This Cookie Policy explains how Fractional Exchange ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at fractionalexchange.co.uk (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Fractional Exchange) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, payment processing, and social media integration.
