Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how APFIN uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our AI-powered automated crypto token investing platform at apfin.org. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, which categories we rely on, how long they stay on your device and how you can control them. By continuing to use the platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your preferences through our cookie preference centre.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, remember user preferences and provide analytical information to site operators.

In addition to cookies, APFIN may also use:

• Web beacons (pixel tags): tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails to track whether content was viewed
• Local storage objects: data stored locally in your browser that persists beyond a session
• Session storage: temporary data cleared when the browser tab is closed
• Software development kits (SDKs): used in any mobile interfaces to enable similar tracking functionality

2. Why We Use Cookies

APFIN uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To ensure the platform operates correctly and securely
• To authenticate your identity when you log in
• To remember your preferences and settings
• To analyse how users navigate the platform and improve performance
• To detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential to the core operation of the platform. Without them, key features including account login, security verification and the trading dashboard cannot function. They do not require your prior consent because the platform cannot operate without them. Examples include authentication tokens, session identifiers and security-related cookies.

Functional Cookies: These enable the platform to remember your preferences, such as language, region, display settings and dashboard layout. They require your consent and may be disabled without significantly affecting core features.

Analytical and Performance Cookies: These help us understand how users interact with the platform by collecting aggregated, anonymised data — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long sessions last and where users encounter errors. They are placed only with your consent.

Marketing and Targeting Cookies: These are used to track activity across websites in order to deliver relevant promotional content and measure campaign performance. They are always placed subject to your explicit prior consent, and you may withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie preference centre.

4. Specific Cookies We May Use

The following table provides examples of cookies that may be set when you use the platform. The exact list may change over time as we update our services and third-party tools.

• apfin_session — Strictly necessary — maintains your logged-in session
• apfin_auth — Strictly necessary — stores your secure authentication token
• apfin_csrf — Strictly necessary — protects against cross-site request forgery
• apfin_prefs — Functional — remembers your language and display preferences
• apfin_analytics — Analytical — aggregated usage statistics
• apfin_marketing — Marketing — campaign attribution and remarketing
• apfin_cookie_consent — Strictly necessary — stores your cookie preferences

Third-party cookies may also be set by analytics providers, payment processors, identity verification services or marketing partners. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

5. Cookie Duration

Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser or log out. They are used primarily for authentication and maintaining your active login state.

Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on their purpose. Persistent cookies are used for preferences, analytics and marketing.

6. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by applicable law, including the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, we rely on your consent to place non-essential cookies (functional, analytical and marketing). Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional platform.

You can give, refuse or withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie preference centre, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You may accept, reject or manage cookie preferences at any time via our cookie preference centre or through your browser settings. Guidance for major browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair your ability to log in, access your dashboard or process transactions. Disabling functional, analytical or marketing cookies will not affect the core operation of the platform.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track your activity. Because there is currently no industry-wide standard for interpreting DNT signals, APFIN does not respond to DNT signals at this time. You can still control tracking through your cookie preferences and browser settings.

9. Cookies and Third Parties

Some cookies are placed by third parties that provide services on our behalf, including:

• Analytics providers that help us understand platform usage
• Payment processors and fraud prevention services
• Identity verification and compliance partners
• Marketing and advertising partners

These third parties may combine information collected through cookies with other information you have provided to them. We do not control third-party cookies; please refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your country of residence, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

APFIN reserves the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will communicate them via a refreshed cookie notice on the platform or by email notification. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
