Cookies

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. A tag is a snippet of JavaScript that fires when a page loads, often used to record an analytics event or attribute an ad click. Together, they let us deliver the site reliably, understand what readers find useful, and measure whether our advertising actually reaches the right people.

Google Tag Manager

Loader for the analytics and advertising tags below. Does not itself set cookies for tracking; configuration is delivered via googletagmanager.com.

Google Ads

Sets first-party cookies (for example _gcl_au and _gcl_aw) to attribute conversions to ad clicks. Manage personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com.

Meta Pixel

Sets the _fbp first-party cookie to measure conversions and build audiences for our Meta campaigns. Manage off-Facebook activity in your Meta account at facebook.com/off_facebook_activity.

Microsoft Clarity

Sets cookies (for example _clck and _clsk) to record aggregate, anonymised session replays and heatmaps. Clarity respects the browser-level “Do Not Track” signal; details at Clarity cookies documentation.

IPInfo

Server-side IP-to-geography lookup used to localise content. Does not set a cookie in your browser.

Vercel

Our hosting provider may set short-lived operational cookies to route requests reliably. These are not used for tracking and are required for the site to function.

We also store a small lang-preference value in your browser's localStorage when you switch language so we can keep your choice across visits. This value is not transmitted to any server and is not a cookie. Clearing site data in your browser removes it.

Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their privacy settings. Look for “Cookies,” “Site data,” or “Privacy and security” in your browser's preferences. The vendor-specific opt-out links above offer finer-grained control over advertising personalisation.

Blocking cookies entirely may degrade some features (for example, keeping you logged into your unsubscribe confirmation, or remembering your language preference).

We may update this page when we add, remove, or change tools. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent material change. Questions go to team@stocktrademarket.com, and the broader privacy framing lives on the Privacy page.
