Cookie Policy
Effective Date: 1 January 2026 · Entity: AlphaEdge Partners Limited
1. Introduction
AlphaEdge Partners Limited ("AlphaEdge", "we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (alphaedgepartners.com) and associated platforms (collectively, the "Platform"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read together with our Terms & Conditions. By continuing to use our Platform, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy, except where you have configured your browser to reject them.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They contain information that allows the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, login status, and the pages you have viewed.
Cookies are not harmful. They do not contain viruses, malware, or executable code. They cannot access your hard drive or retrieve personal information that you have not already provided. Think of cookies as a "digital memory" that helps websites deliver a smoother, more personalised experience.
There are two main types of cookies:
- Session cookies — These are temporary cookies that exist only while you are browsing the website. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies help with essential functions like keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent cookies — These remain on your device after you close your browser, for a set period of time (from a few days to several years). They allow us to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, making your experience faster and more convenient.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving your experience and ensuring the Platform operates securely and efficiently. Below is a detailed breakdown of how we use cookies:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Platform. Without them, certain features — such as logging into your account, navigating between pages, and accessing secure areas — would not work. We do not require your consent for these cookies because they are necessary to provide the service you have requested.
- Session management — Maintains your login session so you remain authenticated as you move through the Platform.
- Security and fraud prevention — Helps detect and prevent malicious activity, unauthorised access, and fraud.
- Load balancing — Distributes traffic across our servers to maintain performance and availability.
3.2 Preference / Functionality Cookies
These cookies remember choices you have made — such as your language preference, display settings, and selected membership tier — so we can tailor the Platform to your preferences on future visits.
- Remembering your chosen currency and timezone.
- Storing your dashboard layout preferences.
- Remembering your recent activity and viewed pages.
3.3 Performance / Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Platform — which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and whether errors occur. This information is aggregated and anonymised, meaning we cannot identify individual users. It helps us improve the Platform, fix issues, and make data-driven decisions.
- Tracking page views, session duration, and user journeys.
- Identifying broken links or performance bottlenecks.
- Measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
We use industry-standard analytics tools such as Google Analytics. These tools may place their own cookies on your device. Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
We do not currently serve personalised advertisements or use third-party advertising networks that track your behaviour across different websites. Our use of cookies is limited to essential functionality, preferences, and analytics. Should we decide to implement advertising cookies in the future, we will update this policy and seek your explicit consent before doing so.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some of the services integrated into our Platform may place cookies on your device. These third-party providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:
- Google Analytics — Helps us analyse website traffic and user behaviour. Google's cookie policy.
- Cloudflare — Provides security and performance optimisation. Cloudflare's cookie policy.
- YouTube / Vimeo — Used for embedded video content. YouTube's cookie policy.
- TradingView Widgets — Used to display market data and charts. TradingView's privacy policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers. We are not responsible for their data processing practices, but we strive to work only with providers who maintain high standards of data protection.
5. Your Choices — Managing Cookies
You have full control over cookies. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored on your device.
How to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox — Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data.
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Opera — Settings → Advanced → Privacy & Security → Site Settings → Cookies.
You can also use browser extensions or privacy tools such as Ghostery or DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials to manage tracking across multiple websites.
Important: If you disable essential cookies, certain features of our Platform may not work properly. You may not be able to log in, view your dashboard, or complete transactions. We recommend that you do not disable essential cookies unless you are prepared to accept these limitations.
6. Consent and Legal Basis
In accordance with applicable data protection laws — including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 — we rely on the following legal bases for processing data via cookies:
- Legitimate interest — For strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the operation of our Platform (e.g., session management, security). These do not require your consent.
- Consent — For non-essential cookies such as performance/analytics and preference cookies. We seek your explicit consent before placing these cookies, typically through a cookie banner on your first visit.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the cookie management tools available on our Platform. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
