Cookie policy
Last Updated: February 27, 2025

Welcome to Trae. This Cookies Policy applies whenever you use our websites, apps, software and related services (the “Platform”).

When providing the Platform, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies such as software development kits ("SDKs"), pixels and local storage. These technologies allow us to store information or gain access to information stored on your device to enable certain features and distinguish you from other visitors. Tracking technologies are used by most website or app providers to let users navigate between pages efficiently, ensure web security, understand how their websites or apps are used, remember user preferences and generally improve the user experience.

What technologies may be used?

Cookies: Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or app. Cookies enable us and our service providers to uniquely identify your browser or device for various purposes, including those described above. Cookies normally work by assigning a unique number to your device and are stored on your browser by the websites or on the apps that you visit as well as third party service providers to those websites or apps. Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies", meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. Most persistent cookies are set to automatically expire after a defined duration (for example, a few days, weeks or months). When you return to that website or app (or visit other websites or apps that use the same cookies) the website or app provider, or its service providers, can recognise the persistent cookies they have set and recognise your browsing device. SDKs: SDKs are pieces of code that enable data to be collected about your device, network and interaction with a website or app. Like cookies, they generally operate by assigning your device a unique number. Pixels (also called beacons or tags): Pixels are small 1 pixel x 1 pixel invisible image files that are embedded in certain website pages or apps to track user activity. They can be used to collect information about your visit or to record the fact you took an action, for example, uploaded music. When you open a website page or app with an embedded pixel, the page or app will automatically run simple code that downloads the 1x1 image file to your browser or device. At the same time, the code also passes certain information about your device and your actions on the website or app to the server. Your interest in the website or app can then be logged and used for analytics or advertising purposes. Local storage: Local storage files are created by websites or apps to store information locally on your device. They are very similar to cookies, but can have slightly different properties (for example, local storage can be used to store more information and can be stored in a different location on your device to cookies). Local storage is normally used to speed up site functionality and remember your preferences.

Categories of tracking technologies

Tracking technologies can either be “first party” or “third-party”. First-party tracking technologies refers to tracking technologies that we set and use directly. Third-party tracking technologies refer to tracking technologies set by third parties (such as analytics or advertising service providers) through our Platform. The types of tracking technologies used by us and our partners in connection with our Platform can be classified into categories, namely "Strictly necessary"; "Functionality"; "Analytics and Performance"; and "Advertising and Marketing". We have set out some further general information about each of these categories below.

Strictly necessary These tracking technologies are essential to provide you with the Platform and the features you have requested. Because these technologies are essential for our Platform and the features you have requested to work, you cannot decline these tracking technologies. We may use strictly necessary tracking technologies (set by us) for the following essential purposes:

  • Detecting external cyber attack and abnormal behavior of users;
  • User authentication and secure logins; and
  • Ensuring the security and stability of the Platform.

As explained above, these tracking technologies are strictly necessary to operate our Platform and cannot be declined. Examples of strictly necessary cookies used by the Platform

Functionality Functionality tracking technologies record information you enter or choices you make, such as your login details, login status, ID, language preference for the Platform and your cookie consent choice. They help to make the Platform work more efficiently and enable us to tailor our Platform to your preferences. They may be used for the following functionality purposes:

  • Localisation (remembering the country from which you use the Platform and your language preferences); and
  • Check for browser compatability
  • Cookie consent (remembering your cookie consent preferences).

Without these tracking technologies, certain functionality may become unavailable. Examples of functionality cookies used by the Platform

Analytics and performance We use analytics and performance tracking technologies to analyse how you use our Platform, including which pages you view most often, how you interact with the content, measure any errors that occur and test different design ideas. The information is used to report and evaluate your activities and patterns as a user of our Platform. We may use both first-party and third-party tracking technologies for analytics and web optimisation purposes. Examples of Analytics and performance cookies used by the Platform
