Cookie Policy

What is a cookie, really?

Imagine you open a page reviewing BDSwiss, scroll through the account and fee sections, then come back the next day and find the layout adjusted to the screen size you used before. That small act of remembering is usually a cookie at work. A cookie is a tiny text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return, the browser sends that file back to the site, allowing the site to recognise the visit rather than treating it as a first encounter.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot run on your device, install software, or read files you have stored elsewhere. They carry small pieces of information, such as a preference or a random identifier. Some last only for the length of a browsing session and disappear when you close the tab. Others remain for a set period and are read the next time you visit.

This site is an independent editorial resource. We review BDSwiss for readers in the United Arab Emirates, but we are not the broker, we are not affiliated with it, and we do not offer financial services, accounts, deposits, or advice. That matters for this policy because the cookies described here relate to reading and navigating our pages, not to any trading account or transaction.

Which cookies are strictly necessary?

A small set of cookies is required for the site to function at all. These handle basic tasks such as keeping a page stable while it loads, remembering that you have acknowledged this policy, and protecting forms on the site from misuse. Without them, pages may fail to display correctly or a submission you make through a form may not reach us.

Strictly necessary cookies are not used to build a profile of you, and they are not shared for advertising purposes. Because the site cannot operate without them, they are usually set regardless of the choices you make on a consent banner. If you block them through your browser, some parts of the site will simply stop working.

What do measurement and analytics cookies do?

We use analytics cookies to understand how readers move through the site. They tell us, for example, which review pages are opened most often, how long visitors stay on a section, and where people leave. The information is aggregated into reports about traffic and reading behaviour.

These cookies are not essential for the site to work. They help us decide which content to update and which parts of a page are hard to use. Where analytics tools are provided by an outside company, that company may set cookies on our behalf and process the resulting data under its own terms.

We do not use these cookies to identify you by name, and we do not combine them with information that would let us contact you.

Are there cookies set by third parties?

Some cookies on this site are placed by organisations other than us. This can happen when a page includes a tool provided by an outside service, such as an analytics platform or a feature that displays embedded content. Those third parties set their own cookies and control how long they last and what they collect.

We do not control the cookies of third parties, and their use is governed by their own policies rather than this one. We choose the services we work with carefully, but we cannot change how those services behave on your device.

If you want to limit third-party cookies, the browser controls described below apply to them as well, and many browsers let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.

What happens if I refuse cookies?

Refusing non-essential cookies has no effect on your ability to read our reviews. The pages remain available, and you can browse the site as you normally would. What changes is that we receive less information about how the site is used.

Without analytics cookies, we cannot see which pages are read, where readers encounter difficulty, or how many people visit a section. That makes it harder to spot broken layouts and to decide which content needs attention. Over time, the site may improve more slowly than it otherwise would.

If you block strictly necessary cookies as well, more visible problems can appear. A page may not load fully, a preference may be forgotten between visits, or a form on the site may not submit. These effects come from your browser settings, and we cannot override them from our side.

How do I control cookies in my browser, and how do changes to this policy reach me?

Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, and block them for all sites or for particular ones. The controls are usually found in the privacy or security section of the browser settings. You can also set your browser to warn you before a cookie is stored, and most browsers offer a private browsing mode that clears cookies when you close the window. Mobile devices have equivalent settings in the system or browser preferences.

When we change how cookies are used on this site, we update this page. The revised text is published here and takes effect from the date it appears. We do not send individual notices for every edit, so if the details matter to you, check this page occasionally. The version currently published is the one that applies.

If you have a question about this policy, the contact form on this site is the way to reach us. We have not listed a postal address, phone number, or email address here because we do not publish those details on this page.
