Cookie Policy
How this independent editorial site uses cookies, and what happens when you refuse them.
Check the partner's termsScope of this policy
This policy explains how cookies are used on eighbrokerau.com, an independent editorial resource that reviews the broker EightCap for readers in Australia. It covers the cookies set on this site and the choices available to you. It does not cover the practices of any other website, including the broker's own site, which operates under its own policies and its own responsibilities.
This site is not the broker. It is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to open an account or to trade. This policy is about the technical operation of the site and the privacy choices attached to it, and it should be read alongside the site's broader privacy information where that is provided.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It usually contains a name, a value, and information such as the site that set it and how long it should remain stored. When you return to the site, your browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site recognise your browser or remember a choice you made earlier.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot run code, install software, or read other files on your device. Some are deleted when you close your browser, while others stay for a defined period. Related technologies, such as local storage, work in a similar way, and references to cookies in this policy include those technologies where they serve the same purpose.
Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are needed for the site to work at all. They handle basic functions such as loading pages correctly and keeping your cookie choices in place while you browse. These cookies do not track you across other websites, and they are not used to build a profile of your interests.
Because the site cannot operate reliably without them, refusing strictly necessary cookies may break core parts of the site. Pages may fail to display properly, your preferences may not be remembered, and you may be asked to set your choices again on every visit. If you block all cookies in your browser, some sections of the site may not load or may behave in unexpected ways.
Measurement and analytics cookies
The site may use analytics cookies to understand how readers use it. These cookies record information such as which pages are viewed, how long a visit lasts, how visitors arrive at the site, and which links are followed. The purpose is to measure the performance of editorial content and to improve how the site is structured and presented.
Analytics cookies are not essential to the site's operation. If you refuse them, the site will still work, but the editors will have less information about which pages are useful and which are not. The practical effect is that measurement data becomes incomplete or unavailable, and improvements may be slower to identify. Refusing analytics cookies does not reduce your access to any content on the site.
Control and later changes
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view stored cookies, delete them, block them from specific sites, or block them entirely. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use, and the relevant help pages of your browser explain where those settings are found. Blocking cookies may affect both this site and others you visit.
This policy may be updated from time to time, for example if the cookies used on the site change. The current version is the one published on this page, and the date shown with it indicates when it was last revised. If you have a question about this policy, use the contact form on this site.
