Cookie Policy
This policy explains how this independent editorial review site uses cookies when you read our coverage of IG Markets.
Compare with the partnerOur commitment
We take on a clear obligation here: to tell you, plainly and in advance, what our website stores on your device and why. This site is an independent editorial resource that reviews the broker IG Markets for readers in Nigeria. We are not the broker, we are not affiliated with the broker, and we do not offer financial services, trading accounts, deposits or advice of any kind. Because our only product is information, we think you are entitled to know exactly what technical tools support the reading experience.
This policy applies to everything you do on this website. It sits alongside our other editorial and privacy statements, and where those documents deal with personal data more broadly, this one focuses specifically on cookies and similar storage technologies. We keep the language direct on purpose. If a passage here seems to leave a question open, the contact form on this site is the right place to raise it, and we will answer as clearly as we can.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It contains a modest amount of data, usually an identifier and some settings, and it is sent back to the site, or to the party that set it, each time you load a page that belongs to the same domain. Cookies are not programs. They cannot run on your device, they cannot read other files, and they cannot install software.
Their purpose is functional. Some cookies keep a site working across page loads, for example by remembering a preference you have chosen or by holding a session together while you move between articles. Others help the operator understand how the site is used in aggregate. You can delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and you can configure your browser to refuse them. Blocking some categories may change how parts of this site behave, but reading our editorial content does not depend on you accepting anything beyond what is strictly necessary.
Strictly necessary cookies
A small set of cookies is required for the website to function and to be delivered to you safely. These cover basic things such as routing requests to the correct page, keeping the site stable under load, and protecting forms and pages against misuse. They do not track you across other websites, and they are not used to build a profile of your interests.
Because these cookies are essential to the service you have asked for by visiting the site, they are set without a separate consent step. If you disable them in your browser, some pages may fail to load or behave unpredictably, and we cannot guarantee that the site will work as intended. We keep this category as small as we reasonably can, and we review it whenever the underlying technology changes.
Third parties, analytics and changes
Some cookies may be set by parties other than us, typically where a feature embedded in a page is served from another domain. Those parties control their own cookies and their own policies, and we do not control what they store. We do not name them here because the set can change, but any third-party cookie you encounter on this site is governed by the privacy terms of the party that set it.
We also use measurement and analytics cookies. These tell us how many people read a page, which sections are opened most, how visitors arrive at the site, and where pages fail or load slowly. The information is used in aggregate to improve our editorial coverage and the site itself. It is not used to sell you anything, and it does not affect the independence of our reviews. Where the law requires consent for analytics, those cookies are set only after you agree, and you can withdraw that agreement through your browser at any time.
We publish changes to this list by replacing this policy on the site and updating the date shown at the top of the page. The current version is always the one in force. If a change affects what we store or why, we will describe it in this section in plain terms rather than quietly amending the text. We encourage you to check back occasionally, particularly if you have configured your browser to treat cookies in a specific way, so that your settings continue to match your preferences.
