1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, to remember choices you make, and to provide information to the website operator about how the site is used.
2. Who Sets These Cookies
Monaco Trade Forum is operated by the Event Organiser, an entity operating under the laws of Romania. For any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact desk@monacotradeforum.com.
3. Cookies Set Directly by This Website
This website does not use cookies for advertising or profiling. The only cookies set directly by monacotradeforum.com are set by Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors engage with the site.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Persists session state for GA4 reporting | Up to 2 years |
Further detail on how Google processes this data is available in Google's own cookie documentation.
We also use your browser's local storage (not a cookie, but a similar on-device technology) to remember whether you have accepted or declined analytics cookies, so that the cookie banner is not shown again on your next visit.
4. Third-Party Embedded Content
Some pages on this website embed live content from third-party providers, which may set their own cookies or use similar technologies independently of this website:
| Provider | Used on | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| TradingView | Homepage, Markets | Embedded market-price ticker widget, loaded in an iframe from TradingView's own domain. TradingView may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. |
| Frankfurter / European Central Bank | Tools | Live currency exchange rate data, retrieved directly by your browser. No cookie is set by this request. |
| WeatherAPI | Tools | Live port weather data, retrieved directly by your browser. No cookie is set by this request. |
| OpenStreetMap / Leaflet | Tools | Interactive map tiles for the maritime & ports tool. No cookie is set by this request. |
| Esri (ArcGIS) | Tools | Port and maritime reference data, retrieved directly by your browser. No cookie is set by this request. |
Because these are third-party services, Monaco Trade Forum does not control what cookies, if any, they set, and this Cookie Policy does not cover their practices. Where a provider sets its own cookies, please refer to that provider's own cookie or privacy policy for detail. TradingView's terms and policies are available at tradingview.com/policies.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and revisiting, or by adjusting your browser settings to block cookies generally. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set — instructions vary by browser and are available in each browser's help documentation.
