This Cookie Policy explains how Apotoe Trading ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Apotoe Trading platform (the "Platform"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Together they allow us to recognise your device, keep you signed in, and understand how the Platform is used.

We group the technologies we use into four categories: strictly necessary, functional, analytics, and security. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.

These are required to operate the Platform. They support authentication, session continuity, load balancing, and security. The Platform cannot function without them, so they cannot be disabled through Platform controls.

Functional cookies remember choices you make — such as language, theme, layout preferences, and recently viewed items — so that your experience is consistent between visits.

Analytics cookies help us understand which pages and features are used, so we can improve reliability, performance, and usability. Where possible, analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Security cookies help us detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, and protect the Platform and its users.

We use browser local storage and session storage to hold information that helps the interface work smoothly — for example, form drafts, recent filters, and temporary caches.

Most technologies we use are first-party, meaning they are set by the Apotoe Trading domain. A limited number of third-party technologies may be used for authentication, error monitoring, or infrastructure services.

Third-party services that may set cookies include our authentication provider, database and hosting platform, error and performance monitoring tools, and payment providers used to process transactions.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period, or until they are deleted, so we can recognise your device on your next visit.

Where required by law, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and on legitimate interests or contractual necessity for strictly necessary cookies.

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Restricting cookies may affect functionality of the Platform, including your ability to remain signed in.

Because there is no consistent industry standard for "Do Not Track" signals, the Platform does not currently respond differently to them. We continue to monitor developments in this area.

On mobile devices you can generally manage similar controls through your operating system and browser privacy settings.

The specific cookies and technologies we use may change as we add features, work with new providers, or retire existing ones. We update this policy to reflect material changes.

We keep information collected through cookies only for as long as needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

Data stored through cookies is protected using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, in line with our Privacy Policy.

The Platform is not intended for anyone under 18 and cookies are not used to knowingly collect information from children.
