Cookie Policy
How igmabrokerau.com uses cookies, why some of them are needed for the site to work, and what you can do about the rest.
Go to the partner nowOur Commitment
We publish independent editorial reviews of IG Markets for readers in Australia, and we owe you a clear account of the small files our site places on your device. igmabrokerau.com is not the broker, is not affiliated with the broker, and does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. That independence shapes this policy: we describe our own practices plainly and do not dress them up.
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we rely on, what stops working if you refuse them, and how third parties and future changes are handled. It applies to every visit to this site, whether you read one page or many.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. When you return to the site, or move between its pages, the browser sends that file back. Cookies let a site remember that a visitor has already made a choice, keep a session steady, or gather readings about how pages are used.
Some cookies last only for the length of your visit and disappear when you close the browser. Others have an expiry date and remain until that date passes or you clear them yourself. They are not programs, they cannot run code on your device, and on their own they do not identify you by name.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies keep the site operational and secure. They carry your cookie preferences so we do not keep asking, maintain the integrity of a session as you move between pages, and help protect forms and pages against misuse. Without them the site cannot be delivered reliably.
Because the site cannot function without these cookies, they are set regardless of the choices you make about other categories. They are not used to build a profile of you or to serve advertising, and they do not track you across other websites.
Measurement and Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand how readers find the site and which pages hold attention. They record visits in aggregate form, such as page views, approximate region and the route by which a reader arrived. This tells us what to improve and what to stop doing.
Analytics cookies are optional. If you refuse them, the site still works in full and you can read every review and page. What changes is our visibility: we will see fewer details about how the site is used and will have to rely on coarser information when deciding what to fix or expand. Nothing about your access is restricted.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by parties other than us, through features embedded in our pages. These may include measurement tools that help us understand readership, or services that keep the site secure and available. Those parties set the cookies under their own policies, and we do not control what they store beyond the purpose for which we engage them.
We do not permit third parties to use cookies on this site to show you advertising for financial products, and we do not sell data gathered through cookies. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser will not prevent you from reading the site, though some embedded features may not display correctly.
Control and Changes
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, block them by site, and refuse third-party cookies entirely. Browser help pages describe where these controls sit. Refusing all cookies may affect how parts of the site behave, since strictly necessary cookies are required for it to work. If you clear your cookies, you will be asked for your preferences again on your next visit.
We may update this policy when our practices or the tools we use change. The revised text is published on this page, with the effective date shown at the top, and it takes effect from that date. We do not notify readers individually, so please review the page occasionally. Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact form on this site.
