Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Binnie Trading (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies, local storage, and similar digital technologies on our website and commercial trade portal. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you browse web pages. They enable websites to function efficiently, maintain session security, remember user preferences, and provide operational performance diagnostics to platform administrators.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Binnie Trading utilizes cookies strictly for essential technical operation, security integrity, and functional performance. We categorize them as follows:

  • Strictly Necessary & Essential Cookies: These cookies are indispensable for the core operation of our trade platform. They facilitate secure user authentication, prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), manage encrypted sessions, and process B2B enquiry submissions. These cookies do not require prior consent under UK law as the site cannot function without them.
  • Functional & Preference Cookies: These enable the site to remember your specific settings and interactions, such as policy modal status, UI preferences, and form state retention across multi-stage enquiry submissions.
  • Security & Anti-Abuse Cookies: Used to protect our trade desk from automated bot submissions, spam attacks, and unauthorized access attempts.
  • Performance & Operational Analytics: We may use aggregate, non-identifying telemetry cookies to monitor server response times, resource load speeds, and page health. These analytics contain no personally identifiable commercial profiles.

3. Third-Party Services & Technologies

We do not allow third-party behavioral ad trackers or advertising brokers to place tracking cookies through our site. Any third-party scripts loaded (such as security firewalls, CDN asset delivery, or typography font services) operate strictly under technical data processing agreements compliant with UK GDPR.

4. Cookie Duration & Expiry

  • Session Cookies: Temporary files that automatically expire and are deleted once you close your web browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain stored on your device for a predetermined period (typically ranging from 30 days up to 12 months) or until you manually clear your browser cache, allowing the site to recognize your preferences upon return.

5. How You Can Control & Manage Cookies

You have full control over cookie storage through your web browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies:

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