Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026 | Effective date: 1 January 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Tradora uses, and how you can control or delete them. This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we use the personal information we collect.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and provide basic reporting information to site owners.
Cookies are not programs — they cannot carry viruses or install software. They simply store small pieces of data that help a website remember your preferences or actions between visits.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (transparent pixel images), local storage (browser-side key-value pairs), and session storage. This Policy covers all of these technologies collectively.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use

3. How to Control Cookies
