1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits, may perform related functions. In this policy, “cookies” refers to these technologies together unless a distinction matters.
2. How HelloTrade may use cookies
The early-access website may use the following categories:
- Strictly necessary: used to deliver requested pages, protect the website, prevent abuse, remember privacy choices, and maintain basic functionality.
- Preference: used to remember settings such as language, region, or display preferences when those controls are available.
- Analytics: if enabled, used to understand aggregate traffic, page performance, and how visitors interact with the website so we can improve it.
- Marketing: not required for the core website. If introduced, these would be used only with any notice and choice required by applicable law.
The exact technologies may change as the product develops. If non-essential cookies are introduced, we will provide additional controls where required.
3. First-party and third-party technologies
First-party cookies are set by HelloTrade’s website. Third-party technologies may be set by service providers that support hosting, security, media delivery, analytics, or links to external services. We do not name vendors here unless they are actually deployed; third-party providers control their own cookies under their respective policies.
Following a link to X or another external service may allow that service to collect information under its own cookie and privacy policies.
4. Duration
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration depends on the purpose of the cookie. We aim to keep cookie lifetimes no longer than reasonably necessary for their stated function.
5. Your controls
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and restrict cookies by site. If the website presents a cookie preference control, you can use it to change optional choices. Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
Browser-based privacy signals are evolving. Where a recognized signal is legally required to be treated as a request, we will process it in accordance with applicable law and the capabilities of the website.
6. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when our technology, providers, or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top indicates the latest revision.
