Cookie Policy
INTRODUCTION
This policy categorizes cookies based on their functions and purposes. The following four categories of cookies have been identified:
- Strictly necessary cookies
- Performance cookies
- Functionality cookies
- Targeting or advertising cookies
Cookies are also classified according to their duration: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and stored in the browser’s subfolder while the user is on a website. These cookies are deleted once the user leaves the site. In contrast, persistent cookies remain in the browser’s subfolder and are reactivated when the user revisits the website that created them. The duration of persistent cookies depends on the expiration period set within the cookie file.
Cookies are automatically stored in the browser’s memory and typically contain:
- The name of the server that sent the cookie
- The cookie’s lifespan
- A unique value, usually a randomly generated number
The website server that sent the cookie uses this value to recognize the user upon their return to the site or when navigating between pages. Only the server that set the cookie can read and use it.
Cookies are essentially text strings that a website sends to your browser, allowing the website to remember who you are. A cookie typically contains the domain name from which it originated, the cookie’s expiration date, and a unique randomly generated number.
There are two main types of cookies used by most websites:
- Session cookies: These are temporary and remain in the browser’s cookie file only while the user is on the site.
- Persistent cookies: These remain in the cookie file for a longer period, depending on the cookie’s set duration.
Cookies help websites adapt their content to better match the user’s preferences, providing a more personalized browsing experience.
COOKIES EXPLAINED
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer by a website you visit. They allow you to perform certain functions on the site and tailor its content to your preferences. Cookies may store data for pages where you’ve provided key information (such as when you enter a password), but only after you’ve given consent to store that information. Cookies may be used on some pages of the site to provide a customized browsing experience, but they do not collect personally identifiable information of users merely visiting the site.
TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
-
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that are deleted once you close your browser. They help retain information as you navigate through the website. You can decline session cookies via your browser’s privacy settings, but this may negatively impact your browsing experience, especially if you block them across all websites. -
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies can be temporary or persistent and are used to track how long you use our website and how you interact with it. While they don’t capture personally identifiable information, they help us enhance the user experience by improving how we present content. You can opt out of analytical cookies through your browser’s privacy settings. -
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies store your preferences to create a more seamless experience across the website. For instance, they remember your language selection each time you visit. You can manage or opt out of functional cookies through your browser’s privacy settings. -
Third-Party Cookies
These cookies are used by external services, often by social media platforms like Google+, Facebook, or YouTube. Third-party cookies allow you to share our content easily across social media and view videos posted on YouTube. Disabling these cookies through your browser settings will also disable those functions.
WHY WE USE COOKIES
As mentioned, we use cookies to ensure the optimal functionality of our website and to tailor content to your preferences. As a regulated broker, we assure you that any personal information we collect will not be shared with third parties without your consent.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more detailed information on how we handle your data. If you have any questions, feel free to Contact Us.
