Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 September 2026. Learn how Intelitrade Ltd, the company behind stockmates.co, uses cookies and similar technologies.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide useful information to the website owner. This policy also covers similar technologies used for the same purposes, such as local storage in your browser, which stockmates.co uses to remember your cookie choices and to sign you in without asking for your password on every visit.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your cookie preferences, keep your account and trading data secure, and understand how visitors use our site so that we can improve it. We do not currently use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes — the "Marketing" toggle in our cookie banner is reserved for future use and does not activate anything today.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate and cannot be switched off. This includes cookies and local storage used by Google Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in, and to remember the cookie choice you make below. We also use Sentry, an error-monitoring tool, to detect and fix bugs — we treat this as strictly necessary to keep the Services running reliably and secure, so it is not gated by the analytics toggle below.
Analytics cookies — we use Contentsquare to understand how visitors use our website (such as which pages are visited and how people navigate the site) so we can improve its design and performance. Contentsquare only loads if you accept analytics cookies below, or have previously done so.
Marketing cookies — we do not currently use any advertising or marketing cookies. Our cookie banner includes a "Marketing" toggle for transparency and to support features we may add in future, but no marketing or advertising technology is active on stockmates.co today; accepting this category has no effect. We will update this policy before turning on any real marketing cookie if that ever changes.
Full list of cookies and local storage we use:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication session storage | Google Firebase | Keeps you signed in without re-entering your password on every visit | Until you sign out | Essential |
cookie-consent, cookie-analytics, cookie-marketing | stockmates.co (local storage) | Remembers the cookie choice you make in our banner | Persistent, until you clear your browser storage or change your choice | Essential |
| Sentry error-tracking identifiers | Sentry | Detects and helps us fix bugs in the Services | Session-scoped | Essential |
| Contentsquare analytics cookies | Contentsquare | Understands how visitors use our site, only loaded if you accept analytics cookies | Per Contentsquare's own retention policy | Analytics |
Managing Cookies
You have the right to accept or decline non-essential cookies at any time. When you first visit our website, you'll be asked to choose via our cookie banner — declining analytics cookies there means Contentsquare is never loaded for you. You can also manage or remove cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will always be respected regardless of any choice made in our banner.
Please note that essential cookies (such as those keeping you signed in) cannot be declined without affecting your ability to use the Services — if you block these at the browser level, you may be signed out or unable to use parts of the site.
Changed your mind since your first visit? You don't need to clear your browser settings manually — you can reopen our cookie preferences below at any time.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or the way we operate our business — for example, if we introduce new analytics or marketing tools. When we make significant changes, we will update the date shown at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
