What is this document and why should I read it?

This cookies policy explains how and why The Pro Trades (www.theprotrades.com) uses technology to collect information about your use of our website and to distinguish you from other users. This helps us improve your experience when browsing the Website.

Please read this cookies policy in conjunction with our privacy policy available at www.theprotrades.com/privacy.

Cookies and similar technologies: what are they?

When you use our Website, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and similar technologies like web beacons or SDKs.

A "cookie" is a file that websites send to a visitor's computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings on the device.

Web beacons (also called 'pixel tags' or GIFs) are small image file elements placed within web pages and web-based messaging, such as newsletters, that work together with cookies to recognize visitors and how they interact with the content. SDKs are pieces of data code included in mobile applications that function similarly.

Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?

The information we collect helps us better serve you when you return to our Website, for instance by remembering your email address to save you from entering it again. We also use cookies to track responses to our marketing materials, such as emails and online advertisements. You can manage how cookies are handled by your browser, but be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of this Website.

What types of cookies and similar technology do we use?

  • "Functionality" cookies allow a website to remember choices made by a user, such as language or region.

  • "Targeting or advertising" cookies deliver relevant adverts based on website activity tied to a particular device.

How do we store cookies and for how long?

Cookies are either stored in memory (session cookies) or on the user’s hard disk (persistent cookies). Session cookies expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted. Session cookies allow users to be recognized within a website, remembering actions from page to page.

Do we use web analytics and interest-based advertising?

We may use web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, or Hotjar. These services use cookies to help us analyze how visitors use the site.

Some online advertising takes place through Google AdSense, using features like Retargeting. We and ad network operators, including Google, may use cookies to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to our website.

We use cookies to:

  • Recognize you on subsequent visits.
