Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners about how visitors use their site.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by organizations other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies allow features or functionality provided by a third party (such as analytics, advertising, or interactive content) to be delivered on or through the website you visit.

Cookies can be "session cookies" — which expire when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. The cookies we use on aIIasso.com and the Allasso platform are described in detail in this policy.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies Allasso uses on aIIasso.com and within the Allasso options analytics platform, why we use them, and what choices you have about their use. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy at aIIasso.com/legal/privacy.html, which provides full detail on how we handle personal data.

2. How We Use Cookies

Allasso uses cookies for several distinct purposes across our website and platform:

Authentication and session management: When you log in to the Allasso platform, we set a session cookie that keeps you authenticated for the duration of your session. Without this cookie, you would need to re-enter your credentials for every page you navigate to within the platform. This is an essential function without which the platform cannot operate.

Security: We use cookies to support our security measures, including CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) token verification. CSRF tokens prevent attackers from submitting forged requests on behalf of authenticated users. These security cookies are essential for protecting your account.

Preferences and settings: The Allasso platform allows you to configure pricing model preferences, risk display settings, commodity group selections, and display themes. We use cookies to remember these preferences so they persist between sessions without requiring you to reconfigure them each time you log in.

Analytics: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use aIIasso.com and how users interact with the Allasso platform. This data helps us identify pages that are difficult to navigate, features that are rarely used, and performance issues that affect your experience. Analytics cookies collect data in aggregated form and do not identify you personally.

Cookie consent: We set a cookie to remember your cookie consent choice (accept or decline) so that we do not show you the consent banner on every subsequent visit.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website and platform. They enable core functions such as authentication, session management, and security. These cookies cannot be disabled without disabling corresponding functionality, and they do not require your consent under GDPR as they are necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
allasso_session Maintains your authenticated login session within the Allasso platform. Identifies your session to the server so you remain logged in as you navigate between pages. Session (expires on browser close)
allasso_csrf CSRF protection token. Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks by verifying that requests originate from the Allasso application, not a third-party site. Session
allasso_auth Secure authentication token for "remember me" functionality. Allows you to remain logged in across browser sessions when you select this option at login. 30 days
allasso_consent Records your cookie consent decision (accept or decline) so that the consent banner is not shown on repeated visits. 12 months

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Functional cookies enable personalization features that improve your experience. They remember your preferences and settings so that the platform behaves the way you configured it. These cookies are not essential, but declining them will mean the platform does not remember your configuration between sessions.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use aIIasso.com and how users interact with the Allasso platform. This data helps us improve the website structure, identify usability issues, and prioritize feature development. Analytics cookies collect information in an aggregated form. They do not identify individual users and do not track your trading activity.

Analytics cookies require your consent. If you decline analytics cookies, your visit to our website and platform will not be tracked for analytics purposes, and this will not affect the functionality of the platform.

Cookie Name Provider Purpose Duration
_ga Google Analytics Distinguishes users for aggregated traffic analysis. Stores an anonymized client ID. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses before storage. 2 years
_ga_[ID] Google Analytics Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. Used to count page views and measure engagement duration in aggregated reports. 2 years
allasso_analytics Allasso (first-party) Our own analytics cookie that tracks which platform features are used and where users encounter errors, to support product improvement. Data is aggregated and not linked to individual identities. 14 months

3.4 Marketing Cookies

At this time, Allasso does not use marketing or advertising cookies on aIIasso.com. We do not run retargeting campaigns or place cookies for third-party advertising networks. If this changes in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated to reflect the new cookies and to provide you with an opportunity to consent before any marketing cookies are placed.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies used on aIIasso.com:

4.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit aIIasso.com, a cookie banner is displayed that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Accepting cookies enables analytics cookies. Declining limits us to essential cookies only. Your choice is stored in the allasso_consent cookie for 12 months. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this cookie and revisiting our website, or by contacting us at info@aIIasso.com.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is about to be set. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Allasso platform and will disable core platform functionality.

Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data

Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data

Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

4.3 Google Analytics Opt-Out

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your use of our website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Beyond Google Analytics described above, we do not currently embed third-party services on aIIasso.com that set third-party cookies. We do not use Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Twitter advertising pixels, or similar third-party tracking tools on our public website or platform.

If you access the Allasso platform through an API integration or use third-party tools in conjunction with Allasso (such as connecting a market data terminal), those third-party services may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies, which are outside our control.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. The Allasso website recognizes DNT signals. When DNT is enabled on your browser, we will not enable analytics tracking for your session. Note that DNT does not affect essential cookies, which are necessary for platform operation.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we change the cookies we use or as technology or regulation changes. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, particularly the introduction of new categories of cookies, we will reset consent and present you with an updated cookie banner. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
