Cookie Policy

What are cookies, and why am I seeing this notice?

You land on a review page, and a small banner or notice mentions cookies. A cookie is a tiny text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It holds a short piece of information, such as a setting or a random identifier, and the browser sends it back to the site the next time you load a page. Cookies are not programs, they cannot open files or install software, and they are not a way of contacting you.

This site is an independent editorial resource. We review the broker FXCM for readers in Nigeria. We are not the broker, we are not affiliated with it, and we do not offer financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. Because the site is a publication rather than a service, the cookies here are modest in number and purpose, and this page explains them in plain terms.

Which cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work?

A small set of cookies is needed for the site to function at all. They keep a page loading correctly, remember choices you have already made about the cookie notice so you are not asked again on every visit, and help protect the site against misuse. Without these, pages may break or behave unpredictably.

Strictly necessary cookies are not used to build a profile of you or to serve advertising. They are set because the site cannot reasonably operate without them, and they are treated as part of providing the site to you.

We do not use these cookies to collect contact details, and we do not sell anything through them. They exist to keep the publication running and readable.

What do you measure, and which cookies do that?

Measurement and analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used in aggregate. They may record which pages are read, how long a visit lasts, roughly where in the world a reader is, and which links are followed. This tells us which reviews are useful and where the layout or the wording needs work.

The information is used in summary form to improve the site. It is not used to identify you personally, and we do not combine it with other data to single you out. Analytics cookies are optional: if you block them, the site still works, and you simply contribute less to our statistics.

We keep the amount of measurement limited to what is genuinely helpful for a small editorial site, rather than tracking every click.

Are there cookies from third parties?

Some cookies may be set by parties other than this site. This happens when a page includes something hosted elsewhere, for example a measurement service, a font or script delivered from another domain, or a video or social sharing element. Those parties set their own cookies and control what is stored.

We do not control third-party cookies and cannot read them. Their use is governed by the privacy and cookie notices of the companies that set them, which you can review on their own sites.

Where a third-party element is optional, it is our aim to keep it from loading until you have agreed to it, so that the default state of the site is the lighter one.

How do I control or delete cookies, and how will changes to this list reach me?

You control cookies through your browser. Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, block them for specific sites or block them entirely, and set preferences so that you are asked before a cookie is saved. The help pages of your browser explain where these controls sit. Blocking all cookies may affect how parts of this site behave.

We may update this page when the cookies we use change. The current version is always the one published here, and the date of the latest revision appears with it. We do not send individual notices about cookie changes, so if you want to stay informed, check this page from time to time.

If you have a question about this policy, use the contact form on this site. We cannot give advice on brokers, accounts or trading, and we do not handle deposits or open accounts for anyone.
