Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over time, and they are also used to measure how a site is being used.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and software development kits supplied by analytics providers. Where this policy refers to cookies, it covers those equivalent technologies too.

Cookies set by forextradingvault.co.uk are 'first party'. Cookies set by other domains loaded through our pages, such as analytics or affiliate networks, are 'third party'.

Strictly necessary: required for the site to function, including page routing, security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be turned off through our site because the site will not work correctly without them.

Analytics and performance: used to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the site. These tell us which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around. IP addresses are anonymised where the provider supports it.

Functional: remember choices such as previously viewed brokers, dismissed notices, and display preferences, so that the experience is consistent between visits.

Affiliate and advertising: record that a visit to a broker or vendor originated from ForexTradingVault so that a qualifying referral can be attributed to us. These cookies are typically set by the broker's affiliate network, not by us, and their lifespan is set by that network.

Session cookies expire as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they reach their expiry date or you delete them manually.

In practice, strictly necessary cookies on this site are session-based or last up to 12 months. Analytics cookies commonly last between 24 hours and 24 months depending on the provider's configuration. Affiliate attribution cookies typically last between 30 and 90 days.

Exact durations are controlled by the provider and can change without notice to us. Your browser's cookie inspector will always show the authoritative expiry for any cookie currently stored on your device.

You can accept, refuse or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Every major browser, including Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, provides controls to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or clear cookies already stored.

You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement across all websites by installing Google's official opt-out browser add-on. Many advertising networks also offer opt-outs through the Your Online Choices portal.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of this site from working. Blocking affiliate cookies does not change what you pay or which brokers you can access; it simply means a referral is not attributed to us.

There is no industry-wide standard for responding to browser 'Do Not Track' signals. Where a provider we use honours Global Privacy Control or a similar signal, that provider's own behaviour will apply.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about individuals, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.

We review this policy whenever we add or remove a third-party service, and at least once a year. Material changes are reflected in the 'last updated' date shown at the top of this page.

For any question about cookies or data protection, email info@forextradingvault.co.uk and we will respond within two working days.
