WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies (or “cookies”) are small text fragments of data that a website sends to the user’s browser, where they are stored on the device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Each cookie contains information that allows the website to recognize the user and their actions during subsequent visits or when navigating between pages.

Cookies serve various purposes:

  • They ensure the technical functionality of the website,
  • Help save user preferences,
  • Contribute to security and identification,
  • Improve the user experience through personalization,
  • They are used for behavior analytics and marketing purposes.

We use both session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the session ends, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until the set expiration date or until manually deleted. We may also use third-party cookies placed by our partners (e.g., for analytics, advertising, or social media integration) to collect information about your interactions with the Arty Traders platform.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies, such as pixels (web beacons), which allow us to analyze actions taken on the platform, in emails, or during advertising campaigns.

These technologies are an integral part of the user experience and help us develop and maintain a high-quality, secure, and user-tailored service.

WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE AND WHY?

Depending on their purpose, we use several types of cookies on the Arty Traders platform. Each type has its own purpose and retention period, and they play an important role in improving the website’s functionality and your interaction with it.

These cookies collect information about how you use the platform, including which pages you visit, how much time you spend on them, and what actions you take. This helps us analyze and improve the website’s performance, optimize navigation, and enhance user experience.

Example: We use analytics services such as Google Analytics to gather statistics on user visits and behavior on the platform.

ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES: PIXELS AND TRACKING LINKS

In providing our services, we use additional technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and click-tracking URLs to enhance the functionality of our website, analyze user behavior, and optimize user interactions. These technologies help us collect information about user actions on the platform and better tailor our marketing and advertising campaigns.

PIXELS AND WEB BEACONS

Pixels and web beacons are small images, typically 1×1 pixels in size or transparent files, that are embedded on pages of our website or in email communications. These elements track when and which pages are visited by users, as well as collect data on actions such as clicks on links or other interactions with our content. Pixels and web beacons enable us to:

  • Track the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and analyze their results.
  • Collect data on user behavior on the website to improve user experience and personalization.
  • Enhance the accuracy and relevance of advertising and content displayed on our site.

CLICK-TRACKING URLS

Click-tracking URLs are specially crafted URLs that contain tracking parameters to monitor clicks. When a user clicks on such a URL, the system collects information about how the user interacts with specific content or advertising offers. These links are used to:

    • Determine which advertising and marketing campaigns are most effective.
    • Track user interactions with external partners or advertising resources.
  • Analyze clicks and transitions, helping us improve the content and offers on the platform.

These technologies help us gain insights into user behavior, optimize our services, and offer more targeted advertising and content that aligns with your preferences.

We collect information about you from external sources with whom we have business relationships. For the purpose of verifying your identity, preventing fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities, as well as complying with legal requirements, we use third-party identity verification services. We also receive information about you and your activities from companies such as Google, LinkedIn, Meta, and other advertising, social media, and market research partners who provide data regarding your interest in our services.

Additionally, we may obtain information from marketing partners through referral programs, partnership agreements, retirement account providers, and joint marketing initiatives.
