**Cookies**

Cookies are small pieces of information, often including a unique identification number, that are stored on your computer’s hard drive as a result of your use of Trade Academy trading software and/or access to Trade Academy websites.

We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period.

We set a persistent cookie for statistical purposes. Persistent cookies also allow us to track and target the location and interests of our users and enhance the user experience on our website.

You can remove persistent cookies by following the instructions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. If you do not wish to receive cookies at all, you can modify your browser’s settings to reject all cookies or to notify you when your computer receives a cookie, giving you the opportunity to accept or decline it. However, this may compromise the quality of services we provide to you in relation to your account. Some persistent cookies, such as Flash cookies, cannot be removed and cannot be blocked by changing browser settings.

Some persistent cookies may not be removed or blocked by your Internet browser. If you wish to disable all cookies, please send a request to [email protected].

Remarketing is a way for us to connect with website visitors and display our ads to them based on their past interactions with our website and ads. Third-party marketing providers may be hired by Trade Academy to perform such remarketing services. As a result, third-party providers, including Google, may display Trade Academy ads on Internet websites. Such third-party providers, including Google, may also use their own cookies, third-party cookies, and similar technologies to serve ads based on a visitor’s previous visits to the Trade Academy website.

You can disable Google Analytics for display advertisers and opt out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting Google Ad Preferences Manager. We also encourage you to visit the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for further information. For more information, you can visit Google’s Privacy & Terms page.
