This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have. For more information about how we process personal information, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function, remember preferences, measure performance, and (in some cases) support advertising.

We may also use similar technologies like pixels, SDKs, local storage, and tags. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies”.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• Make the Website work (security, load balancing, page navigation, consent settings);
• Remember preferences (e.g., language or region, where applicable);
• Understand usage (analytics, performance, and improvement);
• Measure marketing performance (e.g., understanding which pages or campaigns lead to sign-ups or clicks);
• Prevent abuse and keep the Website secure.

Many regulators distinguish between strictly necessary cookies (which can be used without consent) and non-essential cookies (which generally require opt-in consent).

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1. Strictly necessary cookies (always on)

These are required for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They typically include:

• security and fraud prevention cookies;
• cookie consent preference storage;
• session management and basic site functionality.

3.2. Functional cookies

These improve functionality and personalisation (e.g., remembering settings). If you disable them, some features may not work as intended.

3.3. Analytics/performance cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., which pages are popular, how long pages take to load) so we can improve it. Guidance typically expects clear disclosure and (in many cases) consent for analytics cookies.

3.4. Marketing/advertising cookies

These may be used to measure campaigns, limit how often you see an ad, or show more relevant ads on other platforms. Cookie rules for advertising are commonly stricter and usually require opt-in consent.

4. First-party vs third-party cookies

• First-party cookies are set by TradeFX.
• Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose tools we use (e.g., analytics providers, advertising platforms, embedded content).

Third parties may process data according to their own privacy policies.

5. Cookie consent and your choices

When you first visit, we show a cookie banner (or preferences panel) that lets you:

• accept all cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• choose categories (functional, analytics, marketing).

We only set non-essential cookies if you consent, where required. This consent approach is widely reflected in EU/UK cookie guidance and is generally a sensible standard to apply site-wide.

Changing your cookie preferences

You can update your preferences at any time by:

• clicking [Cookie Settings] in the Website footer (recommended); or
• adjusting your browser settings (see Section 6).

6. How to control cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you:

• delete cookies already stored;
• block all cookies; or
• block third-party cookies.

Instructions vary by browser. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect Website functionality.

7. What cookies are currently in use on TradeFX

Because cookies can change as we update the Website and our tools, we maintain an up-to-date cookie list in our cookie preferences panel, including:

• cookie name;
• provider;
• purpose;
• duration; and
• category.

8. POPIA note (South Africa)

Where cookies involve personal information (for example, identifiers linked to behaviour or device data), we treat that information in line with our Privacy Policy and POPIA’s lawful processing principles.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We’ll post the latest version on this page and update the effective date above.
