Cookie Policy

Last updated: 21 June 2026

This page lists every cookie set by TradesMate UK and what each one does. We use only strictly-necessary cookies, so under UK PECR we do not require a separate cookie consent banner — but we publish this policy in the interests of transparency.

1. What we use

Name	Purpose	Lifetime	Type
access_token	Keeps you signed in (JWT, HTTP-only, Secure)	60 minutes	Strictly necessary
refresh_token	Refreshes your session without re-login	7 days	Strictly necessary
tm-cookie-notice	Remembers you dismissed our cookie notice (localStorage)	12 months	Strictly necessary

2. Third-party cookies

Stripe Checkout may set its own cookies on the Stripe-hosted billing pages — those are governed by Stripe's cookie policy. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or any other ad-tech trackers on our own site.

3. Managing cookies

You can clear cookies any time via your browser settings. Disabling our strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and prevent you from using authenticated features.
