4. Cookie Settings

Fractal Chart uses browser storage to keep the product usable between sessions. This page explains the categories of cookies and local storage that may be used by the website and workspace.

Essential storage

Essential storage supports core product behavior. This can include local settings such as theme, palette, pane setup, watchlists, saved layouts, strategy drafts, provider mode, and similar workspace preferences.

Disabling or clearing essential storage may reset the workspace and remove locally saved data from the current browser.

Provider and integration storage

If you enter provider settings or API keys in the browser, those values may be stored locally so the workspace can keep working after reloads. You can remove those values from the app or clear site data in your browser.

Use revocable, minimally scoped keys and avoid storing sensitive keys on shared devices.

Analytics and telemetry storage

When telemetry is configured and you allow it, analytics or error-reporting providers may use cookies or local storage to distinguish sessions, apply sampling, and support reliability reporting. Fractal Chart stores a minimal same-site fractal-chart-telemetry-consent cookie containing only granted or denied; same-site server routes use it as a gate and do not treat it as an analytics identifier.

If telemetry is not configured or you do not allow it, optional analytics and telemetry storage is disabled. GPC (Sec-GPC: 1) or DNT overrides a stored grant in both browser and same-site server telemetry.

Managing settings

You can manage storage in these ways:

• Use browser settings to clear cookies and site data for Fractal Chart.
• Remove saved API keys and provider settings inside the app.
• Use the telemetry control whenever telemetry is configured; it remains visible after opt-in and switches between Allow and Disable.
• Use private browsing or a separate browser profile for temporary sessions.

Effect of clearing storage

Clearing site data can remove watchlists, preferences, saved layouts, strategy drafts, AI settings, provider settings, paper-trading state, and telemetry consent from the current browser. It does not remove data held by third-party services you connected to separately.
