Country and broker routing

So that we show you the broker who may actually serve you, some pages read your IP address and derive only your country from it. The address is not stored, not logged and not passed on: it is read, turned into a two-letter country code and discarded immediately. The lookup runs locally on our server against the IP to Country Lite database by DB-IP (CC BY 4.0); no third party is queried. The basis is our legitimate interest in not sending a signup to a broker who is not permitted to act in that country.
