Cookie Policy
Last updated:
Summary
Strictly necessary cookies keep the Website working and secure, and they are always on. Analytics cookies from Google and session-recording cookies from Microsoft help us understand how the Website is used, and we set each type only if you accept it. We do not use advertising cookies for our own purposes, but Microsoft may use data collected through Microsoft Clarity for its own purposes, including advertising.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser so that it can recognise your browser, keep track of a visit or remember your choices. Cookies stored under our domain (wxtrade.com) are first-party cookies, even when a provider such as Google or Microsoft sets them through its code on our pages. Cookies stored under another company's domain are third-party cookies. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as browser session storage, which is cleared when you close the tab.
2. The cookies we use
The tables below list our cookies by provider. To get a list of the individual cookies, email [email protected].
2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)
These cookies are needed for the Website to work and stay secure. The cookie that remembers your choices is set only when you make a choice in our cookie banner.
| Provider | Purpose | Maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
| WxTrade | Remembers your cookie choices | 12 months |
| Our security provider | Protects the Website against malicious traffic and automated bots | 30 minutes by default |
2.2 Analytics (only if you accept analytics)
| Provider | Purpose | Maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (Google) | Counts visits and shows how visitors use the Website | 13 months |
2.3 Session recordings (only if you accept session recordings)
| Provider | Purpose | Maximum duration |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft) | Records clicks, scrolling and mouse movements to create heatmaps and session recordings. Microsoft also sets its own third-party cookies and may use this data for its own purposes, including advertising | Up to 13 months |
Google and Microsoft may process the data from sections 2.2 and 2.3 in the United States, which may not protect personal data to the same standard as the law of your country. Section 6 of our Privacy Policy explains the safeguards we rely on. For details of how Google and Microsoft use the data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
2.4 Measurement without cookies
With your consent, we may also count visits and the pages you visit from the requests your browser makes. This does not use cookies.
3. Your choices
- Cookie banner: on your first visit, you can accept or reject analytics and session recordings, separately or together. We do not load Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity unless you accept them.
- Change your mind at any time: use the "Cookie Settings" link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. If you withdraw consent, we stop that collection and delete the related cookies stored under our domain. For session recordings, we also tell Microsoft through Clarity's consent signal. Cookies that Microsoft stores under its own domains can only be deleted in your browser settings.
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Website may not work.
When you make a choice, we record a random consent ID, your choices, the banner version and the date and time, so that we can show that we asked for consent.
4. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The "Last updated" date shows the current version.
