Cookie Policy

Last updated: 26 December 2025

Who we are

This Cookie Policy applies to ForexForStarters.com (“we”, “us”). If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at hello@forexforstarters.com.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites function, improve user experience, and (optionally) measure performance or track referrals.

Cookie banner (your choices)

When you first visit our website, we show a cookie banner on page load with two options:

  • Accept: we may enable optional analytics measurement (via Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics).
  • Deny: we do not enable optional analytics measurement and we do not set non-essential cookies through our analytics setup.

At this time, we do not offer granular category choices (only Accept / Deny).

Cookies we use

Depending on your choice, we may use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies (always on)

Needed for core site functionality, security, and basic performance (for example: navigation, session-related functions, and protection against misuse). These are required for the website to work properly.

Analytics cookies (optional)

If you click Accept, we may use analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content. Our analytics setup is managed through:

  • Google Tag Manager (GTM) (tag management)
  • Google Analytics (GA) (traffic & interaction measurement)

Analytics may set cookies such as Google Analytics identifiers (exact cookies and lifetime can vary based on configuration and updates).

Marketing / affiliate cookies (optional)

We may use affiliate links. When you click an affiliate/IB/referral link, tracking may occur to attribute the referral. In many cases, any referral/affiliate cookies are set by third parties (for example: the affiliate platform or the destination website), not by us.

What we measure (only if you accept)

If you accept analytics, we may track events such as:

  • outbound link clicks (including affiliate/IB/referral links)
  • certain button/link clicks (interaction events)
  • form interactions and form submissions

This helps us understand which content is useful and where the site can be improved.

Third-party services

We use third-party services (such as Google) to process analytics data. These providers may process data on servers outside your country. For more details, please consult the providers’ documentation and policies.

Future tools

We currently only use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. If we add additional tools in the future (for example, Hotjar), we will update this Cookie Policy and (where required) request your consent before enabling them.

Managing your cookie choices

You can manage cookies in the following ways:

  • Use our cookie banner choices when you visit the site (Accept / Deny).
  • If you want to change your choice later and we don’t provide a dedicated “cookie settings” button yet, you can clear site cookies in your browser and revisit the site to see the banner again.
  • Disable or delete cookies via your browser settings (note: blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality).

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was most recently revised.
