Cookie Policy

    Last updated: January 2026

    This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones BrokerTrusted uses, why we use them, who places them, how long they last and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.

    1. What Are Cookies?

    Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember preferences, measure usage and provide essential functionality. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and SDKs.

    2. Types of Cookies We Use

    • Strictly necessary: required for the site to function (security, load balancing, language preference). Cannot be disabled.
    • Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) measures aggregated, pseudonymous traffic.
    • Preferences: store language selection and UI choices.
    • We do NOT use advertising or retargeting cookies.

    3. Third-Party Cookies

    • Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC) — traffic measurement.
    • Hosting/CDN providers may set technical cookies for security and performance.

    4. Retention

    • Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser.
    • Persistent cookies: from a few days up to 24 months.
    • Google Analytics _ga: 13 months by default.

    Strictly necessary cookies rely on legitimate interest. Analytics and preference cookies rely on your consent where required by GDPR/LGPD.

    6. How to Manage Cookies

    • Browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Brave allow you to view, block and delete cookies.
    • Google Analytics opt-out: install the official browser add-on.
    • Do Not Track: we honor browser-level signals where technically feasible.

    7. Updates

    We may update this Cookie Policy as our services or applicable laws change. Significant changes are announced on this page with a new last-updated date.
