Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sporttrade (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at “/cookie-policy” (the “Site”). It also explains your choices, including how to manage or disable cookies.

By using the Site, you agree that we can place and use cookies as described here, unless you choose to disable them through your browser or any cookie preference tools we provide.

Cookies, Explained in Plain English

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (like your computer, phone, or tablet). They help a site remember information about your visit, such as whether you are logged in, which settings you prefer, or how you move through pages.

Some cookies last only while your browser is open (session cookies). Others stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).

We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and software development kits, that work in a comparable way to cookies by collecting information about device activity and site usage.

Why Sporttrade Uses Cookies (And Why It Matters)

We use cookies to support core Site functionality, help keep accounts and transactions secure, understand how the Site performs, and improve your overall experience. Depending on your settings and how you use the Site, cookies may help us:

• Keep you signed in and maintain your session
• Protect the Site from fraud, abuse, and automated attacks
• Remember preferences (such as language or display settings)
• Measure page performance and troubleshoot errors
• Understand which content is most helpful to visitors
• Support marketing and advertising features, where enabled

The Main Types of Cookies You Might See Here

Cookies generally fall into a few categories. Not every visitor will receive every cookie, and some cookies only appear when specific features are used.

Essential Cookies (Required for the Site to Work)

Essential cookies help the Site function properly. They are typically used for security, network management, and basic features like logging in, moving between pages, and keeping your session active.

If you block essential cookies, parts of the Site may not work correctly, and some services may not be available.

Functional Cookies (Makes Your Experience Smoother)

Functional cookies help the Site remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For example, they may remember preferences so you do not have to re-enter the same information repeatedly.

If you disable functional cookies, the Site can still work, but it may feel less personalized or convenient.

Performance and Analytics Cookies (Helps Us Improve)

Performance cookies, including analytics cookies, help us understand how visitors use the Site. They can show which pages are visited most often, how long pages take to load, and whether users run into errors.

We use this information in aggregate to improve site stability, usability, and content. These cookies are not intended to directly identify you by name, but they may collect device and usage information like browser type, approximate location (based on internet address), and visit patterns.

Marketing Cookies (Ads and Measurement)

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests, limit how often you see an ad, and measure the performance of marketing campaigns.

These cookies can be set by us or by third-party partners. If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant, and some marketing-related features may not function as intended.

First-Party Cookies vs Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are “first-party cookies,” meaning they are set by Sporttrade. Others are “third-party cookies,” meaning they are set by a company other than Sporttrade, typically to provide services like analytics, security, advertising, video, or customer support tools.

Third parties may collect information directly from your browser and may combine it with other information they have about you, according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review third-party privacy and cookie disclosures when available.

What Information Cookies May Collect

Depending on the cookie and how you use the Site, cookies and similar technologies may collect information such as:

• Device and browser details (like browser type, operating system, device identifiers)
• Internet address and general location (not precise location by default)
• Pages viewed, links clicked, and actions taken on the Site
• Date and time of visits and how you arrived at the Site
• Session identifiers and security-related signals

We do not use cookies to intentionally collect sensitive information unless it is necessary for security, account protection, or a feature you choose to use.

Your Choices: How to Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways. The right option depends on the experience you want and the device you use.

Option 1: Use Your Browser Settings

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings, including allowing, blocking, or deleting cookies. You can usually also set your browser to block third-party cookies or to clear cookies when you close the browser.

If you disable cookies, you may need to re-enter login details more often, and some features - including account-related tools - may not work properly.

Option 2: Delete Cookies You Already Have

You can delete cookies that are already stored on your device by clearing your browser’s browsing data. After deletion, the Site may “forget” saved preferences, and you may be logged out of certain features.

Option 3: Manage Third-Party Advertising Settings (Where Available)

Some third-party advertising partners provide ways to limit interest-based advertising through their own tools. Availability varies by provider and device, and changing these settings may not stop all advertising, but it can reduce personalization.

How Cookie Preferences Can Affect Site Functionality

Blocking or deleting cookies can change how the Site behaves. For example:

• You may be logged out unexpectedly or unable to stay signed in
• Security checks may become more frequent to protect your account
• Some pages may load more slowly or fail to display correctly
• Preferences may reset (like display or region settings)
• Certain customer support or embedded tools may not load as expected

If you run into issues after changing cookie settings, try enabling essential cookies or restoring default browser cookie settings.

Consent and Legal Basis for Use

Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as certain analytics or marketing cookies). In other cases, we may rely on legitimate interests, such as securing the Site, preventing fraud, and improving performance, while still providing you with meaningful choices.

If we provide a cookie banner or preference center, your selections there will apply in addition to any browser-level controls you set.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, services, legal requirements, or how we operate the Site. When we make updates, we will revise the policy content posted on this page.

If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through the Site or through account-related communications where appropriate.
