Cookie Policy

We are one of a few brokers who follow the strictest principles regarding cookies. We respect your privacy and we are committed to ensuring that you are adequately informed on how you can manage your consent.

What are cookies?

For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies — which are small text files — on its users’ computers, tablets or mobile devices. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users on subsequent visits, or to authorise other designated websites to recognise these users for a particular purpose.

Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the Internet much smoother and more interactive. For instance, they are used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to remember your user ID and the contents of your shopping baskets, and to help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help to ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve user experience.

Some websites may also use web beacons (also known as pixels or tags) to collect information, which are embedded in images. Web beacons only collect limited information, including a cookie number, a timestamp, and a record of the page on which they are placed. Websites may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers. These beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to track the effectiveness of a particular campaign (for example by counting the number of visitors).

Information collected by cookies is now classified as personal data.

How do we use cookies?

We use cookies for many purposes. We use them, for example, to store your authorization sessions, to count how many visitors we receive to a page, to help you sign up for our services, to protect your data, or to remember your language preferences. Using cookies we can analyse how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. These allow us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise.

You can see the list of the types of cookies used by us below.

Type of cookies we use

Strictly Necessary Cookies — these cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but in this case the website will not work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance Cookies — also known as “statistics cookies”, these cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional Cookies — also known as “preferences cookies”, these cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, for example, they allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting Cookies — these cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store personal information directly, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow the use of these cookies, you will still see our advertisements on other resources, but they will be less targeted.
Social Media Cookies — these cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. These may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
