Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about your browsing behaviour.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies — temporary and deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — stored on your device for a set period (days, months, or years)
• First-party cookies — set by Smart Trader Funds directly
• Third-party cookies — set by external services we use (such as analytics providers)

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

Some cookies on our website are set by trusted third parties providing services that help us operate the platform. These include:

• Analytics providers (for anonymised usage statistics)
• Payment processors (for secure checkout on Challenge purchases)
• Live chat and support widgets (for customer assistance)
• Social media platforms (if you interact with embedded content from Instagram, Telegram, etc.)
• Advertising networks (only with your consent)

Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie policy. We recommend reviewing their policies directly to understand how they handle your data.

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Instructions depend on your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Opt-out tools

For advertising and analytics cookies, industry-wide opt-out tools are available, such as Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.eu) for European users.

Do Not Track signals

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) signals where technically feasible. If your browser sends a DNT signal, non-essential tracking will be minimised.

You can disable most cookies without losing access to the website, but certain features may be affected:

• Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using interactive features such as the challenge configurator
• Disabling functional cookies means your language preference and configurator settings may not persist between visits
• Disabling analytics cookies removes anonymous tracking but does not impact your experience
• Disabling marketing cookies means you may see less relevant advertising from us on third-party sites

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage (HTML5 localStorage) to remember settings like your preferred language. These technologies do not transmit data back to our servers unless required, and you can clear them through your browser's site data settings.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new cookies we introduce, or evolving legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
