Privacy policy
This policy explains what data SpreadComparison.com collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only, not to broker websites you visit through our links.
Data we collect
- Usage data: pages viewed, referring page, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser type. Used to measure traffic and improve content.
- Advertising data: if you arrive from an ad, we record campaign parameters (utm_source, utm_campaign and similar) to measure which campaigns work.
- Affiliate tracking: when you click a broker link, the broker may set a cookie that credits us with the referral. We do not receive your name, email, deposits or trading activity.
- Information you send us: the content of emails or submission forms you choose to send.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 and this site is not directed at children.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies to run the site, and analytics and advertising cookies (which may include Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement) to understand traffic and campaign performance. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function.
Google's own use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's policies. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
Legal basis and retention
We rely on legitimate interests for site security and aggregate analytics, and consent for non-essential advertising and analytics cookies. Aggregate analytics data is retained for up to 26 months; emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share limited technical data with service providers who host the site and provide analytics and advertising measurement, acting on our instructions.
