Privacy and what is stored

What happens to the numbers you type

The numbers entered into the calculators are never sent to a server. Position size, margin and pip-value calculations run in the browser on the reader's own device, so a lot size, an account balance or a reference gold price stays where it was typed. Nothing is logged, stored or transmitted by the desk.

That matters for a gold calculator, where a reader might enter an account size in AED alongside a XAU/USD price. Because the sum is done locally, the desk never sees it. The same applies to any figure typed into a form on the site that is marked as a calculator rather than a message.

Affiliate Tracking, Stated Without the Soft Words

This site earns money when a reader follows a link to FxPro and opens an account, and that is the commercial relationship behind the affiliate links. The tracking works by placing an identifier in a cookie at the moment you click the broker link; when you arrive at FxPro, that identifier tells FxPro the visit originated here. No payment is made by you for clicking, and the cost of trading at FxPro is set by FxPro, not by this site.

Affiliate tracking does not change the numbers on this page. The leverage cap of up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits, and the worked example that a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin at that cap, are stated the same whether you click a link or not. The reference price near 4275.0 is a market reference, not a quote from a partner. Nothing on this site is priced to favour a partner.

You can avoid affiliate tracking entirely by navigating to FxPro directly instead of through a link here, or by blocking affiliate cookies in your browser. Doing so does not remove any content or calculator from this site. The disclosure is placed here rather than buried because a reader deciding whether to open a trading account should know how the recommendation is funded before clicking, not after. Trading gold on leverage carries a real risk of loss regardless of how the link was followed.

What This Site Stores and What It Deliberately Does Not

This site stores only the settings you choose and the calculator values you enter during a session, and it does not store your name, email address, phone number, or any government identity document. The numbers you type into the position-size or margin fields are held in your browser for as long as the page is open so the calculator can update; they are not written to a server-side profile. Nothing is saved to an account because there is no account to save to on this site.

This site does not store payment details, bank account numbers, or card numbers, because it never processes a deposit. Funding a trading account happens on FxPro's own systems, not here, so card numbers and UAE bank transfer references are entered there and are outside this site's storage. We also do not store trading history, open positions, or account balances. If you see a figure on this site, it came from the number you typed or from a reference price shown on the page, not from a linked trading account.

This site does not build a profile of your trading experience, risk appetite, or the instruments you look at across visits. There is no login, no saved watchlist, and no persistent identifier that ties one visit to the next for content personalisation. The only things that persist between visits are the small preference and analytics items described in the cookies section, and those are not tied to your identity. Anything you want kept private should not be typed into a calculator field, because fields are for arithmetic, not for records.

The Four Cookie Types on This Site and What Each One Is For

This site uses four kinds of cookie: strictly necessary, preference, analytics, and affiliate-attribution. Strictly necessary cookies keep the page working, for example by remembering that a calculator result panel is open or that a consent choice has been made; without them the page can still load but some interactions reset. They carry no advertising purpose and are not used to follow you to other sites.

Preference cookies remember choices such as the currency display you selected, so a return visit does not start from the default. Analytics cookies record page views and which sections are read, in aggregate, so the site can tell whether a page answers the question it was written for. Affiliate-attribution cookies are set only when you click a link to FxPro; they record that the click came from this site so that any partnership credit is assigned correctly. They do not record what you do after you arrive at FxPro.

Each cookie type can be refused separately where the law requires a choice, and refusing analytics or affiliate cookies does not block the calculators. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off through the site because the page depends on them, but your browser settings can block or delete all cookies, at the cost of some features resetting. The affiliate-attribution cookie is the one most worth understanding: it exists to attribute a click, not to describe you, and it is scoped to the broker link rather than to the whole web.

Traffic counts and local storage

Only aggregate traffic is counted, so the desk can see which pages are read without identifying who read them. There is no profile built of an individual reader and no attempt to link a visit to a trading account. Local storage holds the reader's own preferences, such as a chosen unit or a dismissed notice, on the reader's device.

Local storage is not a server record and can be cleared from the browser at any time. Clearing it removes the saved preferences and nothing else, because the desk holds no account for a reader and no login exists on this site.

Children, Age Limits and Why This Site Is Not Built for Under-18s

This site is not intended for anyone under 18, and it is not written, structured or marketed for a younger audience. The subject matter is leveraged gold trading on XAU/USD, where one standard lot is 100 oz and a pip is 0.01, and where losses can exceed what a reader expected to risk. That is adult material in the practical sense: it assumes the reader can open a brokerage account in their own name and can be held to the terms of a regulated account. Nothing here is designed to appeal to or recruit a younger reader.

The site does not knowingly collect information from children, and there is no registration, no profile and no account on this site that a young person could create. Where a broker is concerned, the age and eligibility rules are the broker's own and are enforced at account opening through identity verification, not by anything on these pages. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted details somewhere connected to this site can use the contact route described in the rights section to have anything identifiable removed.

Practical guidance for households in the UAE is to keep trading platforms and broker credentials away from shared devices, because the risk sits with the account rather than with the reading. Leverage available in the UAE reaches up to 1:500 on standard forex accounts, within DFSA/SCA-compliant limits and varying by instrument, and that is a cap rather than a target; a young reader experimenting with a live account would be exposed to the same margin calls as an adult. Reading about risk is harmless. Trading it is not.

The Third Parties That Receive Anything From This Site

The third parties involved are limited to the analytics provider that counts page views, the content-delivery and hosting provider that serves the pages, and FxPro itself once you click a broker link. No advertising network, data broker, or social-media pixel is placed on this site. The hosting and delivery provider processes standard request data such as the page requested and the approximate region, which is unavoidable for any website to function.

FxPro receives information only after you choose to follow a link, and from that point the broker's own privacy notice governs what is collected, including any identity, residency, and funding details needed to open an account in the UAE. This site does not pass your calculator inputs to FxPro, because those inputs never leave your browser in a form tied to you. The analytics provider receives aggregate page-level events, not the numbers you typed into a field.

No third party receives your name or contact details from this site, because this site does not collect them. Where a third party is outside the UAE, standard contractual terms apply to the transfer, and the analytics data is aggregated before it is stored. The list of third parties is kept short on purpose: each additional party is another place where data could be held, and the site's design avoids adding them without a clear reason that is stated on this page.

How Long Anything Is Kept and What Actually Deletes It

Calculator inputs are kept only for the life of the browser tab and disappear when the tab is closed or the page is reloaded; nothing about them is retained afterwards. Preference and analytics cookies persist for a limited period set by the cookie itself, after which they expire automatically, and clearing cookies in your browser deletes them sooner. There is no archive of past calculator sessions to retrieve.

Aggregate analytics records are kept only as long as needed to understand which pages are read, and are then discarded or reduced to counts that cannot be linked to a visitor. Affiliate-attribution identifiers expire on the schedule set at the time of the click and are not renewed by this site. Where a legal or accounting obligation requires a record to be held longer, that obligation, not a marketing purpose, sets the period.

Deletion happens in three ways: by expiry when a cookie's set lifetime ends, by your browser when you clear site data, and by routine removal of aggregate analytics once its purpose is served. Closing the tab is enough to clear calculator inputs. If you want to be certain nothing remains on your device, clearing cookies and site data for this domain is the complete action, and it needs no request to the site.

Your Rights Over Anything Held About You and How to Exercise Them

You have the right to ask what personal data, if any, is held about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, and to object to analytics or affiliate tracking. Because this site does not collect names or contact details, in most cases the honest answer will be that no identifiable record exists, and you will be told that plainly rather than given a vague response. A request can be made by contacting the site through the contact route published on the site.

The fastest way to exercise control is in your own browser: clearing cookies removes preference, analytics, and affiliate identifiers stored on your device, and blocking third-party cookies prevents them being set again. Refusing analytics does not degrade the calculators, and refusing affiliate cookies does not hide any content. If you have already clicked a broker link, the record from that point sits with FxPro, and a request about it must go to FxPro under its own privacy notice.

Requests are answered within the period required by applicable UAE data protection law, and you will not be charged for a reasonable request. You also have the right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority if a response is unsatisfactory. This site does not sell personal data and does not use automated decision-making that produces legal effects, so there is no profile to opt out of in that sense; the rights that matter here are access, deletion, and objection to the tracking described above.

What Leaves Your Browser the Moment You Click a Broker Link

Following a broker link sends you off this site entirely, and what leaves your browser at that moment is the click itself plus whatever the destination broker chooses to collect on arrival. This site passes an affiliate reference so the broker can attribute the visit, and the broker then applies its own cookies, its own registration forms and its own identity checks under its own privacy notice. Nothing about your trading account, your documents or your funding details passes through this site first, because those steps happen on the broker's domain, not here.

The technical detail worth knowing is that the referral is carried in the link rather than in anything stored on your device by this site. When you land, the broker's page reads that reference and may write its own cookie to remember it. From that point the session belongs to the broker, and the rules that apply are the ones in its policy, not this one. If you want to see exactly what is set, open your browser's site data panel after landing and read the entries under the broker's domain name.

One practical consequence for UAE readers is that the broker you reach may be a different legal entity from the one you expected, and the entity serving this region is FxPro Global Markets MENA Ltd. The regulator caveat that applies is that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA. Read the broker's own privacy and data sections before you upload identification or link a local bank transfer, because that is the point where personal and financial data starts flowing to them and stops being anything this site can describe.

Analytics on This Site and the Measurements We Choose Not to Take

This site measures how pages are found and which ones are read, and it deliberately does not measure who you are. Aggregate counts tell us whether a page about margin on a 0.10-lot gold position at 1:500 leverage is reaching people who need it; they do not tell us your name, your account size, your broker balance or your location beyond a coarse region. The distinction matters because a trading site can easily collect far more than it needs, and the useful number here is nearly always a count rather than a profile.

What is not measured is the specific and the identifying: no recording of individual keystrokes in the calculators, no session replay of your screen, no building of a profile across other websites, and no attempt to tie a visit to a trading account anywhere. Numbers you type into a position-size or margin field are used to produce the figure on screen and are not shipped off as a record of your intentions. If a measurement cannot change a decision about which page to improve, it is not worth taking, and that test removes most of what analytics tools offer by default.

Where a measurement tool is used, it operates on aggregated events such as a page view or a link click, and the detail retained is deliberately shallow. Readers in the UAE should treat this as a description of intent rather than a promise about every third party a browser contacts, since your device, your network and any extension you have installed sit outside this site's control. If you want a harder guarantee, block scripts by default and allow them per site; the pages here remain readable with analytics switched off.

Broker cookies and third parties

A broker sets its own cookies under its own policy once a reader follows a link to it. That happens on the broker's site, not on this one, and the broker's privacy notice governs what is collected there, including any affiliate tracking that records which link was used. A reader who wants to know what a broker stores should read that broker's notice before opening an account.

The desk does not control those cookies and cannot delete them. Where a link on a page is an affiliate link, following it may cause the broker to record a referral; the reader's relationship, including any data protection rights, is with the broker from that point.
