Cookie & Tracking Policy
TradingQuantz
Effective Date: May 8, 2026
1. FUNCTIONAL NECESSITY
The TQ website and Customer Portal utilise cookies and local storage for essential operational purposes:
- Session Persistence: Maintaining secure, authenticated access to the member portal across page navigations.
- Security: Detecting fraudulent login attempts, verifying device consistency, and enforcing the "1 User = 1 License" hardware-binding policy.
- System Check: Verifying that the User's system meets the technical eligibility requirements (Windows-based environment, NinjaTrader 8 compatibility) for TQ software.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES USED
TQ employs only the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for login authentication, session management, and CSRF protection. These cannot be disabled without rendering the Customer Portal non-functional.
- Functional Cookies: Store user preferences such as language, disclaimer acknowledgment status, and dashboard layout settings.
- Security Cookies: Machine ID verification tokens, IP geolocation markers, and rate-limiting counters used to prevent credential sharing and brute-force attacks.
3. ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE
TQ uses limited analytical tracking to monitor platform stability and optimise the performance of the analytical engines. No advertising, re-targeting, or third-party marketing cookies are deployed at any point.
4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Payment processing services (e.g., Moneris) may set their own cookies during the checkout process. These cookies are governed by the respective third-party privacy policies and are outside the direct control of TQ.
5. MANAGING YOUR COOKIES
Users may adjust browser settings to reject or delete cookies at any time. However, doing so will render the Customer Portal and associated analytical tools non-functional. By continuing to use the TQ website and Customer Portal, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
6. DATA RETENTION
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies (such as disclaimer acknowledgment and device verification tokens) are retained for a maximum of 90 days unless renewed by continued portal usage.
7. DEEMED AGREEMENT BY CONTINUED USE
By continuing to access and browse this website, you are deemed to have read, understood, and irrevocably consented to the cookie practices described herein. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease use of all TQ platforms.
