Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies automated-trading.ch sets on your browser and why. It complements our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They can be used to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login state.

Cookies We Use

We only use the following cookies, all of which are strictly necessary for the site to function:

• Session cookie: keeps you logged in and maintains your session state while you browse the site. Expires after a period of inactivity.
• CSRF token cookie (XSRF-TOKEN): a security cookie that protects forms on the site from cross-site request forgery attacks.
• "Remember me" cookie: set only if you check "Remember me" when logging in, so you stay logged in across browser sessions.
• Language preference cookie (locale): remembers which language (English or French) you last viewed the site in, for up to one year.

Why We Don't Use a Cookie Consent Banner

All of the cookies listed above are "strictly necessary" or "functional" cookies under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive — they don't require your consent, only disclosure, which this page provides. We currently do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. If that changes in the future, we will update this policy and add a consent mechanism at that time.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not load any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts on this site, so no third-party cookies are set through our pages. Our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) may set their own cookies when you are on their own checkout pages, under their own respective cookie policies.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Note that blocking the session or CSRF cookies will prevent you from logging in or using forms on this site.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use change — for example, if we add analytics in the future. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
