This Cookie Policy explains how Nexautotrade (“we,” “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at nexauttrade.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Nexautotrade is an independent publisher of educational advertorial content about AI-powered trading for Canadian investors; we are not a brokerage and we keep our use of cookies deliberately minimal.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — your computer, tablet or smartphone — when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site’s operators. A cookie typically contains the name of the website that created it, how long the cookie will remain on your device, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique identifier. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage, can also store small amounts of information on your device for comparable purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage
Our website uses a very limited set of cookies and local-storage entries, primarily to remember your cookie-consent choice and to keep the Site functioning correctly. Specifically, when you click “Accept” or “Decline” on our cookie banner, we store your preference using your browser’s local storage under the key cookie_consent, so that the banner does not appear on every page or every visit. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about you, and we do not sell any information collected through cookies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
The table below describes the technologies we currently use, their purpose, and how long they last:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies | Persistent (local storage, until cleared) |
| Server logs | Strictly necessary | Security, troubleshooting and abuse prevention | Up to 12 months |
4. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and local-storage entries are essential for the Site to operate as you expect. Without them, services you have explicitly requested — such as remembering that you have already responded to the cookie banner — cannot be provided. The cookie_consent entry falls into this category. Because these technologies are essential, they are not used for tracking or marketing, and disabling them may cause parts of the Site to behave unexpectedly, including the consent banner reappearing on every page load.
5. Analytics and Performance Cookies
At this time, Nexautotrade does not place third-party analytics cookies that identify individual visitors. Any usage statistics we review are derived from aggregated, de-identified server-log information used solely to maintain and improve the Site. Should we introduce analytics cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain your consent through the cookie banner before they are set.
6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
We do not use marketing, advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking cookies on the Site. Our content is educational advertorial material, and we do not operate behavioural advertising networks or share cookie data with advertisers.
7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. On our Site, you can decline non-essential storage by clicking “Decline” on the cookie banner. You can also clear your browser’s local storage at any time. In addition, most browsers allow you to view, manage, block and delete cookies through their settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Please note that if you disable or delete strictly necessary storage, some features of the Site may not function correctly, and your cookie-consent choice will not be remembered.
8. Legal Basis
We rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website as the basis for strictly necessary cookies and storage, consistent with PIPEDA’s reasonable-purposes standard. For any future analytics or marketing cookies, we would rely on your express consent, obtained through the cookie banner, before those technologies are activated. For more information about how we handle personal information generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or to applicable law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
