Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your experience on the Platform. Some cookies are essential for the Platform to function; others are optional.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Platform to operate. They cannot be disabled. They include:

• Authentication tokens: Stored in localStorage to maintain your session securely (nv_access, nv_refresh).
• Pending session tokens: Stored in sessionStorage during device verification and email OTP flows (nv_pending).
• User profile cache: Stored in localStorage to avoid repeated API calls (nv_user).
• CSRF protection: Helps prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings, such as your last selected market or dashboard layout. They improve your experience but are not strictly required.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with the Platform — which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and where errors occur. These cookies are anonymized and do not identify you personally.

2.4 Security Cookies

These cookies help us detect and prevent fraudulent activity by tracking device fingerprints and unusual access patterns.

3. How We Use Cookie Data

• To keep you logged in securely between page visits.
• To remember your device during the 30-day trusted device period.
• To analyze Platform performance and fix bugs.
• To detect suspicious login attempts from new devices.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using core features of the Platform including login and trading. Clearing localStorage and sessionStorage will log you out of your account.

Most browsers allow you to: view cookies stored by websites, delete individual or all cookies, block cookies from specific websites, and set preferences for future cookie usage.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on the Platform. Any third-party services we use (analytics, error tracking) operate under strict data processing agreements and anonymize data wherever possible.

6. Changes to This Policy

We will notify you of material changes to this Cookie Policy via email or a notice on the Platform.
