Cookie Policy
How this independent review site uses cookies, why they are there, and what changes if you turn them off.
Sponsor's spreadsA Look at One Visit
You open an article on this site comparing Plus500's features for Nigerian readers, scroll through it, then close the tab. In the background, a small text file may have been saved to your browser so the page loads correctly and so the visit can be counted in aggregate. Nothing about that is unusual, and it is a fair starting point for understanding what happens here.
P500brokerng.com is an independent editorial resource. It reviews Plus500 for readers in Nigeria, but it is not Plus500, it is not affiliated with Plus500, and it does not offer financial services, trading accounts, deposits or advice of any kind. That distinction matters for this policy: the cookies described below belong to a publishing site, not to a broker, and they are not used to open an account, move money, or place any order.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser when you visit a page. Some are set by this site itself; others come from services the site relies on to function and to understand how readers use it. The sections that follow explain each kind, how long it stays, and what happens when you refuse it.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are the cookies without which the site cannot work as intended. They keep a page stable while it loads, remember choices you make within a session, and help protect the site against misuse. They are set because the site needs them, not to build a profile of you.
They are also short-lived by design. Most expire when you close the browser, and the remainder last no longer than a few hours or, at most, a few days where a setting needs to survive a return visit. They do not track you across other websites and they are not shared for advertising purposes.
Because these cookies are essential, refusing them is possible through your browser settings, but the effect is immediate: pages may fail to load properly, forms may not submit, and your preferences may reset on every visit. The site will not stop you from reading, but parts of it may simply not behave as they should.
Measurement and Analytics
This site uses analytics cookies to learn which articles readers open, how far they read, and which pages they leave quickly. The purpose is editorial: knowing that a comparison page is confusing or that a guide is being found and finished helps decide what to revise and what to leave alone. The data is looked at in aggregate, not to identify you personally.
Lifetimes vary by type. Session-based analytics cookies last only for the visit and expire when the browser closes. Persistent ones typically remain for somewhere between a few months and about two years, depending on the tool, so that returning visits can be recognised as such rather than counted as new. Some analytics setups refresh their expiry each time you visit.
If you refuse these cookies, nothing on the page breaks. Articles still load, links still work, and you can read everything the site publishes. What is lost is the site's own picture of how it is being used: the editors see less about which pages help readers and which do not, and improvements become slower and more guesswork-based. Analytics may also fall back to counting visits without cookies, which gives rougher numbers.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by services the site uses rather than by the site directly. These can include analytics providers, services that help pages load quickly, and tools that embed content such as video or fonts. Each of those providers sets its own cookies under its own policy, and their lifetimes are outside this site's direct control, though they are typically measured in months rather than years.
This site does not set advertising cookies of its own, and it does not sell reader data. Where a third-party cookie appears, it exists because a service is needed to display or measure the site. You can block third-party cookies in your browser without affecting the editorial content, though embedded elements such as video may stop appearing.
Questions about this policy, or about how cookies are used here, can be sent through the contact form on this site. Because this is a review resource and not a broker, requests about a Plus500 account, a deposit, or a trading position cannot be handled here and should go to Plus500 directly.
