Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites visited send to the User’s device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored to be transmitted back to the same websites on subsequent visits. Similar technologies (e.g. local storage, SDKs, pixels) may be used for similar purposes.

The website uses solely technical (strictly necessary) cookies and, subject to consent, analytical and functional cookies. No profiling or behavioural advertising cookies are used.

Strictly necessary cookies enable the website and the Services to function correctly (authentication, user session, security, load balancing, language preferences). They do not require User consent but are listed here for transparency.

• next-auth.session-token / __Secure-next-auth.session-token — user authentication · duration: session or 30 days.
• next-auth.csrf-token — protection against CSRF attacks · duration: session.
• bsfx_locale — selected language preference · duration: 12 months.
• bsfx_consent — storage of consent choices made via the cookie banner · duration: 6 months.

Analytical cookies, where enabled, allow collection in aggregate form of the number of visitors, pages viewed and navigation behaviour, in order to improve the Service. They are installed only upon explicit User consent through the cookie banner.

• Vercel Analytics — aggregated, privacy-friendly traffic analysis · duration: persistent, rotated pseudonymous ID.

The actual list of active analytical cookies may change based on the website’s current configuration; the cookie banner shows the up-to-date list at any time, with the option to withdraw consent on a per-cookie basis.

Some features of the website may involve interaction with third-party services that may independently install their own cookies. In particular:

• Cloudflare — security protection and bot mitigation · technical cookie (__cf_bm) with duration up to 30 minutes.
• Discord — only if the User accesses embed content or signs in via Discord OAuth; cookies are governed by Discord Inc.’s privacy policy.
• Fonts and CDN (Google Fonts, where loaded) — may perform HTTP requests including IP address; the site is configured to minimize such tracking.

BlackSwan FX does not control technologies installed by third parties and invites Users to consult their respective notices.

On first access to the website a banner is shown that allows the User to accept, reject or customize the use of non-technical cookies. The User can change their choices at any time via the "Cookie preferences" panel available at the bottom of each page.

In addition to the choices made via the banner, Users can configure their browser to block, limit or delete already stored cookies. See the support pages of the main browsers:

• Google Chrome — support.google.com/chrome
• Mozilla Firefox — support.mozilla.org
• Apple Safari — support.apple.com/safari
• Microsoft Edge — support.microsoft.com/edge

Please note that disabling technical cookies may prevent some sections of the Service from working.

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically. The version in force, with the effective date, is always available at blackswanfx.it/legal/cookie.
