Cookie Policy

1.0 UNDERSTANDING COOKIES

Cookies are minute text strings downloaded to your operating unit when accessing websites. They allow platforms to persist secure login states, analyze latency, and target visual adjustments. In addition to cookies, we utilize standard HTML5 local storage systems to cache simulated operations.

2.0 CATEGORY CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES

Our cookies are grouped into three primary functional layers:

• Essential Security Cookies: Deployed to manage secure Firebase authentication nodes. These verify you are the legitimate owner of the active terminal session. Disabling these will break profile synchronization features.
• Functional Telemetry (LocalStorage): We employ browser local storage to hold simulated logs:
  • apex_local_trades holds your simulated trade database history.
  • apex_local_balance coordinates your virtual paper trading cash account balance.
  These functional elements are isolated to your local machine and do not upload to central servers.
• Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Google utilizes cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

3.0 THIRD-PARTY SERVICES TRACKING

Our platform integrates with Google Firebase (account databases) and Google AdSense (display advertisements). These external services have independent tracking cookies. You may inspect their respective privacy agreements for details on their data transmission procedures.

4.0 COOKIE CONTROL & REVOCATION

You hold absolute control over cookies:

• You may configure your browser options to reject all cookies or request permission before accepting one.
• You can clear your local database at any time by executing a cache clear in your browser settings.
• To opt out of personalized interest-based advertising served by Google, visit the Google Ads Settings page.
