Cookie and Local Storage Policy

This policy explains how xmtradingapp.org uses cookies, localStorage and third-party resources to remember language, banner choices and other site preferences. It applies only to this site, not to xm.com, XM Profile, MT4, MT5, XM App or other environments operated by XM entities or third parties.

1. Scope

This policy applies to cookies, localStorage and browser-side preferences used by xmtradingapp.org and its English and Chinese pages. The cookie banner records how you handle the storage choices made available on this site.

xm.com, XM Profile, MT4, MT5, XM App, MetaTrader WebTrader and app stores are separate technical and legal environments. This policy must not be used to infer which cookies, identifiers or tracking technologies those services use.

For personal information, contact-form data and website processing practices, read the Privacy Policy. For leverage, margin and trading-loss risks, read the Risk Disclosure.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

A cookie is a small data file stored by a browser for a website. Cookies can support sessions, remember settings or record site state, depending on how the website is configured.

localStorage is a browser key-value storage mechanism that can also preserve site preferences. It differs from a traditional cookie in how data is stored and transmitted. This site currently uses browser storage to remember banner choices and selected interface preferences.

Cookies and localStorage are not trading-account credentials. The relevant questions are what is stored, why it is stored, whether a third party can access it, how long it remains and how the user can manage or remove it.

3. Storage Used by This Site

The browser-side storage described by this site is used mainly for interface and preference management. It is not used to store XM trading-account balances, positions, KYC documents or payment credentials.

  • Cookie-banner state: remembers whether you have already handled the site’s cookie preference options.
  • Language and interface preference: preserves selected display choices between English and Simplified Chinese where supported.
  • Browser cache: styles, scripts, fonts and images may be cached by the browser to reduce repeated downloads.

The contact form is a site interaction and is not an XM client-support, trading-account or Members Area channel. Browser storage on this site does not turn a submitted message into an XM support ticket.

4. Necessary Storage

Why necessary storage is used

Necessary storage supports basic site preferences such as banner state and selected interface settings. It does not perform trading-account login, funding, order execution or KYC verification.

What happens if it is cleared or blocked

Clearing site data can reset language or banner choices and may cause the cookie banner to appear again. That affects this site’s browsing experience only; it does not alter XM Profile, MT4, MT5 or any trading permission.

5. Preferences and Optional Features

The site banner currently offers choices such as accepting all or keeping necessary items only. This policy does not state that independent advertising, remarketing or behavioural-analytics cookies are currently enabled on xmtradingapp.org.

If analytics, advertising, embedded media or other features that require additional storage are introduced later, this policy should be updated to identify the service, purpose, storage method, relevant third party and available user controls.

Keeping only necessary items should not prevent normal access to the site’s public content. If a future optional feature depends on additional cookies, that dependency should be distinguished from necessary storage.

6. Third-Party Resources and External Sites

This site requests font files from Google Fonts. When those resources load, the browser communicates directly with the third-party service. Any logging of requests, device information or network data by that provider is governed by its own policies.

Social links, download links and other external destinations open separate websites or applications. Those services may use their own cookies, local storage, device identifiers or login sessions, which are not controlled by this policy.

xm.com, XM Profile, MetaTrader WebTrader, MT4, MT5, XM App and app stores may use authentication, cookies or device storage that differs from this site. Those environments are outside the scope of this policy.

7. Retention

Preferences stored locally in the browser generally remain until you clear site data, change browser profile, use a private session that ends, or the site changes its storage logic. This policy does not describe a separate server-side user profile for those preferences.

Browser caching of styles, scripts, images and fonts is governed by browser behaviour and resource cache settings. Clearing the cache may cause resources to download again, but it does not create or remove an XM trading account.

Different devices and browser profiles maintain separate local storage. Cookie and preference choices made on one phone, computer or browser do not automatically transfer to another.

8. Managing and Deleting Cookies and Site Data

  • On first visit: use the cookie banner to handle the storage choices made available by this site.
  • To change a choice later: remove xmtradingapp.org cookies or site data in your browser settings and reload the page.
  • At browser level: third-party cookies can usually be limited or blocked, although this may affect external services or embedded content.
  • For temporary browsing: private or incognito windows generally remove most temporary site data when the session ends, subject to browser behaviour.

This site does not delete cookies “by XM account” because its cookie preferences are not bound to XM Profile or MetaTrader accounts. Cookie and device controls in XM client environments must be managed through the policies and settings of those services.

9. Relationship with the Privacy Policy

This policy explains browser-side storage, its purpose, third-party resources and user controls. The Privacy Policy covers personal information the site may encounter, why it is processed, how it may be retained and where responsibility for that processing sits.

A name, email address or message typed into a contact form is user-submitted information rather than a cookie. Its handling should be assessed under the Privacy Policy, not only through cookie-banner settings.

10. Policy Updates

If the site later adds analytics, advertising technology, embedded media, authentication or other functionality that changes browser storage, this policy should be updated so that storage types, purposes, third parties and controls match the site’s actual behaviour.

Updates to cookies or tracking practices on xm.com or another XM entity’s website do not automatically change this policy. Those services publish and control their own cookie and privacy documents.

11. XM Environments and Related Documents

Related site documents include the Privacy Policy, Risk Disclosure and Contact page. For questions about this site’s banner or browser storage, describe the browser, device and steps already tried without sending passwords, OTPs or sensitive account credentials.

XM currently publishes a separate cookie policy for xm.com that covers functional, analytical, promotional and preference cookies, including Members Area and advertising-related uses. Those rules apply to XM’s own website environment and are not part of this site’s policy.
