1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and login state.
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags may also be used alongside cookies for analogous purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy include all such technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
TradingAtlas uses cookies for the following purposes:

3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in. Without these cookies, parts of the Platform will not work.
- Authentication token cookie — stores your encrypted JWT session token to keep you logged in.

- Theme preference — remembers whether you prefer dark or light mode.
- Display currency — remembers your base currency selection.
- Collapsed sidebar state and other UI preferences.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform so we can improve its functionality and performance. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised.
- Page view tracking — which pages are visited and in what order.
- Feature usage — which tools and features are used most frequently.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by trusted third-party services we use to operate the Platform:
- Stripe — used during the payment and subscription management flow.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other advertising network cookies. Third-party cookies that are present are strictly limited to service delivery.
