Fractal Chart uses browser storage to keep the product usable between sessions. This page explains the categories of cookies and local storage that may be used by the website and workspace.
Essential storage
Essential storage supports core product behavior. This can include local settings such as theme, palette, pane setup, watchlists, saved layouts, strategy drafts, provider mode, and similar workspace preferences.
Disabling or clearing essential storage may reset the workspace and remove locally saved data from the current browser.
Provider and integration storage
If you enter provider settings or API keys in the browser, those values may be stored locally so the workspace can keep working after reloads. You can remove those values from the app or clear site data in your browser.
Use revocable, minimally scoped keys and avoid storing sensitive keys on shared devices.
Analytics and telemetry storage
When telemetry is configured and you allow it, analytics or error-reporting providers may use cookies or local storage to distinguish sessions, apply sampling, record consent, and support reliability reporting.
If telemetry is not configured or you do not allow it, optional analytics and telemetry storage should not be used by the client.
Managing settings
You can manage storage in these ways:
- Use browser settings to clear cookies and site data for Fractal Chart.
- Remove saved API keys and provider settings inside the app.
- Use the telemetry control when it is available.
- Use private browsing or a separate browser profile for temporary sessions.
Effect of clearing storage
Clearing site data can remove watchlists, preferences, saved layouts, strategy drafts, AI settings, provider settings, and telemetry consent from the current browser. It does not remove data held by third-party services you connected to separately.
