1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the site owners.
- First-party cookies are set by VecTrade (the website you are visiting) and can only be read by us.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than vectrade.io. We describe these in Section 3 below.
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |

| Preferences | Remember your settings and choices, such as language, theme (light/dark mode), chart layout, and display preferences, so you don't have to set them each time you visit. | Up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with our Services by collecting anonymous usage data — such as pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns. We use this data to improve performance and user experience. | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track their effectiveness. VecTrade currently does not use marketing cookies, but reserves the right to introduce them with prior notice and consent mechanisms. | N/A |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our platform may be placed by third-party service providers that we use to deliver specific functions. These providers set their own cookies and may collect information about your online activity across different websites. We do not control the cookies set by third parties; please refer to the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information.
- Analytics providers — e.g., services that help us measure and analyse traffic and usage patterns.
- Security providers — e.g., services that help detect and prevent malicious activity.
4. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies:
- Local storage — used to store preferences and session data in your browser (e.g., theme settings, sidebar state).
- Pixel tags / web beacons — small invisible images embedded in emails or pages that help us measure engagement and delivery rates.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie consent banner — when available, use the consent banner on our site to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Opt-out links — for analytics cookies, you can opt out through tools provided by the analytics provider (e.g., Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on).
