Cookie Policy
1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how TRADE SENSI ("we", "us" or "our"), operated by [Company Name], uses cookies and similar technologies on [website URL] (the "Website"). It tells you what these technologies are, which ones we use, why we use them and how you can control them.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly, and our Terms and Conditions.
By clicking Accept on our cookie banner or by continuing to use the Website after seeing the banner, you agree to our use of cookies as described here. You can change your mind at any time.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device, such as your phone, tablet or computer, when you visit it. They are stored by your browser. When you come back to the website, or visit another site that uses the same technology, the cookie lets the site recognise your device.
Cookies are useful. They can keep the site working properly, remember your choices, and help us understand which parts of the site people find useful. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.
First party and third party cookies
- First party cookies are set by TRADE SENSI directly.
- Third party cookies are set by other companies whose services we use, such as analytics or advertising providers.
Session and persistent cookies
- Session cookies last only while your browser is open. They disappear when you close it.
- Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period, or until you delete them.
3. Other technologies similar to cookies
Besides cookies, we and our partners may use the following.
Local storage and session storage. These are small pieces of data saved in your browser. We may use them to remember your language, display settings or the state of the AI prompt box so you do not have to start over every time.
Pixels and web beacons. These are tiny images or code snippets that tell us whether a page or email was opened or a button was clicked. They help us measure reach and engagement.
Tags and scripts. These are small pieces of code that collect information such as which page you visited. We manage them through a tag manager.
Device and browser information. Your device sends us basic details such as browser type, operating system and screen size each time you visit. We use this to display pages properly and to protect the Website.
In this policy, when we say cookies, we include these similar technologies unless we say otherwise.
4. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for four main reasons.
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed to run the Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. Without them, parts of the site would not work. They help with security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices and keeping features like forms and the AI prompt box working. They do not collect information for marketing.
4.2 Performance and analytics cookies
These tell us how visitors use the Website. For example, which pages are most popular, how people find us, how long they stay and whether any page shows errors. All the information is combined and used to improve the Website and our content. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you visited.
4.3 Functionality and preference cookies
These remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, light or dark display mode, or whether you have closed a notice. They make the Website more comfortable to use. If you do not allow them, some features may not work as well.
4.4 Advertising and targeting cookies
If we show advertising on the Website, these cookies may be set by our advertising partners. They can be used to show ads that may be relevant to you, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure the performance of campaigns. They may track your browsing across different websites. We will only place these cookies if you agree to them where the law requires it.

6. Third party services
Some features on our Website are provided by other companies, and they may place their own cookies. These can include analytics tools, advertising networks, embedded videos from platforms like YouTube, social media buttons and market data widgets. We do not control these cookies. Each of these companies has its own privacy and cookie policy that explains how they use your data. We recommend that you read them.
For example, you can learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services by visiting the Google privacy and terms pages.
7. How we treat cookies and your consent
When you first visit TRADE SENSI, a cookie banner appears. It lets you:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies, which means only strictly necessary cookies will be set
- Manage preferences so you can choose which categories you allow
We do not place analytics or advertising cookies until you have given consent, where the law requires it. Your choice is saved in a cookie so that we do not keep asking you.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, consent for processing personal data must be free, specific, informed and clear. We design our banner with that in mind, and we never make the use of the Website depend on accepting non-essential cookies.
8. How to control and delete cookies in your browser
Besides our banner, you can control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete some or all of them, and block cookies from particular sites or from all sites. The steps differ for each browser, but here is where to look.
Google Chrome: Open Settings, go to Privacy and security, and then choose Third-party cookies or Cookies and other site data.
Mozilla Firefox: Open Settings, go to Privacy and Security, and look under Cookies and Site Data.
Apple Safari: On Mac, open Safari Settings, choose Privacy and manage website data. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, choose Safari and then Privacy and Security.
Microsoft Edge: Open Settings, choose Cookies and site permissions, and then Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Android and other mobile browsers: Open the browser menu, then Settings, and look for Privacy or Site settings.
Please note that if you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, parts of the Website, such as forms and the AI prompt box, may not work properly. Deleting cookies will also remove your saved preferences, so you may need to set them again.
9. Opting out of analytics and advertising
You can take further steps to limit tracking.
- Google Analytics: You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops your visit data from being sent to Google Analytics.
- Personalised ads: You can manage ad personalisation in your Google account settings and in the ad settings of other platforms you use.
- Industry opt-out tools: Several industry websites let you opt out of interest based ads from participating companies.
- Device settings: Your phone or tablet may let you limit ad tracking or reset your advertising identifier.
- Private browsing: Using a private or incognito window prevents cookies from lasting after the window is closed, though sites can still see your visit while it is open.
10. Cookies and the AI prompt box
Our AI assistant needs a small amount of technical storage to work. A session identifier keeps your conversation together while you are on the page, and a preference setting can remember your language. These are used to provide the feature you asked for. They are separate from analytics and advertising cookies.
The questions you type into the prompt box are handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Please do not enter sensitive personal information into the prompt box, whatever your cookie settings are.
11. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal. Because there is not yet a common standard on how to respond to such signals, we may not change how our Website works when we receive one. We do, however, offer the cookie controls described above, and we respect your choices made through them.
12. Cookies in emails
Our newsletter may contain small tracking pixels and links that tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. We use this information only to understand what readers find useful and to improve our emails. You can limit this by turning off images in your email program, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.
13. Children
The Website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly use cookies to track or target children.
14. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when we add or remove tools, when technology changes or when the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. If we make significant changes, we may show you the cookie banner again so you can review your choices.
15. Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept cookies to read TRADE SENSI?
No. You can reject non-essential cookies and still read our articles. Only the strictly necessary cookies are needed for the site to function.
Will cookies give you my personal details?
Cookies usually store a random identifier and some technical settings, not your name or contact details. However, if a cookie can be linked to you, such as through your newsletter subscription, we treat it as personal data under our Privacy Policy.
Why do I see the cookie banner again?
This can happen if you cleared your cookies, use private browsing, switch browsers or devices, or if we updated this policy.
How do I change my choice later?
Click the Cookie Settings link in the footer. You can update your preferences at any time.
Do cookies slow down my device?
No. Cookies are very small and have almost no effect on speed. Some third party scripts connected to them can affect page loading, which is one reason we limit them.
Does TRADE SENSI sell my cookie data?
No. We do not sell personal data. Advertising partners may use cookies to show and measure ads, but only where you have agreed to this.
