POE Portfolio Pricing Extension

Effective: March 23, 2026

Overview

The POE Portfolio Pricing Chrome extension helps price your Path of Exile 2 build by sending Trade API queries from your own browser, bypassing server queues and using your own rate limit budget. This page explains exactly what data the extension accesses, what it stores, and what it never does.

The short version: the extension is privacy-preserving by design. It reads no personal data, stores no account information, and your pathofexile.com session cookie never leaves your browser.

What Data We Access

The extension makes HTTP requests to https://www.pathofexile.com/api/trade2/ using optional host permissions that you grant when you first use the extension.

  • Trade search requests — queries sent by poeportfolio.com (the website you're visiting) are relayed through the extension to the Trade API. These contain item stat filters only — no personal information.
  • Trade fetch results — listing prices returned by the Trade API are passed back to poeportfolio.com so your build can be valued.

The extension does not access your POE account, your characters, your inventory, or any part of the GGG OAuth API. It only interacts with the public Trade API.

Session Cookies and POESESSID

The extension has an optional Weight Filters toggle in its popup. When enabled, Trade API requests are sent with credentials: "include", which tells the browser to attach any existing pathofexile.com cookies to the request — including your POESESSID session cookie if you're logged in.

The extension never reads, stores, or transmits the POESESSID value. The cookie is handled entirely by the browser's built-in cookie mechanism. The extension code never has access to the cookie's value — the browser attaches it automatically and the Trade API reads it server-side.

If you do not have an active pathofexile.com session (you're not logged in), the weight filters feature will silently have no effect. No error is shown, no data is sent.

Data Storage

The only data written to chrome.storage.local is:

  • queryCount — an integer counting how many Trade API queries the extension has handled. Displayed in the popup as a usage counter. Never transmitted to any server.
  • weightFilters — a boolean (true/false) indicating whether the Weight Filters toggle is on or off. Default: false.

No account information, no session tokens, no item data, and no personal information of any kind is stored by the extension.

Third-Party Services

The extension communicates with two external services:

  • pathofexile.com Trade API — requests contain only Trade search queries (item type, stat filters). No personal data is included. These requests go directly from your browser to GGG's servers. See GGG's Privacy Policy for how GGG handles these requests.
  • poeportfolio.com — the extension receives queries from poeportfolio.com (via externally_connectable) and sends back Trade API results. The website's privacy practices are covered by the poeportfolio.com privacy policy.
