Cookie Policy

Trading Lab 247 — tradinglab247.com Effective date: 16 May 2026 Last updated: 16 May 2026

1. Introduction

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to remember your preferences.

Trading Lab 247 uses very few cookies. We have deliberately kept our use of cookies to the minimum necessary to operate the platform securely. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or behavioural profiling of any kind.

Short version: We set one cookie to keep you logged in, and Stripe sets fraud-prevention cookies only if you visit a checkout page. That's it.

If you have any questions, contact us at support@tradinglab247.com.


2. The Cookies We Set

We set cookies in exactly two categories.

2.1 Session / Authentication Token

AttributeDetail
PurposeKeeps you signed in to your Trading Lab 247 account
TypeFirst-party, functional (strictly necessary)
DurationSession (expires when you close your browser), or rolling 30 days if you choose "Remember me"
Can it be disabled?Technically yes, but doing so will break login — you will not be able to use the platform

This cookie contains a cryptographically signed token that identifies your authenticated session. It does not contain your password or any sensitive personal data beyond a session reference. It is transmitted only over HTTPS.

Legal basis: Strictly necessary — no consent required under UK GDPR / PECR.

2.2 Stripe Payment Cookies

AttributeDetail
PurposeFraud prevention and secure payment processing
TypeThird-party (Stripe, Inc.)
When setOnly on checkout and billing pages
DurationPer Stripe's Privacy Policy

When you visit a checkout or subscription management page, Stripe sets cookies on your device to detect fraudulent transactions and to ensure the security of the payment flow. These cookies are set by Stripe, not by us, and are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy. We have no access to the data they collect.

If you are on the Free plan and never visit a checkout page, Stripe cookies will never be set on your device.

Legal basis: Strictly necessary for payment processing — no consent required.


3. Analytics — No Cookies Used

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. All statistics are aggregated and anonymous — page views, referral sources, country-level geography, and device type only.

Because Plausible is cookieless, we do not display a cookie consent banner, and no analytics consent is required from you under UK GDPR or the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

We do not use:

Google Analytics
Facebook Pixel
Hotjar
Advertising networks
Retargeting pixels

4. Third-Party Cookies

Other than the Stripe cookies described in section 2.2, we do not permit any third-party cookies on our platform. We do not use social media tracking pixels, live-chat tools that set persistent cookies, or any third-party advertising or analytics service that uses cookies.


5. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. The links below explain how to do this in common browsers:

Important: Blocking or deleting our session cookie will sign you out of Trading Lab 247 and prevent you from staying logged in. Blocking Stripe cookies will not affect general platform use but may interfere with the subscription checkout process.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features that require additional cookies. We will publish any changes on this page and update the effective date at the top. If the changes are material, we will notify you by email or by a notice within the platform.
