Cookies & storage policy
The technologies used for sign-in, quote progress, security and optional preferences, with controls for this browser.
Updated · Version 1.1 · FindXTrade
1. What this policy covers
Cookies are small pieces of browser data. Similar rules can apply to local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, scripts and other technologies that store or access information on a device. This policy covers FindXTrade’s own application and identifies relevant external security/identity services. It should be read with our Privacy policy.
We use necessary storage to deliver requested sign-in, quote saving and secure form functions. Optional persistent appearance and regional preferences are off until you allow them in Cookie settings. You can use the shipping workspace without allowing optional preference storage. No advertising or audience-analytics tags are enabled by this policy.
2. Necessary technologies
Necessary does not mean that every technology a provider could set is enabled. The entries below describe our application; external identity and security services can use their own technical storage for the requested authentication or anti-abuse step.
| Technology / identifier | Purpose | Duration or removal |
|---|---|---|
| __Host-fxt_customer | Secure customer sign-in session; protected from normal JavaScript access. | Normally 12 hours; up to seven days if remembered sign-in is requested. Sign out to end the site session. |
| __Host-fxt_signin | Protects the in-progress email verification/sign-in flow. | Up to ten minutes, or completion/failure of the flow. |
| findxtrade-workspaces (IndexedDB) | Saves your requested guest/account quote draft, including file-preview rows and recovery copies, on this browser. | Persists until replaced or removed. Reset quote clears the current working draft; browser site-data controls remove the wider stored database. |
| findxtrade-signin-workspace; findxtrade-account-selection; account import handoff (session storage) | Transfers the requested draft or selected records between sign-in/account and workspace pages. | Consumed after the handoff or removed when the tab/session ends; prepared account imports also have a short validity check. |
| findxtrade-storage-choices-v1 | Remembers whether optional preference storage is allowed, and the policy version/date of that choice. | Optional permission is valid for up to 180 days. The choice record stays until changed or removed with browser site data; expired permission does not enable optional storage. |
| Microsoft identity and Cloudflare security technologies | Authenticate the requested account, keep the connection secure and reduce automated abuse. Turnstile is used on the configured contact form. | Provider-controlled, depending on the security or sign-in flow. See the linked provider information. |
3. Optional preferences
With your permission, findxtrade-regional-preferences-v1 remembers your selected country, language and currency; findxtrade-theme remembers light/dark mode; and findxtrade-color-themes-v1 remembers your colour palettes. These are first-party browser settings used to personalise the interface, not advertising profiles. They remain until you remove them or withdraw permission. Once permission expires, they are not read or updated without a new allowance.
When optional storage is off, you can still change the appearance and regional controls during the current visit; those choices are held in memory and may reset on a page reload. Choosing “Use necessary storage only” removes the application’s optional preference records from this browser. It does not sign you out or delete your shipments. Your permission is specific to this browser and website origin, so another device or domain may have a different choice.
4. Manage your choices
Use the Cookie settings controls on this page at any time. Allowing preferences is optional, and changing your mind is as straightforward as allowing them. The site stores a small record of your choice so it can respect it. We do not infer permission from scrolling, silence or ordinary browsing.
Browser settings can also block or remove site data. Removing necessary storage can sign you out, remove local drafts or prevent a security step from working. Before clearing a shared device, download any records you need and sign out. Clearing local storage does not by itself delete server-side account records. Contact us if you want those records removed.
If we later introduce analytics, advertising or another optional purpose, we must disclose its providers, purpose and storage details and obtain any legally required permission before activation. A future feature cannot rely on your permission for appearance preferences. No marketing permission is granted through these controls.
