This Cookies Policy explains how Forex-Ratings.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit, browse or interact with our website.
Cookies and related technologies help us operate the website, maintain essential functionality, remember user preferences, understand how visitors interact with our content, improve website performance, protect our services from abuse and, where applicable, provide advertising and measure its effectiveness.
We believe that users should understand what technologies may be used on their devices and should have appropriate control over non essential cookies.
Depending on your location and applicable law, certain cookies may be placed automatically because they are necessary for the operation, security or functionality of the website. Other cookies, including certain analytics, advertising or personalization cookies, may require your consent before they are activated.
Where consent is required, Forex-Ratings.com will provide an appropriate mechanism allowing you to accept, reject or manage relevant cookie categories.
This Cookies Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other applicable legal notices.
Cookies are small data files that websites can place on a user's computer, smartphone, tablet or other internet connected device.
When a website is visited, the browser may store information contained in a cookie and return that information to the relevant server during subsequent visits or interactions.
Cookies can perform many different functions.
For example, they can help a website remember whether a user is logged in, retain language or display preferences, maintain security settings, measure website traffic, identify technical problems and understand how visitors navigate between pages.
Cookies can also be used to measure advertising performance and, where permitted, help provide advertising that is more relevant to particular audiences.
A cookie is not a computer program. It cannot independently execute software on your device in the manner of an application and should not be confused with a virus or other executable malicious software.
However, information associated with cookies can in some circumstances constitute personal data or be combined with other information capable of identifying or distinguishing a device or user. For this reason, Forex-Ratings.com handles cookie related information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
Forex-Ratings.com contains numerous informational and interactive components, including broker ratings, broker comparisons, reviews, community voting, market analysis, trading related information and other website functionality.
Cookies and similar technologies help these services operate efficiently.
They can enable the website to remember preferences between pages, maintain authenticated sessions, protect forms and accounts from certain types of abuse, analyze technical performance and determine which sections of Forex-Ratings.com visitors find most useful.
Aggregated usage information can also help us identify pages that load slowly, navigation structures that cause difficulty, content that receives particularly high levels of interest and functionality that could be improved.
Where advertising is displayed, cookies and related technologies may also be used to measure advertising delivery and performance and, where permitted by applicable law and user choices, to support personalized advertising.
The precise cookies and technologies used may change as Forex-Ratings.com develops and as third party services integrated into the website change.
Cookies can be classified according to their purpose, origin and duration.
For the purposes of this Policy, Forex-Ratings.com may use the following principal categories:
| Cookie Category | Main Purpose | Typical Examples | Consent May Be Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Core website operation and security | Login sessions, security, consent settings | Usually No |
| Functional Cookies | Remember preferences and improve functionality | Language, region, display settings | Depending on applicable law |
| Analytics Cookies | Measure website use and performance | Page visits, navigation, technical statistics | Often Yes |
| Performance Cookies | Identify technical and usability issues | Loading performance, error analysis | Often Yes |
| Advertising Cookies | Advertising delivery and measurement | Ad frequency, campaign measurement | Usually Yes |
| Personalization Cookies | Adapt content or advertising | Interest and preference signals | Usually Yes |
| Security Cookies | Prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized activity | Authentication and security controls | Usually No when necessary |
| Third Party Cookies | Support externally provided services | Analytics, advertising, embedded content | Depends on purpose |
The legal treatment of a particular cookie depends primarily on its purpose and applicable law rather than its name.
Strictly necessary cookies support functionality without which the website or a service requested by the user may not operate correctly.
These cookies can be used to maintain authenticated sessions, remember privacy choices, protect forms, distribute network traffic, maintain website security and provide other essential technical functionality.
For example, if a registered user signs into Forex-Ratings.com, a cookie may be required to maintain that authenticated session while the user navigates between pages.
Similarly, when you make a choice through a cookie consent mechanism, a cookie or comparable storage technology may be required to remember that choice. Without it, the website could repeatedly ask you to provide the same preference.
Because these technologies are necessary for providing the website or functionality explicitly requested by the user, consent may not always be required for their use, depending on applicable law.
Disabling strictly necessary cookies through browser settings may cause parts of Forex-Ratings.com to stop functioning correctly.
Functional cookies help remember choices made by visitors.
Depending on the functionality available on Forex-Ratings.com, these choices may include language preferences, geographical or regional settings, display preferences and other configuration information.
Their purpose is to make repeated visits more convenient.
Without functional cookies, users may need to reselect certain preferences each time they return to the website.
Whether consent is required for particular functional cookies depends on their purpose and the privacy laws applicable to the user.
Analytics cookies help Forex-Ratings.com understand how visitors interact with the website.
The information collected can include pages viewed, approximate session duration, navigation paths, referring pages, general device characteristics, browser information, interaction with website features and technical performance data.
This information helps us understand how Forex-Ratings.com is used and identify opportunities to improve navigation, content organization and functionality.
For example, aggregated analytics may indicate that a particular broker comparison page receives substantial traffic but that visitors frequently leave before completing a comparison. Such information can help identify usability problems.
Analytics data may also help us understand general traffic patterns and distinguish between ordinary user activity and unusual technical behavior.
Where applicable law requires consent before analytics cookies can be stored or accessed, these cookies will be subject to the user's cookie preferences.
Performance technologies are used to understand how efficiently Forex-Ratings.com operates.
They can provide information concerning page loading times, errors, browser compatibility, network performance and other technical characteristics.
The objective is to identify and correct technical problems rather than evaluate individual users.
Performance information can be particularly useful for a website serving visitors from multiple countries, networks and device types because the same page may perform differently under different technical conditions.
Depending on the technology and applicable law, performance cookies may be treated similarly to analytics cookies and may require consent.
Forex-Ratings.com may display advertising or other commercial content.
Advertising cookies and related technologies can be used to deliver advertisements, measure their performance, control how frequently particular advertisements are displayed and determine whether users interacted with advertising content.
Where permitted and where the appropriate user choice has been obtained, such technologies may also be used to make advertising more relevant to a visitor's inferred interests.
Advertising cookies may be placed by Forex-Ratings.com or by third party advertising and technology providers.
Because advertising technologies can involve tracking activity across websites or services, they may be subject to specific consent requirements.
Where required by applicable law, advertising cookies will not be activated until the user has provided the necessary consent.
Users may be able to reject advertising cookies while continuing to access the principal informational content of Forex-Ratings.com. Rejecting such cookies does not necessarily remove all advertising. It may instead result in advertisements that are less personalized.
Personalization technologies can help adapt aspects of a website experience according to previous interactions, preferences or inferred interests.
They may, for example, help determine which categories of content are particularly relevant to groups of users.
Where personalization involves information that is not strictly necessary for providing the service requested by the visitor, appropriate consent mechanisms may be applied.
Forex-Ratings.com does not consider acceptance of non essential personalization technologies a prerequisite for accessing ordinary publicly available content unless a particular service legitimately requires such functionality.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to protect Forex-Ratings.com, its users and its interactive systems.
Security related technologies can help identify suspicious login attempts, automated abuse, spam, manipulation of ratings or voting, unauthorized access and other potentially harmful activity.
In some circumstances, technical information concerning devices, sessions, network connections or IP addresses may be processed for security purposes.
Such processing can be necessary for maintaining the integrity of Forex-Ratings.com and protecting legitimate users.
Where security cookies are strictly necessary for these purposes, they may operate independently of consent requirements applicable to non essential analytics or advertising cookies.
A first party cookie is generally set by the website that the visitor is currently using.
A third party cookie is associated with another organization whose technology or service has been integrated into the website.
Forex-Ratings.com may use both first party and third party technologies.
First party cookies can support login sessions, preferences, security and other website functionality.
Third party technologies may be associated with analytics services, advertising systems, embedded content, social media functionality, technical infrastructure or other external services.
Third parties can process information according to their own privacy policies and legal responsibilities.
Forex-Ratings.com does not control every aspect of how independent third parties process information once a user interacts directly with their services.
Users are encouraged to review the privacy and cookie policies of relevant third party providers where appropriate.
Cookies can also be classified according to how long they remain on a device.
Session cookies normally exist only for the duration of a browser session and are deleted or become inactive after the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies can remain on the device after the session ends. Their duration can range from a relatively short period to a longer period depending on their purpose.
A persistent cookie may, for example, remember a user's preferences so they do not need to configure them again during every visit.
Forex-Ratings.com seeks to retain cookies only for periods reasonably appropriate to their purpose and applicable legal requirements.
Third party cookies may have retention periods determined by the relevant third party provider.
When you access Forex-Ratings.com, technical information associated with your connection may include an Internet Protocol address.
IP addresses are routinely used by internet infrastructure to transmit information between devices and servers.
Forex-Ratings.com may process IP address information for purposes including website delivery, security, fraud prevention, abuse detection, traffic analysis, troubleshooting and determining an approximate geographical region where this is relevant to website operation.
An IP address can constitute personal data under certain privacy laws, particularly when it can be associated with other information.
For this reason, Forex-Ratings.com does not treat IP addresses as inherently anonymous in all circumstances.
We do not use IP addresses with the objective of discovering the real world identity of ordinary visitors merely because they access Forex-Ratings.com.
However, technical information may be examined where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security incidents, unlawful activity, manipulation of website functionality or other abuse, and where such processing is permitted by applicable law.
Some website functionality may use approximate location information derived from an IP address or other general technical information.
This may help Forex-Ratings.com provide appropriate language, regional content, time zone information, advertising or other geographically relevant functionality.
Approximate location derived from an IP address is different from precise device location.
Forex-Ratings.com does not automatically receive precise GPS coordinates simply because a visitor accesses the website through an ordinary browser.
Where precise location information is ever requested through a device or browser, the user may be asked to provide separate permission as required by the relevant technology and applicable law.
If Forex-Ratings.com provides user accounts, cookies may be used to maintain authenticated sessions and provide account related functionality.
When a registered user signs in, some information generated during use of the website may be associated with the user's account rather than remaining solely associated with an unidentified browser session.
This can be necessary to support voting, reviews, comments, account preferences, security and other registered user functionality.
Users should protect their login credentials and should sign out when using shared or public devices.
Deleting authentication cookies can cause a user to be signed out of Forex-Ratings.com.
Forex-Ratings.com may provide functionality that interacts with social media platforms or other third party services.
Where a user chooses to sign in, connect an account, share content or interact with a third party service, information may be exchanged between Forex-Ratings.com and the relevant provider according to the functionality requested by the user.
The third party's processing of information is governed by its own privacy and cookie policies.
Forex-Ratings.com does not control the independent data processing practices of social media networks and other external providers.
Users should therefore review the privacy settings and policies associated with those services before connecting accounts or sharing information.
Pages on Forex-Ratings.com may contain content or functionality supplied by third parties.
Examples can include videos, charts, social media components, advertisements or other embedded resources.
When such content is loaded, the third party provider may receive technical information and may use cookies or similar technologies.
Where applicable law requires prior consent for these technologies, Forex-Ratings.com may prevent or limit their activation until the relevant preference has been provided.
Once a user chooses to interact directly with external content, additional processing may occur under the terms and privacy policies of the third party provider.
This Policy uses the term cookies for convenience, but websites can use other technologies that perform comparable functions.
These can include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software development technologies and other device or browser based mechanisms.
Such technologies may help maintain settings, measure interactions, support security, analyze traffic or provide advertising functionality.
Where these technologies are subject to legal requirements comparable to those applicable to cookies, Forex-Ratings.com seeks to treat them consistently with the principles described in this Policy.
Where applicable law requires consent for non essential cookies, Forex-Ratings.com may display a cookie banner or preference interface when a user first visits the website.
The available choices may depend on the visitor's jurisdiction and the technologies currently used by Forex-Ratings.com.
Users may be offered the ability to accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies or manage individual categories.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for core website functionality and may not depend on consent where applicable law permits this.
Consent should represent a genuine choice. Refusing optional analytics, personalization or advertising cookies should not normally prevent users from accessing ordinary publicly available Forex-Ratings.com content.
Where processing is based on consent, users should be able to withdraw or modify that consent.
Changing cookie preferences does not necessarily delete cookies that have already been stored on the device. Existing cookies may need to be removed through the browser or device settings, depending on the technology involved.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before consent was withdrawn.
Where a cookie preference management tool is available on Forex-Ratings.com, users can use that tool to review or modify their choices.
Most modern browsers allow users to control cookies.
Browser settings may permit users to view stored cookies, delete individual cookies, clear all cookies, block third party cookies, block all cookies or configure how websites handle future cookie requests.
The precise procedure depends on the browser and version being used.
Common browsers provide cookie and privacy controls within their settings or preferences menus.
Users should be aware that blocking all cookies can affect website functionality. Authentication, preference storage, security mechanisms and other features may depend on cookies.
Deleting cookies can also reset preferences and require users to sign in again.
The effect of disabling cookies depends on the category being blocked.
Disabling advertising cookies may reduce personalization but does not necessarily prevent advertisements from being displayed.
Disabling analytics cookies should generally not prevent access to the website's principal public content, although it may reduce our ability to understand and improve website performance.
Disabling functional cookies can cause preferences to be forgotten between visits.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies can interfere with login, security, preference management or other essential functionality.
Users should therefore consider the purpose of each cookie category when configuring browser or website preferences.
Forex-Ratings.com seeks to avoid retaining cookie related information for longer than reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Session cookies generally expire when the relevant session ends.
Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period unless the user deletes them earlier.
Retention periods can differ according to whether a cookie supports security, authentication, preferences, analytics, advertising or another purpose.
Where cookies are controlled by independent third parties, their retention periods are determined by those providers and should be described in their own policies or documentation.
Cookie information may in some circumstances qualify as personal data.
This can occur when a cookie identifier, IP address, device identifier or other technical information can be linked directly or indirectly to an identifiable individual.
Where cookie related information constitutes personal data, its processing is subject to applicable privacy requirements and the principles described in the Forex-Ratings.com Privacy Policy.
This can include requirements concerning transparency, purpose limitation, security, retention and user rights.
Forex-Ratings.com does not assume that all cookie information is anonymous merely because it does not contain a visitor's name.
Forex-Ratings.com may use information derived from cookies or similar technologies to understand general audience interests and improve advertising relevance where legally permitted.
This does not mean that Forex-Ratings.com necessarily knows the real world identity of the person viewing an advertisement.
Advertising technologies commonly operate using browser, device, session or interest related identifiers.
Where applicable law requires consent for personalized advertising or related tracking, such processing should depend on the appropriate user choice.
Users who decline personalized advertising may continue to receive contextual or non personalized advertisements.
Forex-Ratings.com is primarily intended for persons interested in financial markets and is not designed as a service directed specifically at young children.
Where applicable privacy laws impose additional requirements concerning cookies, consent or personal data relating to minors, Forex-Ratings.com seeks to comply with those requirements.
Users who are not legally permitted to access particular financial services should not interpret information available on Forex-Ratings.com as authorization to participate in those services.
Forex-Ratings.com may be accessed by users in many countries.
Cookie, privacy and electronic communications laws differ between jurisdictions.
For this reason, the consent mechanisms, available choices or legal basis for particular technologies may vary according to the user's location and applicable legal requirements.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit mandatory privacy rights that users may possess under applicable law.
Forex-Ratings.com may contain links to brokers, financial service providers, trading platforms, informational resources and other third party websites.
This Cookies Policy applies to Forex-Ratings.com and does not automatically govern independent websites operated by third parties.
When a user follows an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies according to its own policies.
Forex-Ratings.com is not responsible for the cookie practices, privacy policies or independent data processing activities of external websites.
Users should review the relevant policies before providing information or accepting optional tracking technologies on third party services.
Forex-Ratings.com seeks to apply reasonable measures to protect information processed through its website.
Nevertheless, no internet based system can guarantee absolute security.
Users should maintain appropriate security on their own devices, keep browsers and operating systems updated, protect account credentials and exercise caution when using shared or public computers.
Cookies themselves should not be regarded as executable computer programs, but information stored or associated with browser sessions can still have security implications. This is particularly relevant to authentication cookies.
Users should therefore avoid sharing authentication information and should sign out of accounts when appropriate.
The technologies used by Forex-Ratings.com may change as the website develops.
New functionality can require new cookies, while existing technologies may be modified or removed.
Third party providers can also change their own technologies, cookie names, retention periods and processing practices.
For this reason, the precise list of cookies used at any particular moment may differ from earlier versions of this Policy.
Where appropriate, a cookie management interface may provide more detailed information about technologies currently active on the website.
Forex-Ratings.com reserves the right to update this Cookies Policy periodically.
Changes may be made to reflect new website functionality, technological developments, modifications to third party services, changes in data processing practices or applicable legal requirements.
The revised Cookies Policy will be published on Forex-Ratings.com.
Where required by applicable law, users may be asked to provide new consent following material changes affecting optional cookie processing.
Users are encouraged to review this Policy periodically.
Cookies represent only one aspect of information processing on Forex-Ratings.com.
Additional information concerning the collection, use, protection, retention and disclosure of personal information should be provided in the Forex-Ratings.com Privacy Policy.
If information obtained through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, the relevant provisions of the Privacy Policy also apply.
This Cookies Policy should therefore be read together with the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Disclaimer and other applicable legal notices published on Forex-Ratings.com.
Forex-Ratings.com recognizes that users should have meaningful control over non essential technologies where applicable law provides such rights.
Depending on your jurisdiction and the functionality currently implemented on the website, you may be able to accept optional cookies, reject them, select particular categories, withdraw previously provided consent or manage cookies through your browser.
Refusing optional cookies does not mean that Forex-Ratings.com will stop functioning entirely. However, some personalization, analytics, advertising or convenience features may become unavailable or less effective.
Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide the website, maintain security or remember privacy choices.
By continuing to use Forex-Ratings.com, you acknowledge that you have been informed about the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy.
Where a particular category of cookies requires consent under applicable law, continued browsing alone will not necessarily be treated as consent. Such cookies will be handled according to the consent mechanism made available on Forex-Ratings.com.
Where cookies are strictly necessary for providing the website or a service requested by you, their use may not require consent, subject to applicable law.
Your privacy preferences can be managed through the mechanisms provided by Forex-Ratings.com where available and through the privacy and cookie settings of your browser or device.
The purpose of our use of cookies is to maintain a secure, functional and efficient website while giving users appropriate transparency and control over technologies that are not essential to its basic operation.
