Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 Oct 2026

1. What Are Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies let the site remember information about your visit — your preferences, whether you are signed in, and how you interact with the page — so it can work properly and improve over time.

This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage, pixels, SDKs) Sparkling uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It applies to the marketing site at sparklingaustralia.com and the Sparkling product surfaces.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary

Required for the Service to function. Without them, parts of the site or app will not work. We rely on legitimate interest for these — they cannot be switched off.

  • Session and authentication tokens: Keep you signed in to the Sparkling app while you trade, sign quotes, or review balances.
  • Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), bot abuse, and account takeover.

2.2 Functional

Remember the choices you make so the experience feels consistent across visits.

  • Preferences: Language, currency display, dark/light theme.
  • Recent activity hints: Surface your last-used pairs and chains for faster re-entry.

2.3 Analytics

Help us understand how the site and product are used in aggregate, so we can fix slow pages, broken flows, and confusing copy. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not build cross-site advertising profiles.

  • Pageviews, referrer, viewport size, and approximate location at country level.
  • Anonymised event data — feature usage, error rates, performance metrics.

2.4 Marketing

We do not currently run third-party ad-targeting cookies. If we add them in the future, we will list them here, ask for your consent, and give you the same one-click opt-out as for analytics.

3. Similar Technologies

Local storage and session storage: Used for non-sensitive preferences and temporary UI state (open panels, draft inputs). They are scoped to your browser and never sent to third parties.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages embed content from partners — for example, a Telegram authentication flow, a wallet-provider widget, or an embedded support chat. Those embeds may set their own cookies that we do not control.

5. How to Control Cookies

5.1 In Your Browser

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Some functions of the Service will not work if you block strictly necessary cookies.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we use cookies, in our partners, or in the law. The “Last updated” date at the top will move when we do.
