How This Website Uses Cookies
A plain explanation of the small files this site stores on your device and the choices you have.
Go to the partner nowWhat a cookie actually is
Imagine you open a page on this site, scroll through a broker review, and then click to a comparison table. A moment later you return to the first page. Without any help, the site would treat you as a stranger each time. A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to keep, so that when you come back the site can recognise the same browser and remember a setting or a previous action. It is not a program, it cannot run on your device, and it does not read other files stored there.
Cookies come in different kinds. Some last only for the length of your visit and disappear when you close the browser tab. Others stay for a set period, such as a few months, so that a preference you chose is still there on your next visit. Some are placed by the site you are looking at, and others are placed by a service the site uses to measure traffic or show a simple feature. This page explains which kinds appear on eighbrokerng.com, why they are there, and what happens if you turn them down.
The site is an independent editorial resource. It reviews the broker EightCap and publishes information for readers in Nigeria. It is not the broker, it is not affiliated with the broker, and it does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits, or advice.
Understand what breaks when you refuse cookies
If you refuse all non-essential cookies, the site still loads and you can still read every review and comparison. What changes is the small layer of convenience and measurement that sits around the reading. For example, a cookie may remember that you chose a particular display setting or that you closed a notice, so that you are not shown the same thing on every page. Refuse it, and that choice is forgotten between visits; you may see the notice again or the setting may reset.
Measurement cookies are the other area affected. If you refuse them, the site cannot count your visit in the same way it counts others. That does not harm you directly, but it means the editors see a less accurate picture of which pages readers find useful. In practice, some articles may look less popular than they are, and decisions about what to update or expand become harder. The reading experience itself remains intact.
Essential cookies are different. These are the minimum needed for the site to function, such as keeping a page stable while you move through it. They do not track you across other sites and they are not used to build a profile. Because the site cannot operate properly without them, refusing them is not offered as an option; they are set when you use the site.
See how long each kind lives
Cookies on this site fall into three lifetime groups. Session cookies last only while your browser is open. They support basic functions such as keeping a page consistent as you navigate, and they are deleted when you close the tab or the browser. Preference cookies last longer, typically up to twelve months, because their purpose is to remember a choice you made, such as a display setting or a dismissed notice. They are set only after you agree to them.
Measurement and analytics cookies also last for a set period, usually between a few months and about two years, depending on what is being counted. They help the site understand which reviews are read, how readers move between pages, and whether a page loads correctly on different devices. These cookies are set only if you agree. They do not identify you by name and they are not used to show you advertising.
The exact lifetime of any cookie is set by the code that places it. Where a cookie is placed by a service the site uses for measurement, that service sets the period. The site does not extend those periods beyond what is needed for the purpose described here.
Learn how changes to this list are published
This page is the single place where the site's cookie practices are described. When a cookie is added, removed, or given a different lifetime, this page is updated before or at the same time as the change takes effect. The updated page carries a new date at the top, and the previous wording is replaced rather than kept alongside it, so that readers always see one current version.
If the change is significant, such as a new kind of measurement cookie, the site will also show a fresh notice the next time you visit, so that you can review the change and make a new choice. Minor edits, such as correcting a description, do not trigger a new notice, but they are still reflected here.
You can withdraw or change your cookie choice at any time through the cookie settings on this site. If you have a question about this page, use the contact form on this site; the editors will route it to the person responsible for the site's privacy and cookie practices. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and the site does not provide accounts, deposits, or brokerage services.
