Cookies & storage
Version 2026-09-30 · Effective 30 September 2026
Applies to: nobscrypto.com.au, including the Terminal at /portal.
We don't use advertising or analytics tracking. We store a few small items in your browser to run the site. Only one is optional.
The website
| Name | Type | What it does | How long | Your choice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
nobs190-consent | Browser storage (local) | Your storage choice, the notice version and when you chose | Until you change it or clear your browser. We ask again after 6 months, or when this notice changes | Always on: it remembers your choice |
nobs190-launch-seen | Browser storage (this tab) | Remembers that the launch card was shown in this tab | Until you close the tab | Always on |
nobs-auth-email | Browser storage (this tab) | Your email between the two sign-in steps, so it never appears in the page address | Until your code is checked, or you close the tab | Always on |
nobs-code-sends:auth, nobs-code-sends:membership | Browser storage (this tab) | When you asked for a code in this tab (never your address), so Resend can show when the next code is allowed | Until you close the tab | Always on |
nobs-code-wait:auth, nobs-code-wait:membership | Browser storage (this tab) | When the next code may be sent, after a limit | Until you close the tab | Always on |
sb-mjnwjxaodgzcxdyexwve-auth-token | Browser storage (local) | Keeps you signed in, on the website and in the Terminal | Until you sign out | Always on: needed to sign you in |
nobs_ref | First-party cookie | Referral counting: a random visitor ID and an end time, never the referral code, so the member who referred you gets credit | 30 days | Optional. Set only if you choose "Allow referral counting" |
Referral counting, in full. If you allow it and arrive through a member's referral link, we also record the visit on our servers: the visitor ID, the member's code, the time and the page you landed on. We don't record your IP address, browser details or the page you came from. If you then create an account, it's linked to that visit, so the member who referred you gets credit.
The Terminal (/portal)
The Terminal stores, in your browser:
- your sign-in session (the same one as above);
- your settings, such as currency, tax rate, goals and layout;
- copies of market data and your recent research, so pages load faster;
- markers such as "this tip was already shown".
It uses these only to run the Terminal for you. It sets no cookies, and it runs no advertising or analytics tracking.
Other services
- Stripe sets its own cookies on checkout pages, to process payments securely and prevent fraud, when you open a checkout.
- Circle runs the community on circle.so, under Circle's own cookie policy.
- Links to YouTube and X are plain links, not embeds, so they set nothing until you follow them.
- Our fonts are hosted by us.
Your choice
By default, we store only what's needed to run the site. To allow referral counting, choose "Allow referral counting" in the banner, or in Storage settings in the footer. You can change your mind at any time. If you switch back to essential only, we delete nobs_ref.
Changes
If we add anything to these lists, we update this page, and we ask you again before setting anything optional.
