Cookies and Usage Measurement

Effective 19 September 2026. This notice describes the cookies and measurement TradeClever uses on its website and workspace. It does not replace a complete privacy notice for account and application data.

TradeClever uses essential cookies and similar technologies to keep the service secure, maintain signed-in sessions and remember your preferences. We also use third-party analytics services to understand how visitors use our website and improve our services.

Usage measurement is enabled by default on public and workspace pages and starts automatically when you visit, without a cookie-choice pop-up. Our analytics providers may use cookies and browser identifiers to measure page visits, repeat visits and feature usage, and may process technical information such as browser and device details and approximate location.

Our analytics events do not include your name, email address, password, TradeClever account ID, saved scan expressions or watchlist contents. We also maintain separate aggregate traffic counts and short-lived page-presence records on our own infrastructure. These records are not linked to your TradeClever account and are not sent to our third-party analytics providers.

Browser settings, privacy signals and blocking tools may affect measurement. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser. Restricting essential cookies may affect sign-in and requested features.

By using TradeClever, you acknowledge the data practices described in this notice. This notice does not replace any consent required by applicable law or limit your privacy rights.

Essential cookies and storage

TradeClever provides this storage for authentication, security and requested preferences. It is required for the service to work.

• Session cookies keep you signed in. The session lifetime is up to 30 days and may be renewed while you use the service. Sign-out removes the session cookie.
• Sign-in security cookies (CSRF and callback cookies) support secure sign-in and navigation; they are session cookies.
• Requested chart range, chart indicators and column choices are stored locally until changed or cleared through your browser. They are not sent to our analytics providers.
• If you rejected optional cookies in this browser through the former cookie settings panel, that choice remains stored under tradeclever.cookie-preferences.v2 for up to 180 days from when it was made. We respect it for that period (see below); we do not extend it, and we never turn it into an acceptance.

Usage measurement

Our third-party analytics services measure page visits, workspace entry clicks, registrations and logins, scan runs and saves, watchlist changes, alert saves and CSV export requests. Categories, counts and scan durations help us understand which pages and features people use. Measurement starts on your first visit and runs on every visit; there is no in-page control to switch it on or off.

These services may set cookies and receive browser and session identifiers along with technical visit information such as browser, device and approximate location. Our integration limits new measurement cookies to 180 days and disables automatic cookie-lifetime renewal. Advertising storage, advertising personalization and advertising signals are disabled in our configuration.

We remove URL queries and fragments and replace symbol identifiers in measured paths, and we exclude names, email addresses, passwords, account IDs, saved scan names, scan expressions and watchlist contents from our events.

Two exceptions apply. If this browser still holds a valid earlier rejection of optional cookies, the measurement service loads without measurement cookies until that rejection expires: it then receives only cookieless requests without a browser identifier. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, our third-party measurement does not load at all, no measurement cookies are set and an earlier acceptance stored in this browser is replaced by a rejection. Admin and password-reset pages load no measurement at all.

Aggregate traffic counts

When enabled, a separate server counter records daily totals of page requests and page views: the UTC date, a cleaned page path, the count type and a count. Page requests are counted when a page reaches our server; page views are confirmed by your browser sending a small message with the cleaned page path once per page it shows. It does not create visitor identifiers or retain individual visit records, IP addresses, browser identifiers, account IDs, session IDs or private URL values in these counters.

While a page is open and visible, the browser also sends a short heartbeat with a random value that exists only in that page’s memory, so we can see how many pages are open right now. The value is not a cookie, is not stored in your browser and is not linked to you or your account; it expires 90 seconds after the last heartbeat and its record is deleted within 30 minutes.

These aggregate counts are independent of optional cookies and do not go to our third-party analytics services. They help us understand demand for pages and improve the service. Our hosting and database providers, Vercel and Neon, process the service infrastructure. Daily counters are retained for 365 days. Ordinary hosting and security operations are separate from these counters.

A server request, a page view or an open page is not a unique visitor or a person. Navigation served entirely from a browser’s cache is not counted as a request, but the page view is. Known bots and prefetch requests are excluded, although some automated traffic may remain.

Your controls

You can block or delete cookies, including measurement cookies, through your browser settings, and you can use content-blocking tools or a browser that sends the Global Privacy Control signal. Deleting cookies does not delete information already collected. Restricting essential cookies may affect sign-in and requested features. Local development and preview environments do not send measurement events or record production traffic counts.
