Cookie Policy — TradeAndCompound
Last updated: July 24, 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. Local storage and session storage are similar browser technologies that store data in your browser rather than in cookie files.
We categorize cookies as essential (required for the site to function) and non-essential (used for advertising and analytics, requiring your consent).
Your Consent
When you first visit TradeAndCompound, a cookie consent banner appears. You can:
- Accept — Non-essential cookies (Google AdSense) will load. Advertisements may be personalized based on your browsing history.
- Reject — Only essential storage is used. No advertising cookies are set. Ads may still appear but will not be personalized.
Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key
tac-consent and persists across visits. You can change your
choice at any time by clearing your browser data or using the consent
banner (which reappears if consent is not found).
Essential Cookies
These do not require consent. They are necessary for the site to function.
localStorage rather than cookies
for our own data. The table below reflects all browser storage we set.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tac-consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice (accept/reject) | Until cleared |
Non-Essential Cookies (Advertising)
These are set by Google AdSense and its partners. They only load after you accept non-essential cookies via the consent banner.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__gads | Ad serving, measurement, and attribution | 13 months | |
IDE | Google (DoubleClick) | Personalized advertising, user targeting | 2 years |
NID | Ad personalization, frequency capping | 6 months | |
__gpi | Ad personalization across sites | 13 months | |
ANID | Ad frequency and personalization | 13 months |
Google may set additional cookies as part of its ad-serving process. For the most current and complete list, see Google's cookie types page.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage for:
-
tac-consent— Your consent choice (essential) - Calculator state — Values you enter in the compound calculator are reflected in the URL querystring, not in localStorage. They never leave your device unless you share the URL.
Managing Cookies
On this site
Use the cookie consent banner to accept or reject non-essential cookies. To
reset your choice, clear tac-consent from your browser's local
storage (Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage →
tradeandcompound.com → delete tac-consent).
