Privacy and what happens to your numbers

Calculators run in your browser

The calculators on this site run in your browser, and the numbers you enter are never sent to a server. That includes the margin example where a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 at the stated leverage cap. The arithmetic happens on your device, and the result is displayed to you and nobody else.

This is a deliberate design choice, not a setting you have to switch on. Because the figures are not transmitted, the desk cannot see your position size, your account balance or the naira amount you are thinking of funding. There is no server-side log of what you typed.

The three kinds of cookies this site uses and what each one does

This site uses three kinds of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, preference cookies, and analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and remember your cookie consent choice; without them the consent banner cannot record your answer. Preference cookies store your calculator inputs and display settings so the pages behave consistently between visits. Analytics cookies produce aggregate visit counts that tell us which pages are opened and which are ignored. None of these three categories is used to show you targeted advertising on this site.

Strictly necessary cookies are set by this site itself and carry no advertising purpose. They expire when your browser session ends or after a short fixed period, and they do not identify you to any third party. Preference cookies last longer because their job is to remember your choices, but they hold only the numbers you typed into the gold calculators and your consent state. Analytics cookies are first-party and record page views and session counts in aggregate; they do not record the naira amounts or lot sizes you enter.

You control all three kinds through the consent banner and your browser settings. Rejecting analytics cookies stops the visit counter but leaves the calculators fully usable, because the arithmetic runs in your browser and does not depend on any cookie. Blocking preference cookies means the site forgets your last calculator inputs and you retype them. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop the consent banner from remembering your answer, so it could ask again on your next visit. No cookie on this site is used to track you across other websites.

How long each item is kept and the single action that deletes it

Retention on this site is short and tied to the item: the consent cookie lasts until you clear it or its fixed expiry passes, preference storage holding calculator inputs lasts until you clear site data, and analytics counts are kept only in aggregate for a limited reporting window. Server logs held by the hosting provider are kept for a short operational period and then rotated out. No item is kept indefinitely, and none is archived into a marketing database because no such database exists here.

The single action that deletes everything this site controls is clearing site data for this domain in your browser. That removes the consent cookie, the preference storage with your calculator inputs, and the analytics identifier in one step. After that, the site cannot link any earlier visit to you, and the consent banner will ask again. There is no separate account to close and no deletion request needed for browser-held items, though you may still write about server logs.

Server logs are the one item you cannot delete from your browser, because they sit with the hosting provider rather than on your device. They are kept only for the short operational period described above and then removed on a rolling basis. If you want earlier removal, use the contact address and give the visit date and time. The broker's retention of your data, once you open an account, is set by the broker and is outside this site's control.

Traffic counts and local storage

Only aggregate traffic counts are kept, such as how many times a page was opened, so the desk can tell which pages are read. These counts do not identify you and are not used to build a profile. There is no attempt to match a visit to a person.

Local storage in your browser holds your own preferences, such as a calculator setting you chose, so the page behaves the same way when you return. That storage sits on your device and can be cleared by you at any time from your browser settings. The desk does not read it remotely.

What this site stores on your device and what it never collects

This site stores only a small set of functional items on your device: a cookie that remembers your cookie choice, browser local storage for the last values you typed into the gold calculators, and a random session identifier used to count visits. It does not store your name, email address, phone number, bank account details, card number, or any naira amount you enter into a calculator. Nothing you type into the position-size or margin fields is saved to a server or attached to an identity.

The site never collects your trading account credentials, your FxPro login, your bank verification number, or any document you might upload elsewhere. It does not build a profile of your trading history. The only persistent record tied to you is the local storage entry that keeps calculator inputs so you do not retype them on a return visit, and you can clear that at any time through your browser settings. There is no account to create on this site and no form that asks for personal details.

What the site does store is limited to technical preferences and anonymous counts. It keeps your consent state so the banner does not reappear, a timestamp of your last visit for basic traffic measurement, and the calculator values already mentioned. It does not store your IP address in a readable form, your device fingerprint, or any cross-site identifier. If you clear cookies and local storage, the site treats you as a new visitor and nothing that was there before can be recovered from us.

Affiliate links are marked and they never change the numbers on this page

Some links to FxPro on this site are affiliate links, which means the site may receive a payment if you open an account after following one. That payment does not change the margin figure of about $85.50 for a 0.10-lot gold position, the pip value of 0.01, or any other number on the page. The calculators produce the same result whether you arrive through an affiliate link or type the address directly. Affiliate status is stated plainly here rather than buried in a footer.

The affiliate arrangement does not give the broker any access to your calculator inputs, your local storage, or your consent choice. The link itself carries a referral identifier so the broker can attribute a sign-up, and that identifier is the only extra piece of information attached to the click. It does not contain your name, your naira amounts, or your trading history. We do not receive a copy of your account details, your deposits, or your trades from the broker.

Following an affiliate link does not commit you to funding an account or to trading gold. You can compare the platform information, read the risk warnings, and leave without registering. The broker's own terms, its spreads and commissions, and its minimum deposit are set by the broker and are not negotiated by this site. If you prefer, you can open FxPro directly in a new tab and skip the referral entirely; the educational content on this page remains the same either way.

Your rights over what is stored and the exact steps to use them

You have the right to see what is stored about you, to correct it, to delete it, and to object to analytics. Because this site holds almost nothing that identifies you, the practical route is your browser: clearing cookies and local storage removes the consent state, the visit counter, and your saved calculator inputs in one action. For anything held by the hosting provider in server logs, you can write to the contact address on the site and ask what is held and request deletion.

To exercise the right to object to analytics, reject analytics cookies in the consent banner or block them in your browser; the calculators keep working because they run locally. To exercise the right to deletion, clear site data for this domain in your browser settings, which removes every cookie and local storage entry this site has set. To ask about server logs, use the contact address and describe the date and time of your visit so the request can be located. No fee is charged for these requests.

Rights over anything held by FxPro belong against FxPro, not this site, and are handled under its own privacy policy once you open an account. This site cannot retrieve, correct or delete records that the broker holds about you. If your concern is a broker's conduct rather than this site's data, the SEC Nigeria register of capital market operators is the reference point for checking who is authorised. Keep your request to this site separate from any request to the broker.

The broker sets its own cookies

When you follow an affiliate link to a broker, the broker sets its own cookies under its own policy. That happens on the broker's site, not on this one, and the desk does not control those cookies or see what the broker records. The broker's privacy policy is the document that governs that part of the journey.

The same applies to the account, the deposit and any withdrawal: once you are on the broker's platform, your relationship is with the broker, and the data you give it is handled under its policy. Read that policy before you fund an account, especially where naira bank transfer and card details are involved.

The third parties that can see something when you use this page

Three groups of third parties can see something when you use this page: the hosting provider that serves the files, the analytics service that counts visits in aggregate, and the broker whose link you may follow. The hosting provider processes standard server logs such as the requested page and the time of the request. The analytics service receives aggregate page-view counts without your calculator inputs. The broker receives information only if you click through to its site, and from that point its own privacy policy applies.

No third party receives the numbers you type into the gold calculators. Those values stay in your browser and are not transmitted to the hosting provider, the analytics service, or the broker. The hosting provider does not receive your naira amounts either. The analytics service is configured to record page views and session counts, not form entries or calculator fields. The broker sees your click only after you leave this site, and it cannot see what you calculated before you left.

The broker is the only third party that will ask you for personal information, and it does so on its own pages under its own policy. FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA; confirm any broker on the SEC Nigeria register of capital market operators. That check is yours to make before you fund an account by bank transfer, card, e-payment or crypto. This site does not pass your details to the broker and does not receive your account information back from it.
