PropFirmsFinder.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you interact with it.

3.1 Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies: These are required for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The site will not work correctly without them.

Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use PropFirmsFinder.com. We use tools like Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about page views, traffic sources, and user behavior. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Affiliate Cookies: When you click an affiliate link on our site, a cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate partner (for example, a prop trading firm). This cookie tracks whether you sign up or make a purchase, so that PropFirmsFinder.com receives the appropriate commission. These cookies are set by third parties, not by us.

Advertising Cookies: If we run advertising on the site in the future, advertising cookies may be used to deliver relevant ads and measure their effectiveness. We will update this policy before implementing any advertising cookies.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about site traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather information such as how often you visit the site, which pages you view, and what other sites you visited before arriving here.

Google Analytics does not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifying information through our implementation. The data collected is used solely to improve our content and site experience.

Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

5. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services

PropFirmsFinder.com participates in affiliate programs with proprietary trading firms. When you click on an affiliate link and complete a purchase or sign-up with a prop firm, we may earn a commission.

Clicking an affiliate link may redirect you to a third-party website. Once you leave PropFirmsFinder.com, you are subject to that third party's privacy policy and terms of service. We have no control over the data practices of external websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing personal information or completing a transaction.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Contact form submissions and emails are kept for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and maintain records of correspondence.

Analytics data is retained according to the default settings of the analytics tools we use (for example, Google Analytics retains data for 14 months by default, though this may vary by configuration).

If you request deletion of your personal data, we will comply within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain information.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through PropFirmsFinder.com. The site uses HTTPS encryption to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
