This page explains the cookies Northmark (run by an individual) uses on this site, and the values we keep in your browser's storage (localStorage). Please also see the Privacy Policy and the External transmission notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of text saved in your browser when you visit a site. They are used to make the site work and to count how it is used.

nm_country | Cookie | Shows only the broker buttons available in your country | 7 days |
fxbc_cookie_consent | Browser storage | Remembers your cookie-settings choice (not sent to our servers) | Until you clear it or choose again |
| Theme choice | Browser storage | Remembers light or dark display | Until you clear it |

3. Partner links (marketing)
We do not show ads. After you click a partner broker's link, the broker's site may set its own cookies (to track the referral). Those cookies are covered by the broker's policy.
4. Cookie-free measurement
Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights count page views and page speed without cookies.
