Cookie Policy
How IMEXLOG uses cookies and similar technologies
Last Updated: October 3, 2026
In plain English
Cookies are small files that help the IMEXLOG platform remember who you are, keep your account secure, and improve your experience. You can control them at any time through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the platform works.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your login status, language preference, and other settings.
IMEXLOG also uses related technologies such as local storage, session storage, and Firebase Authentication tokens. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- •Authentication & security — to keep you logged in, verify your identity, and protect your account from unauthorized access.
- •Session management — to remember your preferences and maintain your session as you navigate between pages.
- •Performance & analytics — to understand how members use the platform so we can improve it.
- •Personalization — to remember your region, language, and display preferences.
- •Communication — to deliver live chat, notifications, and alerts you have opted into.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We classify our cookies into four categories. Here is what each one does and whether it is required.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔒 Strictly Necessary | Essential for the platform to function. Cannot be disabled. | Firebase auth tokens, session cookies, CSRF protection | Always on |

Some cookies on our platform are set by trusted third-party providers. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them:
- •Google (Firebase, Analytics) — policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
- •Stripe (Payments) — stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal

- •LinkedIn (if you click an ad) — linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
6. How to Control Cookies
You have full control over cookies. You can manage or delete them through your browser settings at any time. Here's how to access cookie settings in major browsers:
⚠️ Important: If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to log in, submit trade requests, or use other essential parts of the platform. Disabling optional cookies will not affect functionality but may reduce personalization and analytics improvements.
For mobile apps and iOS/Android browsers, cookie controls are typically found in your device settings or the app's in-app privacy menu.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals, IMEXLOG does not currently respond to them. However, you can control tracking through the cookie settings described above, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.
8. Your Rights (GDPR, NDPR, CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding cookies and personal data:
- •EU / EEA (GDPR) — the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are set
- •Nigeria (NDPR) — the right to control how your personal data is processed
- •California (CCPA / CPRA) — the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information
- •Brazil (LGPD) — the right to information and consent for data processing

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the platform or by email.
