Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Trader's Hindsight (“ Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://tradershindsight.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, work more efficiently, or provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Trader's Hindsight) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality (such as advertising, interactive content, or analytics) to be provided on or through the website.

By default, we set only one first-party cookie and do not load third-party cookies as you browse. The one exception is our live chat: if you open it, our chat provider (Tawk.to) sets its own cookies to run the chat session.

Why do we use cookies?

Our own sign-in cookie serves one purpose: keeping you signed in. This is what privacy laws call a “strictly necessary” or “essential” cookie. Without it, you would have to re-enter your credentials on every page load, which would make the Service unusable.

We do not use cookies for:

• Analytics or usage tracking
• Advertising or retargeting
• Profiling or behavioural targeting
• Cross-site tracking
• Social media integration
• Selling, renting, or sharing your data

The cookies we use

The full list of cookies served through our Website:

• Supabase Auth Session Cookie — a strictly necessary, first-party session cookie managed by Supabase (our authentication provider) that keeps you signed in across page visits. It expires when you sign out or after a period of inactivity. It contains a session token that identifies your authenticated session — it does not contain personal data, tracking identifiers, or behavioural data.
• Live chat cookies (Tawk.to)— set only if you open our live chat. Our chat provider, Tawk.to, uses cookies to run the chat session and remember your conversation. They load only when you start a chat and are governed by Tawk.to's privacy policy. If you never open live chat, these are never set.

Because this cookie is strictly necessary to provide the Service, we do not require your consent to set it (consent for strictly-necessary cookies is not required under EU/UK ePrivacy rules).

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. As we only use one strictly necessary cookie, rejecting it via your browser will prevent you from signing in to the Service, but will not otherwise affect your access to the public website (landing page, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, etc.).

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. The means by which you can refuse cookies varies from browser to browser, so you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following links explain how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge
• Opera

What about other tracking technologies?

We do not use web beacons, tracking pixels, clear gifs, fingerprinting, Flash cookies, Local Shared Objects (LSOs), or any other tracking technology. The Website is intentionally lean: one auth cookie, standard server logs (for security and abuse prevention), and that is the entirety of our client-side tracking.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the “Effective” date at the top and notify signed-in users by email or in-app notice.
