What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located in your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change as it travels back and forth, it has no way of affecting how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (ie they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they are updated every time you visit a website.
We can obtain information about you by accessing cookies sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. For example, session cookies are only used when a person is actively navigating a website. When you leave the website, the session cookie disappears.
Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyze how visitors use our website, as well as to track and improve our website’s performance and functionality. This allows us to provide a high quality customer experience by quickly identifying and correcting any issues that may arise. For example, we may use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. The latter also helps us track whether you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log-in sessions, which means that when you log into the Members Area to deposit money, a “session cookie” is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website didn’t. set this cookie, you will be prompted for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
In addition, e.g. functional cookies to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure that your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently. For example, cookies save you the trouble of entering your username every time you access our trading platform and remember your preferences, such as which language you want to see when you log in.
