What this page keeps, and where

On your device, and nowhere else.

“Start over” on your path clears it, and so does clearing this site’s data in your browser. What else the site keeps on your device is listed at Display and privacy preferences.

01
Nothing personal is asked.
The five questions are about what you have read and tried so far. There is no name, no e-mail address, no country and no question about money.
02
The answers are not kept.
They are used once, in your browser, to suggest a path. They are not stored and nothing is sent to GIO4X.
03
Your place stays on this device.
The path you choose and the pages you tick are kept in this browser’s own storage. Another device, or a cleared browser, starts fresh. The page works without storage too; it then forgets when you leave.
04
A tick means a page was read.
It is not a mark, and a finished path is not a qualification. Reading about trading does not make anyone ready to trade.

An order to read in, for study. It is not advice or a recommendation, and it does not say that anyone who follows it is ready to trade.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
