Tradecraft Journal
Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 8, 2026
This lists every cookie and browser-local-storage value Tradecraft Journal actually sets — nothing generic, nothing hypothetical. If a new feature ever adds one, this page gets updated along with it.
You chose which optional categories to allow the first time you visited, and can change that any time.
A cookie is a small piece of text a site asks your browser to store and send back on later requests — that's how a site "remembers" you between page loads. Local storage is similar but stays only on your device and is never sent to any server automatically; we use it purely to remember small display preferences on the device you're using.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie Necessary |
Strictly Necessary | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages, and holds the one-time security token that protects your forms against cross-site request forgery. | Until you close your browser |
rememberNecessary |
Strictly Necessary | Set only if you tick "Remember me" at login. Lets that specific device skip the emailed verification code for a limited time, since it already proved who you are once. | 30 days |
tc_consentNecessary |
Strictly Necessary | Remembers your cookie preference itself, so we don't ask again every page load. Recording a consent choice is exempt from needing consent of its own. | 180 days |
These load only after you turn on "Third-Party / Embedded Content" in Cookie Settings. Until then, the Heatmap tab shows a prompt instead of loading anything.
| Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| TradingView Optional |
Third-Party / Embedded Content | Powers the live S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, forex and commodities heatmap widgets on the Heatmap tab. TradingView sets its own cookies once its widget script runs — we don't control what those are or how long they last. | Set by TradingView |
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Theme preference | Remembers whether you last chose light or dark mode. |
| Active trading account | Remembers which of your trading accounts was last selected, so it's still selected next time. |
This app's fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com /
fonts.gstatic.com). Google's own documentation states this service does not use cookies or
log personally identifiable information — but your browser does contact Google's servers to download the
font files, which necessarily exposes your IP address to them, the same as loading an image from any
external site would.
Checkout and billing management happen entirely on Stripe's own hosted pages, not embedded in this app — Stripe may set cookies there, on its own domain, governed by Stripe's own cookie policy, not this one.
