What are cookies?
A cookie is a small amount of information that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. We use a number of different cookies on the GoldenHomeMOP.com website, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising and social media or content cookies. Cookies improve your browsing experience by allowing the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don't have to re-enter this information every time you return to the site or navigate from page to page. Cookies also provide information about how people use the website, for example whether it is their first visit or whether they are frequent visitors. Read more about cookies (and other similar tracking technologies) and how we use data collected through these technologies in our Privacy Policy.
What cookies do we use and why?
Some cookies are necessary to enable you to navigate our website, use its features and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the website to function. For example, we use user input cookies during a session to track user input when filling out forms.
We also use functional cookies to remember choices you make or information you provide, such as your username, language or region. This allows us to customize your experience on the site based on your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent if you accept the "remember me" feature) to allow users to log in on subsequent visits or to access authorized content on different pages. The functional cookies we use include:
- User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, such as repeated failed authentication attempts. These cookies are set to increase the security of the service.
- Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) used during a session to store technical data necessary to play video or audio content (for example, image quality, network connection speed and buffer parameters) .
- Load balancer session cookies used during the session to identify the same server in the pool so that the load balancer can redirect requests accordingly.
- Persistent user interface personalization cookies used to store user preferences regarding a service on web pages.
GoldenHomeMOP.com is dedicated to optimizing the user experience and we use many tools to help us improve our website and trading platform. For this purpose, we use reporting and analysis cookies to collect information about how you use our site and how often. The performance cookies we use include:
- First-party analytics cookies - we use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve the site and to detect the most searched words in search engines that lead to a web page. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. We use them to learn how the site performs and to make relevant improvements to improve your browsing experience.
- Third-party analytics cookies - we also use Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers listed below to help measure how users interact with our website content. These cookies "remember" what our users have done on previous pages and how they interacted with the site. For more information about Google Analytics, visit the Google information page. For instructions on how to opt out of Google Analytics, see below.
Advertising cookies are used on our website to tailor marketing to you and your interests and to provide you with a more personalized service in the future. These cookies remember that you have visited our site and we may share this information with third parties such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device's visits to our site and other sites, they usually cannot identify you personally. Without these cookies, the ads you see may be less relevant and interesting to you.
Finally, social media and content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (e.g. the Facebook "like" button) and other tools designed to provide or improve content on a website ( for example, services that enable the playback of video files or that create comment sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our sites. Please note that some of these third-party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioral advertising, analytics and/or market research.
