This policy applies to all visitors to our website. By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue your use of the site.

We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR (where applicable), and other applicable data protection laws.

This data is collected via server logs and analytics tools and is used to understand how visitors use our site and to improve its performance. It is not used to personally identify individual users.

2.2 Data You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us via email at editorial@fxtradereu.com, we will collect any personal data you include in your message, such as your name and email address. We use this data solely to respond to your enquiry and do not use it for marketing or share it with third parties without your consent.

Our website uses cookies. See Section 4 below for full details of how we use cookies and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

• Website analytics: To understand how visitors navigate our site, which pages are most visited, and how we can improve user experience.
• Technical operation: To ensure the website functions correctly, to diagnose technical problems and to maintain security.
• Responding to enquiries: To respond to messages sent to us via email.
• Affiliate tracking: When you click a broker affiliate link, certain technical data (such as click identifiers) may be passed to the affiliate tracking system of the relevant broker. This is necessary for us to receive the affiliate commission described in our Disclaimer.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to any third party for their marketing purposes.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: We may use anonymised analytics tools to understand site usage. These cookies do not personally identify you.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click a broker link, an affiliate tracking cookie may be set. This records that a visitor from our site visited the broker's site, enabling commission to be attributed to FXTraderEU. These cookies are controlled by the broker's tracking system, not by us.
