Cookie Policy

Effective: 12 April 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember settings, keep you logged in and measure how the site is used. This policy covers cookies on both our marketing site (trase.work) and our web app (app.trase.work).

This cookie policy is prepared in compliance with the EU's ePrivacy Directive and applicable national cookie legislation.

These cookies are necessary for the service to function. They do not require consent.

We do not use marketing or tracking cookies from third parties. No Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag or similar.

6. Chrome Extension and Session Keeper

Trase's Chrome Extension includes a feature called Session Keeper. It is important to understand what it does:

What: Session Keeper reads cookies from vendor portals you visit (e.g. Stripe, Vercel, GitHub) to keep your logins active. This ensures AI Fetcher can retrieve receipts without you having to log in again.
Where: Cookies remain in your browser. They are not synchronised to Trase's servers and never leave your machine.
Why: Without Session Keeper you would need to log in to all portals manually for each retrieval. This is a core feature, not tracking.
Control: You control which portals you visit. Session Keeper only responds to portals you are already logged in to.

Session Keeper cookies are classified as strictly necessary for the service's core function and do not require separate consent.

7. How to manage your cookies

8. Cookie lifetimes
