Cookie Policy

1.1. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.

1.2. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, such as an analytics or advertising provider).

1.3. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

1.4. In addition to cookies, we use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) and local storage (HTML5). References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies, and they are subject to the same consent choices as cookies.

We group cookies into four categories. These are the same categories shown in our cookie banner. We use Necessary cookies without consent; we use Preferences, Statistics and Marketing cookies only if you allow them.

2.1. Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable core functionality such as security, bot and fraud protection, load balancing, page navigation and storing your cookie choices. Without these cookies, the Website cannot function properly. These cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for the provision of the service you have requested.

• Security, bot management and DDoS protection;
• Load balancing and server allocation;
• Cookie consent preferences storage;
• Essential form functionality.

2.2. Preferences Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to remember choices that change how it behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or region. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. We only use them with your consent. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

• Language and region preferences;
• Display preferences (font size, layout, theme);
• Live chat functionality;
• User interface customisation.

2.3. Statistics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how users navigate between pages, and whether error messages are encountered. Some of these cookies assign your browser a unique identifier or record interactions such as clicks, scrolls and mouse movements. This information is pseudonymous: it does not directly identify you by name, but it can relate to your device. They help us improve how our Website works. We only use them with your consent.

• Page view tracking and visitor counts;
• User navigation patterns and session duration;
• Error reporting and performance monitoring;
• A/B testing and conversion optimisation;
• Heatmap and scroll-depth analysis.

2.4. Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements and marketing content more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and track whether you have visited a website after seeing an advertisement. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks such as Google, Meta and TikTok, which may combine this information with other information they hold about you. We only use these cookies with your consent.

• Ad targeting and retargeting (remarketing);
• Measuring ad campaign effectiveness;
• Building interest profiles for relevant advertising;
• Social media sharing and integration;
• Conversion tracking from advertisements.

The list below is generated automatically by our consent management platform, Cookiebot, from regular scans of the Website. It shows the name, provider, purpose, category and duration of each cookie, as well as your current consent status, and lets you change or withdraw your consent.

4.1. Some cookies on our Website are placed by third parties. These third parties include our consent management provider (Cookiebot by Usercentrics), security providers (Cloudflare), analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Hotjar), advertising networks (e.g., Google Ads, Meta, TikTok), social media platforms, and other service providers whose tools we have integrated (e.g., Intercom for live chat).

4.2. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties and recommend reviewing their individual privacy and cookie policies:

• Google Analytics/Ads: Google Privacy Policy | Google Analytics Opt-Out
• Meta (Facebook): Meta Privacy Policy
• Cloudflare: Cloudflare Privacy Policy
• Cookiebot by Usercentrics: Usercentrics Privacy Policy
• Hotjar: Hotjar Privacy Policy
• TikTok: TikTok Privacy Policy
• Intercom: Intercom Privacy Policy

4.3. Some of these providers are based in, or transfer data to, countries outside the country where you are located, including the United States. Where required by law, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses. Further details are set out in our Privacy Policy.

4.4. We use Google Consent Mode. If you do not consent to Statistics or Marketing cookies, Google tags do not set or read cookies for those purposes. They may send limited, cookieless signals (for example, that a page has loaded) to Google without identifiers.

4.5. Where we and an advertising partner jointly decide how information is collected through cookies on our Website (for example, Meta), we may act as joint controllers for that collection.

5.1. You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

5.1.1. Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to allow all cookies, deny all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. No non-essential cookies are set before you make a choice, and refusing is as easy as accepting. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of our Website or by using the controls in Section 3. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before you withdrew it.

5.1.2. How Long We Keep Your Choice

We store your cookie choices for 12 months. After that, or if we make significant changes to the cookies we use, we will ask for your consent again.

5.1.3. Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies, alert you when a cookie is being placed, or only allow cookies from specific websites. Below are links to instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Manage cookies in Chrome
• Apple Safari: Manage cookies in Safari
• Mozilla Firefox: Manage cookies in Firefox
• Microsoft Edge: Manage cookies in Edge

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our Website. Some features may not work correctly if essential cookies are disabled. Deleting cookies in your browser also removes cookies that third parties set before you withdrew your consent.

5.1.4. Opt-Out of Analytics and Advertising

You can opt out of certain analytics and advertising cookies using the following tools:

• Google Analytics Opt-Out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): DAA Opt-Out Tool
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): NAI Opt-Out Tool
• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): Your Online Choices

6.1. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

6.2. At present, NextTrade does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through the methods described in Section 5 above.

7.1. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via our Website or by email. Where changes affect cookies that require your consent, we will ask for your consent again through our cookie banner.

7.2. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, such as the Data Protection Office of Mauritius or the authority in the country where you live.
