At FXcompared.com, we take the privacy rights of our visitors and users very seriously and we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We recommend that you read our Privacy Policy which details how we may use your personal information and the circumstances in which it may be shared. This cookie policy sets out how our site uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can.

By using our site, you agree that we can place the cookies described in this cookie policy on your device. If you do not wish to have any cookies installed then, unfortunately, we suggest that you do not use our site.

  1. What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile phone when you browse websites.
    1. Our cookies help us to:
      1. make our site work as you would expect;
      2. save you having to manually re-enter your search criteria every time you visit the site;
      3. remember your settings during and between visits to the site;
      4. offer you free services/content (thanks to our transfer providers and advertising (see below));
      5. improve the speed/security of the site;
      6. allow you to share pages with social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+;

    2. We do not use cookies to:
      1. collect any personally identifiable information (without your express permission);
      2. collect any sensitive information (without your express permission); and
      3. pass personally identifiable data to third parties.
    You can learn more about all the cookies we use below.
  3. Granting us permission to use cookies. If the settings on your software that you are using to view this site (your browser) are adjusted to accept cookies we take this, and your continued use of our site, to mean that you accept having us place cookies on your device. Please note that if you decide to block any cookies (particularly essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site and our site may not work as you would expect.
  4. More about our Cookies in use on fxcompared.com
    1. We use our own cookies (called session cookies that expire once you leave our site and persistent cookies which are stored on your device in between browsing sessions) to make our website work including:
      1. remembering your search settings, search preferences and user preferences (for example when you return to the site); and
      2. allowing you to add comments to our site.
      Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to not use our site.
    2. Third Party Functions and Affiliate Cookies
      1. Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties, including the third party money transfer providers/FX brokers listed on our site (Transfer Providers), which enables us and the relevant Transfer Provider to establish that you came from our site as a referral from us and helps us to continue to provide a free service to our visitors.
      2. We may also have arrangements with some of our business partners who promote our service on a success-only basis (i.e. instead of paying for advertising, we pay them commissions on sales). Cookies are required to allow us to reward these partners and these cookies are usually provided by specialist companies (known as affiliate networks). Neither the networks, nor the partner advertising or recommending our services are able to identify you personally. We ask you to support us by allowing these cookies which ultimately help us to offer you the service we do at the price we do.
      3. Please note that disabling these cookies will in all likelihood disrupt the functions or will mean that the providers will not be able to provide a much more tailored service offered by these third parties.
    3. Social Media Cookies
      1. We may also use social media cookies to personalise your interaction with third party social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
      2. These third party cookies are not under our control. The privacy implications on this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.
    4. Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies
      1. We use cookies to compile visitor statistics, such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our site. These so called analytics programs also tell us if , on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.
      2. From time to time we may use analytical service providers to perform these analytic functions. For example, we use Google Analytics in order to help us to understand how our visitors arrive at our site, browse or use our site and highlight areas that we can improve. (Please click here for Google Analytics opt out options).
    5. Advertising Cookies and Banner Adverts
      1. Our service is free of charge and we are able to cover our expenses according to the number of successful referrals that we make to Transfer Providers. If we do decide to incorporate any online advertising on our site, then the advertisers will have their own advertising cookies. Cookies are widely used in online advertising (for example, so that they can personalise the adverts to you) but if you would like to opt out of any advertising cookies then please click on the relevant advertising icon. You can also change the settings on your internet browser.
    6. Cookies used by third party sites
      1. Our business partners, including the Transfer Providers, advertising networks providers and providers of external services (like web traffic analysis) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. Please ensure that you consult their website cookie policies for details of the cookies they use.
  5. Turning Cookies Off. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
