This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies TradeSpark uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. For information about other personal information we collect, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and mobile SDK identifiers. We use these technologies on our website and in the webapp.
2. Categories we use
We group our cookies into four categories. Essential cookies are always on. You can accept or reject each of the other categories through the cookie banner on our site or in your browser settings.
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the Service to function, including authentication, security, load balancing, and remembering cookie preferences. | Session cookies, CSRF tokens, login state. |
| Functional | Remember choices you make, like language and region, and enable enhanced features. | UI preferences, recently viewed projects. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. Aggregated, not used to identify individuals. | Page views, error logs, session duration. |
| Marketing | Measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where you consent, show more relevant ads. | Campaign attribution, conversion pixels. |
3. Your choices
- Cookie banner. The first time you visit tradespark.ai, we show a banner where you can accept all, reject non-essential, or customize per category.
- Revisit settings. You can open the banner at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer.
- Browser controls. Your browser lets you block or delete cookies and to warn you before they are set. Settings vary by browser; help is available at the browser vendor's site.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of "sale" or "sharing" under US state privacy laws. See Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.
4. Third parties
Analytics and marketing cookies may be set by third parties that we engage. The specific vendors we use change over time. Current vendors are listed in the cookie banner's "Details" view.
Our current analytics vendor is cookieless. We use Plausible Analytics (operated by Plausible Insights OÜ, Estonia), which does not set cookies or local-storage identifiers, does not track visitors across sites or devices, and does not collect personal information. Because Plausible is cookieless, the Analytics category above does not set any browser cookies on your device at this time. If we add a cookie-based analytics vendor in the future, we will disclose it here and honor your cookie-banner choice.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common industry standard for how to respond to the signal. We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, but we honor GPC as described above.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice.
