What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends a cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no effect on how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they get updated every time you visit a website.
We may obtain information about you by accessing cookies sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different types of activities. For example, session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie disappears. For a more detailed list of cookies we use, please read the relevant section below.
Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyze how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This use allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website as well as to improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your login sessions, meaning that when you log into your Trading.com account to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
Functional cookies are also used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access our trading platform, and recall your preferences, such as which language you wish to see when you log in.
Below is an overview of some of the functions our cookies provide us with:
- Verifying your identity and detecting from which the country you are currently visiting
- Checking browser type and device
- Tracking from which site the user was referred
- Allowing third parties to customize content accordingly
