Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 29.09.2026
BrokerCatalogue.com (“BrokerCatalogue”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a free, independent information and comparison platform for forex brokers and related services.
To keep the Website free for users, we may work with partners, advertisers, and affiliate programs. This page explains how we make money, how affiliate links work, and how this affects (or does not affect) our editorial content and rankings.
This Disclosure should be read together with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and General Disclosures.
1. How BrokerCatalogue Makes Money
BrokerCatalogue may receive compensation when you interact with certain links, buttons, or promotions on our Website. This can include:
- Clicking on a link to a third-party platform (e.g. forex broker, prop firm, trading platform, or service)
- Signing up, depositing, or completing other qualifying actions after visiting a platform via our link
- Viewing or interacting with sponsored placements or ads shown on our pages
Compensation models may include, for example:
- Cost-per-action (CPA)
- Revenue share
- Cost-per-mille (CPM) or display advertising
- Flat fees for sponsored placements or collaborations
This compensation helps us:
- Cover hosting, development, research, and content creation costs
- Maintain and improve tools, comparisons, and reviews
- Keep the Website free for users
We do not charge users for accessing our listings, reviews, or guides.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special link that allows a third-party platform to recognize that you reached their site via BrokerCatalogue.
If you:
- Click an affiliate link on BrokerCatalogue, and
- Visit a third-party platform (for example, a forex broker), and
- Register, trade, deposit, or take another qualifying action,
the platform may pay us a commission or other compensation.
Important points:
- Affiliate links do not cost you anything extra. In many cases, users receive the same or better terms (e.g. reduced spreads, fee discounts, or promotions where permitted) compared to visiting the platform directly.
- Compensation received via affiliate links does not change the fees you pay to that third-party platform, unless explicitly stated as a discount or promotion.
You should always assume that any commercial link on the Website may be an affiliate link.
3. Sponsored Content and Advertising
In some cases, we may display:
- Sponsored placements (e.g. a broker highlighted in a “sponsored” slot)
- Sponsored articles, banners, or collaborations
When content or placements are sponsored, we aim to:
- Clearly label them with terms such as “Sponsored”, “Advertisement”, “Partner”, or similar wording
- Keep sponsored placements visually distinguishable where possible
Sponsored content should not be confused with our purely editorial content. Even when we work with sponsors, we aim to maintain factual accuracy and transparency.
4. Editorial Independence and Rankings
Our goal is to provide honest, data-driven, and useful information about brokers and platforms.
To support this, we:
- Develop and maintain review and ranking criteria based on factors such as regulation, spreads and fees, execution, platforms, user experience, and support
- Aim to evaluate platforms consistently according to these criteria
- Strive to keep core data and analysis independent from commercial deals
However, compensation may influence where and how certain partners appear, for example:
- A partner broker may be featured more prominently in certain comparison tables or sections
- Some partners may appear in “top” or “recommended” lists with clear “Sponsored” or “Partner” labels where applicable
Some things are never for sale. Money never changes a score or the licence details we show for a broker. Our prop firm rankings follow the AI Visibility Index, and no firm can pay to change its place in it. Sponsored placements are always labelled. Our prop firm data page and its files have no partner links.
We do not guarantee top rankings or positive reviews in exchange for compensation. If a platform performs poorly on our core criteria or becomes unsafe or non-compliant, we may:
- Lower its ranking
- Add warnings or flags
- Remove it from certain pages altogether even if we previously had or still have a commercial relationship with that platform.
For more detail on how we review and rank platforms, please refer to our Editorial Policy.
5. Third-Party Tracking, Cookies & Analytics
Affiliate programs and advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Track when you click a link on BrokerCatalogue and later perform an action on a third-party site
- Attribute signups or transactions to our Website so they can calculate commissions
This may involve:
- Setting cookies when you click certain links
- Redirecting through tracking URLs
- Using pixels or tags on external sites (controlled by the third party)
We do not control how third-party platforms set or use their cookies. You can learn more about how we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies in our:
Where required by law (for example, in the EU/UK), we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, including analytics and certain affiliate tracking cookies.
6. No Investment, Legal, or Tax Advice
Even if we have affiliate or advertising relationships with certain platforms, nothing on BrokerCatalogue should be interpreted as:
- Personalized investment advice
- A recommendation to use, buy, sell, or hold any specific asset or service
- Legal, tax, or regulatory advice
Our content is for information and education only. You are solely responsible for your decisions and should always perform your own research and consult qualified professionals where needed.
Please read our Risk Disclosure and General Disclosures for more information on risks and disclaimers.
7. Conflicts of Interest
Because BrokerCatalogue may receive compensation from some of the platforms we list or review, potential conflicts of interest can arise.
To manage these:
- We aim to apply the same core evaluation criteria to all platforms, whether they are partners or not.
- We may clearly label sponsored or partner placements where they appear.
- We reserve the right to change scores, rankings, or recommendations if new information arises (for example, regulatory actions, license revocations, or major policy changes), regardless of any commercial arrangements.
If you ever feel that a particular ranking or review appears inconsistent or unclear, you are welcome to contact us and share your feedback.
8. Your Choices
You are under no obligation to click any affiliate link or use any platform we mention.
You can:
- Search for platforms directly instead of using our links
- Block or delete cookies in your browser
- Adjust your cookie preferences via our cookie banner or settings (where available)
We encourage you to choose the brokers and services that best fit your needs, risk tolerance, and legal obligations, regardless of whether they are our partners.
9. Changes to This Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure from time to time, for example:
- When we add or change affiliate and advertising relationships
- When laws or regulatory guidance change
- When we adjust how we label or present sponsored content
