1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when a website loads. Session cookies expire when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain until deleted or reach their expiry date. Pixels, local storage and similar technologies serve comparable purposes—collectively “cookies”.
2. Why we use cookies
- Strictly-necessary (IAB Purpose 1) — authentication, secure login, fraud prevention.
- Functional (Purpose 2) — remember preferences such as language, dark/light theme.
- Performance / analytics (Purpose 7) — aggregated traffic statistics (Plausible, Google Analytics).
- Advertising / targeting (Purposes 4 & 5) — only if you interact with embedded third-party widgets (e.g. TradingView charts).
3. First-party cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| mme_session | Maintains logged-in state | 24 h |
| theme | Stores dark / light preference | 12 mo |
| plausible_ignore | Opt-out flag for Plausible | 5 yr |
4. Third-party cookies
Embedded services may set their own cookies. We do not control their expiry dates. Please review their policies:
- TradingView — tradingview.com/privacy-policy
- Stripe — stripe.com/cookies-policy
- Google Analytics — policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
5. Consent & managing cookies
On your first visit we display a banner requesting consent for non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw consent anytime via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
You may also:
- Delete or block cookies in your browser settings.
- Enable “Do Not Track” — we honour it for analytics.
- Install browser add-ons (e.g. Google Analytics Opt-out).
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break core functions like secure login or checkout.
