01What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Cookies set by OnlyTrade are first-party cookies; cookies set by other providers are third-party cookies. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage, for comparable purposes — references to "cookies" in this notice include those technologies.
02How We Use Cookies
The OnlyTrade website uses a limited set of cookies, grouped into two categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to function and to keep it secure. These do not require your consent.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it. These are set only with your consent.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not sell your data or share it with advertising networks. The website does not embed third-party chat, video, or social media widgets that would set their own cookies.
03Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation and security of the website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or submitting a form. They do not require consent.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| onlytrade_session [confirm] | First-party | Maintains your session and keeps you signed in to authenticated areas. | Session |
| ot_cookie_consent [confirm] | First-party | Stores your cookie consent choices so we don't ask on every visit. | 12 months |
| csrf_token [confirm] | First-party | Security cookie that helps protect forms against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| ot_preferences [confirm] | First-party | Remembers interface preferences such as language or display settings. | 12 months |
The exact names above depend on the website's backend and must be confirmed by the technical team.
04Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use the website — for example, which pages are most visited and how users move through the site. This helps us improve content and performance. These cookies are set only after you give consent through our cookie banner.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Third-party (Google) | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Third-party (Google) | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state. | 2 years |
| _gid | Third-party (Google) | Distinguishes visitors and stores information about how the site is used. | 24 hours |
Google processes this data on our behalf. We recommend configuring Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. For more information about how Google uses data, see Google's privacy resources at policies.google.com/privacy.
05Managing Your Consent
When you first visit the website, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential (analytics) cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings via the "Cookie settings" [link/control] link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect data already collected before withdrawal, and does not affect strictly necessary cookies.
06Browser Controls
Most browsers also let you view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly. Guidance is usually found in your browser's help section (for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge).
07Changes to This Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
