Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Poké-Trade ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at poke-trade.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting preferences, or filling in forms.

• Authentication cookies: Keep you signed in as you navigate the site
• Session cookies: Maintain your session state (e.g., items in cart, trade in progress)
• Security cookies: Help detect fraud and protect your account (CSRF tokens)
• Load balancing: Distribute traffic across our servers for optimal performance

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the site for everyone.

• Usage analytics: Pages visited, time on site, bounce rate, feature usage
• Performance monitoring: Page load times, error tracking, API response times
• A/B testing: Help us test improvements to the Platform experience

We use privacy-focused analytics tools that do not track you across other websites.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make to give you a better, personalized experience.

• Theme preference: Remember your dark/light mode selection
• Language preference: Remember your preferred language
• Display settings: Grid vs. list view, sort preferences, filters
• Cookie consent: Remember your cookie preferences so we don't ask repeatedly

How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Here's how to manage them:

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Privacy" section of your browser. You can:

• Block all cookies
• Accept only first-party cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Delete existing cookies at any time

Please note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning properly. You may not be able to log in, complete trades, or use core features if essential cookies are disabled.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. We respect DNT signals and will not use analytics cookies when DNT is enabled.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version.
