Affiliate links and conversion tracking
How affiliate tracking works
Some links to brokers are affiliate links. When you follow one, the broker's website may set its own cookies or use a referral code so it can tell that you came from FX Recap and pay us a commission if you open an account. That tracking happens on the broker's site, under the broker's cookie and privacy policies, and does not change the price or terms you get.
See our affiliate disclosure for how these relationships work.
