Analytics cookies — used to understand how users navigate the platform so we can improve it. These are anonymous and do not identify you personally.
3. Essential Cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for TradeNest to function. These include authentication cookies set by Clerk to manage your login session, and security cookies to protect against cross-site request forgery. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the platform.
4. Preference Cookies
We store your language, currency, and theme preferences in your browser's localStorage so the platform feels consistent every time you return. These are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers. You can clear them at any time by clearing your browser data.
