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or data brokers.

We group the cookies on our Site by purpose.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to work. They sign you in, keep you securely signed in, renew your session so you are not asked to log in repeatedly, remember your cookie choices, and protect the Site from fraud and automated abuse. Examples include an authenticated-user identifier, a session-refresh token, a cookie that records your consent preferences, and a security cookie set by Cloudflare (our infrastructure provider) to verify that a visitor has passed a security challenge. These cookies are necessary for core functionality and the safe operation of the Site. If you disable them through your browser settings, some parts of the Site — including signing in and maintaining your session — may not work properly. Because they are essential to operate the Site, they are always active and are not subject to consent.

Functional analytics cookies

These optional cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are visited and how people navigate before signing in — so we can improve it. An example is an anonymous guest identifier assigned to your visit. The identifier does not contain your name, email address, or account information, but we may associate it with technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. These cookies are not used for advertising. They are turned off by default and are set only after you choose to accept them. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in our Site footer.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party ad networks, or sell information collected through cookies to data brokers.

Strictly necessary authentication and session cookies generally last from the length of a single session up to one year, depending on their function; session-refresh cookies are short-lived and may be renewed while you remain signed in. The cookie that records your consent choices lasts up to one year. Functional analytics cookies last up to 30 days.

When you first visit The Trade Panda, you can choose to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them. Functional analytics cookies are optional and off by default — they are set only if you turn them on. You can revisit and change your preferences at any time through the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer.

You can also restrict, block, or delete cookies by changing your browser settings. Most browsers include a "help" or "privacy" section explaining how to manage cookies:

• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data
• Apple Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data

If you block all cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of the Site. If you delete authentication cookies, you will be signed out of your account, and some features may not work properly. If you delete your cookie-preference cookie, you will be treated as a first-time visitor the next time you visit.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on the Site. This Cookie Policy replaces any previous version applicable before the date stated above.
