Privacy policy
At TradingBeasts.com, we’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, why we need it, what we do with it and what are your rights.
What information we may collect
We collect only information we truly need. Most of the information we collect is for analytics reasons, which means we collect geographical location, language, type of device you’re using, screen resolution and other related information that help us to understand, you, the audience. Knowing this information, we are able to tailor the content and provide you with the information for which you were most likely looking.
Why we collect this information
All information we collect helps us improve our services to you. The basic information about the location from which you access our website, the language which is your native, the screen resolution you have etc. is collected by us only for analytic purposes.
Do you collect any personal data?
The only data that can be considered personal which we collect is your IP address. We do not collect any other personal data such as your name, your e-mail address etc.
- Google Analytics Google Analytics uses your IP address to determine your approximate location and to detect spam and bot traffic, and then discards it. Your IP address is not logged or stored by Google Analytics. You can read more about how Google Analytics handles data here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207
- MaxMind GeoLite2 We use the MaxMind GeoLite2 Country database to determine which country your IP address is associated with, which helps us deliver content and offers relevant to the location where you reside. This lookup is carried out locally on our own server using a database file we download from MaxMind, which means your IP address is not sent to MaxMind or to any other third party. We determine only the country, never a city, address or household. This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.
Who has access to your personal information?
Country detection is carried out on our own server, so your IP address is not sent to a third party geolocation provider. Your IP address and cookie identifiers are accessible to the following third party services running on our website. Each acts as an independent controller of the data it collects and processes it under its own privacy policy:
- Google, for website analytics through Google Analytics and for personalized advertising through Google AdSense
- Meta, through the Facebook features embedded on our pages
These services are only loaded where you have given consent for the relevant cookie category. Both are based outside the European Economic Area, which means your data may be transferred to and processed in other countries.
If you contact us by email, we will have access to your email address and the content of your message, which we keep only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.
What cookies do we save?
We do not save any cookies that record your name, email address or other directly identifying details. We would still like to take the time to share with you what cookies are being used on the website, including those set by third parties that can recognize your browser across visits.
We use cookies to measure the number of visits to our website, for which we use Google Analytics 4. Google Analytics uses your IP address to determine your approximate location and to detect spam and bot traffic, and then discards it. It is not logged or stored. Google Analytics does, however, set a cookie containing a randomly generated identifier that allows it to recognize your browser on return visits. You can read about the cookies Google Analytics uses here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11397207
We also use cookies to personalize ads on our website with the help of Google Adsense. More information about Google Adsense cookies are to be read here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Cookies are also used by Facebook that is run on our website. Facebook cookies have the following names: datr, fr, locale, sb, wd, x-src and cme from the domain .facebook.com. The purpose of these cookies is to localise the user and bring him the correct language version, allowing him to give "likes" on pages and share posts. Detailed information about the Facebook cookie policy is located here - https://www.facebook.com/policy/cookies/.

In order to comply with the GDPR rules set by the EU, you will see on you your first visit to our website a form that will allow you to change preferences about the cookies we save when you browse through our website.
