Our cookies

We set no cookies of our own, and we use no analytics or advertising cookies. There is no sign-in, so there are no login cookies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary security cookie when its protection against attacks and abuse needs one.

Storage in your browser

  • TradingView choice (local storage, sta_tv_show): set only if you choose to always show TradingView tools on this device. The "Turn TradingView tools off" button on this page clears it.
  • Ask Socrates safety notice (session storage): if a message to Ask Socrates mentions a crisis, the guide keeps a small flag so the safety notice stays shown in that tab. It is cleared when you close the tab.

TradingView charts

Some pages offer charts, quotes and news from TradingView, Inc. These are third-party embeds, and they stay off until you choose to show one. When one loads, TradingView may set its own cookies on its own domains, such as _sp_id.*, _sp_ses.* and sp, which TradingView describes as analytics cookies. TradingView's Cookies Policy governs them. You can leave the tools off, clear cookies, or block third-party cookies in your browser.

YouTube videos

Some lessons show a video hosted on YouTube. These videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and load only after you press play: until then the page shows a still image from this site and nothing is requested from YouTube. Once the player loads, YouTube may store cookies or similar data in your browser under Google's Privacy Policy.
