Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device for a set period) or “session” (deleted when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you visit (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services (“third-party cookies”).

This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies we use on the Trading212 platform (“Platform”), why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for the Platform to function properly. They enable core functionality such as:

• User authentication and session management
• Maintaining your login state across pages
• Remembering your security preferences and consent choices
• Routing traffic across our servers for load balancing
• Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks

These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through the Platform. They are necessary for the secure operation of your account and the Platform. You can block essential cookies through your browser settings, but this may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly.

Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering preferences and choices you make on the Platform. These cookies allow us to:

• Remember your theme preference (light or dark mode)
• Remember your language and regional settings
• Remember your notification preferences
• Maintain your dashboard layout and widget positions
• Provide personalized features based on your usage

While disabling functional cookies will not break the core functionality of the Platform, it may reduce the quality of your experience by requiring you to reset your preferences on each visit.

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, and is used to:

• Count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve performance
• Identify which pages and features are most popular
• Detect user navigation patterns to improve the user experience
• Track error rates and platform stability
• Measure the effectiveness of platform updates and new features

We use industry-standard analytics providers, including but not limited to Google Analytics. These providers may set their own cookies to track user behavior across websites. Data collected through analytics cookies is anonymized where possible and used solely for platform improvement.

Security cookies are essential for protecting your account and the Platform from malicious activity. These cookies help us:

• Detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts
• Identify unusual account activity patterns
• Protect against brute force and credential stuffing attacks
• Monitor and block suspicious IP addresses
• Enforce rate limiting and access controls

Security cookies are strictly necessary for the safe operation of the Platform and cannot be disabled without compromising your account security.

You have control over how cookies are used on the Platform. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept all cookies, or delete cookies after each session. Check your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions.
• Platform Settings: You can adjust certain cookie preferences directly through your account settings on the Platform (where applicable).
• Third-Party Opt-Out: For analytics cookies, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

Please note that disabling certain cookies, particularly essential and security cookies, may significantly impact the functionality and security of the Platform.

Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party services that we use to operate and improve our services. These third parties include:

• Analytics Providers: Google Analytics, Amplitude, or similar services that help us understand user behavior
• Customer Support: Live chat and support ticketing platforms that may set functional cookies
• Fraud Prevention: Security and fraud detection services that set security cookies

These third parties are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes we specify and in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not allow advertising or marketing cookies on the Platform.

The retention period for cookies varies depending on their purpose:

• Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a specified period, typically ranging from 24 hours to 12 months, depending on the cookie type
• Security Cookies: May be retained for up to 12 months to protect against recurring threats
• Preference Cookies: Retained for up to 6 months or until you clear your browser cache

You can delete any cookie at any time through your browser settings. Please note that deleting cookies may log you out of the Platform and reset your preferences.
