Cookie Policy
How this independent editorial site uses cookies, what each kind does, and how you can control them.
Official site of the sponsorWhat This Policy Covers
This policy explains how cookies are used on eighbrokerug.com, an independent editorial resource that publishes reviews and commentary about the broker EightCap for readers in Uganda. It describes the categories of cookies the site sets or encounters, what each category does, how long each kind typically remains on your device, and the choices available to you.
It does not cover the broker's own websites, trading platforms, client portals or any other service you may reach through a link. Those services are separate from this site, are operated by others, and publish their own cookie and privacy notices. This site is not the broker, is not affiliated with the broker, and does not provide financial services, accounts, deposits or advice. Nothing here should be read as a statement about how any other website handles cookies.
This policy also does not address broader questions about personal data beyond cookies; it is limited to the storage and reading of information on your device through cookie technology.
What a Cookie Is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the site, or move between its pages, the browser sends that file back so the site can recognise the visit. Cookies can hold a session identifier, a preference, or a record that a notice has already been shown.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot run on your device, install software or read other files. Their role is limited to storing and returning small pieces of information to the site that set them, or to a third party whose code appears on the page.
Some cookies expire when you close the browser. Others remain for a set period and are read on later visits. The length of time a cookie stays on your device is set by whoever creates it, and is described below for each category used here.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
A small number of cookies are needed for the site to work as intended. They keep a page session stable, remember choices you have made about cookie notices, and help protect forms on the site against misuse. These cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used to build a profile of your interests.
Because the site cannot function properly without them, strictly necessary cookies are usually set without a separate request for consent. They are typically session cookies that expire when you close the browser, though preference cookies that record your cookie choices may remain for up to twelve months so that the site does not ask again on every visit.
You can block them through your browser settings, but parts of the site may then behave unpredictably.
Measurement and Analytics
The site uses analytics cookies to understand how readers find and use its pages. These cookies record aggregated information such as which articles are opened, how long a page is viewed, which pages are visited before and after, and whether a visit came from a search engine or a link elsewhere. This helps the editorial team decide what to cover and how to present it.
Analytics cookies are set by a third-party measurement service whose code runs on the site. They may recognise a returning browser, but the reports produced for this site are statistical and are not used to identify individual readers. These cookies typically remain for between a few months and about two years, depending on the service's default settings; session-based measurement cookies expire when the browser closes.
Analytics cookies are not strictly necessary, and you can refuse or remove them without losing access to the site's content.
Cookies Set by Third Parties
Some cookies on the site are placed by parties other than this site. These include the measurement service described above and, where a page embeds content such as a video or a social media post, the provider of that content. When such an embed loads, the third party may set its own cookies or read existing ones, subject to its own policies.
This site does not control those cookies and cannot read the information they hold. The third parties are responsible for how they use that information, and their notices should be consulted for details.
If you prefer to limit this, you can adjust your browser to block third-party cookies, or avoid interacting with embedded content; the surrounding article remains readable either way.
Managing Cookies and Changes
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings, usually under a privacy or security section. You can set a browser to refuse third-party cookies, to clear cookies when it closes, or to warn you before a cookie is stored. Browser help pages explain the exact steps for each product. Blocking all cookies may affect how the site and other websites behave.
This policy may be updated when the cookies used on the site change, for example when a measurement tool is added or removed. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the date shown at the top of the page indicates when it last changed. Readers are encouraged to check back occasionally.
