Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The TradeMakers (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It complements our Privacy Policy, which describes our overall data-handling practices in detail.
1. Introduction
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information to site owners.
We use the term “cookies” throughout this policy to refer collectively to cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, and similar tracking technologies.
2. Current Cookie Footprint
As of May 22, 2026, The TradeMakers public website (thetrademakers.com) uses only essential cookies necessary for site functionality and security.
We do not currently deploy analytics, advertising, marketing, or tracking cookies on this website. We do not currently use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, or any third-party advertising network on this site.
Note: our trader dashboard (a separate domain) and the BlackArrow trading platform are governed by their own cookie policies, which you can review when you sign in.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for core site functionality and security. They cannot be turned off in our systems without breaking site features. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your preferences, signing in, or filling in forms.
- Session cookies — temporary cookies that maintain state across a single browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Security cookies — protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats.
- Preference cookies — remember choices such as accepted language or layout preferences.
4. Future Updates to This Policy
We are evaluating analytics tools (such as Google Analytics 4) and marketing tools (such as Facebook Pixel) for future deployment to better understand how visitors use the site and to support marketing.
When we deploy any non-essential tracking technology, we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy with the effective date and a description of each new cookie or tracker.
- Disclose the third-party providers involved and link to their respective privacy policies.
- Provide a cookie consent mechanism so you can accept or decline non-essential cookies before they are set.
- Continue to honor “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control signals where required by law.
Until those tools are deployed, the disclosures in section 2 above accurately describe our cookie use.
5. Third-Party Cookies
The public website (thetrademakers.com) currently sets no third-party cookies.
Third-party services that we may link to from this site (for example, our Discord community, payment processors, or external articles) may set their own cookies when you navigate to those sites. Their cookie practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
6. How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable essential cookies, parts of the site may not function correctly.
- Manage cookies in Google Chrome
- Manage cookies in Mozilla Firefox
- Manage cookies in Safari (macOS)
- Manage cookies in Microsoft Edge

7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page and, where required, notify you through the site or by email.
Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
