This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies Quant Geeks LLC ("QuantGeeks", "we", "us") uses on the QuantGeeks console and website (the "Service"), and the choices you have. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Similar technologies do the same job in other ways: browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) keeps settings on your device, and scripts from other companies can set cookies of their own. Some are strictly necessary for the Service to work or stay secure, some remember preferences you set, and some are used for marketing. Strictly necessary and preference storage does not need your consent; marketing cookies do, and we set them only if you accept. We do not run analytics of our own. The Financial Juice news widget, which loads only if you choose to show it, runs Google Analytics inside its own frame (see below).
This is everything the Service stores on your device.
| Name | Set by | Type | Lifetime | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| __Host-qg_session | QuantGeeks (our server) | Cookie, HttpOnly | 3 days | Keeps you signed in. | Strictly necessary |
| qg_oauth | QuantGeeks (our server) | Cookie, HttpOnly | 10 minutes | Secures sign-in with Discord, Google, GitHub or X. | Strictly necessary |
| qg_return | QuantGeeks (our server) | Cookie, HttpOnly | 10 minutes | Remembers which page sent you to sign in (today only the page that connects an AI assistant to your account), so you land back on it afterward. | Strictly necessary |
| qg_signed_in | QuantGeeks (our server) | Cookie | 3 days | Tells the page you have a session, so a signed-out visit makes no calls to our server. | Strictly necessary |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare (our network edge) | Cookie, HttpOnly | 30 minutes | Tells people from bots, to protect the Service. | Strictly necessary |
| Turnstile | Cloudflare (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Script challenge | Per challenge | Stops automated sign-ups on the sign-in page. | Strictly necessary |
| qg_consent | QuantGeeks | Cookie | 6 months | Remembers your cookie choice. | Strictly necessary |
| qg.* and chart_* keys | QuantGeeks (the console) | Browser storage | Until you clear it; chat lines 48 hours; session storage ends with the tab | Remembers how you set up the console: layout, display settings, chart and map views, chat dock, pinned items, flow window, demo tier, the add-to-home-screen prompt, whether you chose to show the Financial Juice widget, recent chat lines, and a short log of console errors that stays on your device. | Preferences |
| ASP.NET_SessionId silp_visitorid Google Analytics | Financial Juice (feed.financialjuice.com), with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager inside its frame | Third-party cookie, browser storage and analytics | Session; silp_visitorid until cleared | Run by the news widget. silp_visitorid is a persistent visitor id Financial Juice uses for its Google Analytics. Nothing from Financial Juice loads until you choose Show Financial Juice in the news tile; Turn off Financial Juice stops it again. | Third-party content: only when you choose it |
| trakdesk_cid | Trackdesk (quantgeeks.trackdesk.com) | Cookie | 1 month | Credits the affiliate whose link brought you here. | Marketing: only with your consent |
| qg_ref | QuantGeeks | Cookie | 90 days | Records the referral code of the link that brought you here. | Marketing: only with your consent |
On your first visit a banner asks whether you accept marketing cookies. Accept and Reject are equal choices, and nothing marketing-related runs until you choose Accept. You can change your mind at any time from Cookie settings, linked in the footer of every page; turning marketing off deletes the two marketing cookies. We honour the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, marketing cookies stay off and we do not show the banner. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the Service needs the strictly necessary ones to sign you in.
If you reject, an affiliate who referred you can still be credited through a promotion code they gave you, which you enter yourself at checkout.
These companies set or read the technologies above under their own policies: Cloudflare (network protection and the sign-in challenge), Trackdesk (affiliate attribution, only with your consent; it may load a click-fraud check from Anura), Financial Juice (the news widget, only when you choose to show it, and the Google Analytics it runs), Google Fonts (the typefaces, which your browser fetches from Google, so Google receives your IP address), and Stripe, whose Checkout runs on Stripe's own domain when you pay.
