Cookie Policy

BrokerRaters.com employs various tracking technologies to enhance your user experience. These trackers are important and necessary parts of internet technology. So, this ‘Cookie Policy’ outlines the tracking technologies we use and how they impact you. Read this “Cookie Policy” together with our “Privacy Policy” to understand how we use any data we collect.

Any tracker we use will access and store information on your browsing device as you interact with our website. These technologies include cookies, scripts, and similar technologies. Their work is to help us give you a more personal and convenient website visit. For example, cookies will let BrokerRaters.com remember you when you visit again. This enables us to display what’s relevant to you and customise the content based on your choices.

Because of privacy concerns, we observe the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and other data-related laws. Most jurisdictions require websites to disclose how they use cookies so users can provide consent. This policy document serves that purpose.

Understanding Trackers

“Cookies” refer to browser-based text files that contain small data, like your login details and preferences, to help with different BrokerRaters.com’s functionalities. 

We use specific cookies to identify your browser and improve your browsing experience. Upon connection, our server creates your data and stores it in a cookie in your device’s browser. The cookie labels it with an ID unique to you and your computer. So, when you come back, your computer exchanges the cookie with the network server, allowing us to access the ID and know what information to serve you specifically. That’s how we use cookies to identify your computer as you. 

User Consent

You can accept all cookies or functional cookies. This consent is optional; you can withdraw it at any time, as provided in this document. BrokerRaters provides this flexibility to ensure you have control over your data.

Types of Trackers Used

First-Party Trackers

First-party Trackers are essential for the website’s operation and service delivery. They include “functionality” cookies necessary for the website’s basic operation. So, we, BrokerRaters.com, directly manage them.

We store these cookies on your web browser to remember the “name-value pair” that identifies you. When you come back to the website in the future, your web browser sends us the cookie data back to our server. The receipt of this data triggers systems to recall your previous sessions’ data and send them back to your computer. This helps us manage your sessions and provide information that resonates with you.

Third-Party Trackers

Our partners provide third-party cookies or trackers. These cookies let our partners, like Google Analytics, know your preferences and display relevant ads.

Third-party cookies may track your individual browsing history across the web. Due to data protection laws, we have already mentioned that you can enable or prevent them from accessing your browser. But they are already being phased out. Also, our website still operates well without them.

Consequences of Denying Trackers

You can deny the use of cookies. But, this may limit the functionalities and user experience on BrokerRaters.com. Trackers are integral to providing advanced features and a better overall experience. So, restricting cookies makes it harder to explore our website, and you may have to re-enter your data for each visit. 

If any part of this Cookie Policy is confusing, please feel free to contact us, BrokerRaters.com, through our contact page. Since we don’t fully control how third parties use their trackers, always check with them. Also, read their privacy policies for complete details.
