πŸͺ TradePesa Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 12, 2025
Last Updated: August 30, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies TradePesa uses across the marketplace, Practice and Live trading modes, M-Pesa and USDC deposits, community features (profiles, following, posts), and the Solana blockchain listing and open-market launch features.

By continuing to use TradePesa, you agree to this Cookie Policy. For how we handle your personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.


1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember information between visits. TradePesa also uses similar browser storage (such as local storage) for the same purpose. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (kept for a set period, such as a "remember me" login).


2. Cookies We Use

a. Essential Cookies

Required for the platform to work at all. These keep you logged in, remember whether you're in Practice or Live trading mode, protect your account with CSRF security tokens, and power your shopping/trading session. Without these, you cannot log in or trade.

b. Security & Session Cookies

TradePesa automatically signs you out after a period of inactivity for your account's security, and uses secure tokens to verify your identity on sensitive actions like deposits, withdrawals, and Solana blockchain listing payments.

c. Preference Cookies

Remember your language selection, your last-viewed token, and your notification preferences, so you don't have to reset them every visit.

d. App Install Tracking

If you install TradePesa as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your device, we record that installation so we can measure adoption of the app experience.

e. Analytics (if enabled)

We may use anonymized analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand how the platform is used and to improve it. These do not identify you personally.


3. What We Don't Do With Cookies

  • We do not use cookies to sell or share your personal data with third-party advertisers.
  • We do not run third-party advertising or ad-retargeting cookies on TradePesa.
  • We do not track you across unrelated websites.

4. Third-Party Services

A small number of essential third-party services may set their own cookies or receive limited data when you use certain features:

  • Safaricom M-Pesa β€” when depositing or withdrawing KES
  • The Solana blockchain network β€” if you use the blockchain listing or open-market launch features
  • Our AI service provider β€” if you use the in-app AI chat assistant
  • Web push notification services β€” if you enable browser notifications

5. How Long Do We Keep Cookie Data?

  • Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser, or automatically expire after a period of inactivity for your security.
  • Persistent cookies (e.g. "remember me"): kept until you log out, clear your browser data, or the cookie naturally expires.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or trading on TradePesa. You can also manage browser push notification permissions directly in your browser or device settings.


7. Children's Privacy

TradePesa is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect cookie or usage data from minors.


8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our features change or legal requirements evolve. Continued use of TradePesa after an update means you accept the revised policy.
