Privacy & Cookie Policy
Your privacy matters even if it doesn’t always look like a straightforward thing in the gambling world. This page is here to paint the real picture of what’s happening with your data, how it’s handled, and what you can do about it.)
What Information We Collect
We collect a few types of information, some obvious, some less so. If you fill out a contact form, leave a comment, or subscribe to any updates, we get the details you provide, like your email address or name. On top of that, we (well, our software) automatically log technical data: browser type, device info, IP address, pages you visit, and sometimes if you allow it your rough location. Not everything here is personally identifying, but a lot depends on how you use the site and whether you interact with any features.
Third parties may also collect info through affiliate links, ads, or external plugins. More about that below…
How This Data Is Used
Mostly, it’s about running the site smoothly. Some data helps us answer your questions, some to analyze which reviews are actually useful and which just sit there unread. Technical info (your device, IP, etc.) keeps our systems secure and makes the site load properly. Sometimes, we look at overall trends for analytics (for example, how many people read mobile vs desktop). Individual details? Not so much unless there’s a specific reason, like helping you solve a problem you reported. We don’t send endless newsletters or random marketing offers unless you clearly opted in.
Cookies and Tracking Basics
Cookies… you know, those small files that websites save on your device. We use them for several reasons: keeping the site secure, remembering your preferences (like language or display settings), and making sure you don’t see the same popup three times in a row. Analytical cookies help us see which content works best. We don’t use cookies for aggressive advertising.
But and it’s a real but some cookies may come from partners or third-party tools (think analytics, affiliate programs, or embedded videos). They might set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link or interact with embedded content. We can’t control everything those parties do, but we try to work only with reliable platforms. Want details on who our partners are? Check our About page.
Types Of Cookies We Use
There are a few main categories:
- Essential cookies: keep the site working, make navigation possible, help with security. Disabling these can break things.
- Functional cookies: remember your preferences and settings but aren’t critical for basic site function.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand visitors’ behavior (no, we don’t personally track you).
- Affiliate & third-party cookies: sometimes get triggered if you click a partner link. Their use is covered by their own privacy policies.
Controlling Your Cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies with a few clicks. You can usually tweak settings to prevent certain types of cookies or to get notified when new ones are set. Blocking essential cookies might break parts of the site honestly, not ideal. If you want more control, check your browser help section or privacy plugins. We don’t force you to accept anything beyond what’s needed for the site to function.
Opting out of analytics/tracking is possible. Some cookies come from third parties, so you may need to adjust settings there, too.
Partners, Affiliates, and Third Parties
This site features affiliate links and sometimes embedded content or tools provided by our partners. If you click an affiliate link or interact with a third-party feature, those partners may collect their own data or set cookies on your device. Their use of data is covered by their own privacy policies (and, at times, their own tracking tools we don’t see or control everything they do). We aim to work only with reputable brands, but if you’re curious about them, see our About page for more insight. Sometimes we update our partners, so the info changes from time to time.
We don’t share your personal details with them unless you interact directly or click through a link. If you land on another site their rules apply, not ours.
Your Data Rights
Your data, your call. You have rights to access, correct, or even erase the information we hold about you (in most cases). If you’ve given consent for something and change your mind later, you can withdraw that consent. Just reach out if you want to see, change, or delete anything. We take these requests seriously, even if the process sometimes takes a bit longer than you (or we) would like.
If you’re in the EU or similar regions, you have specific rights under GDPR. But wherever you are, we do our best to treat all users’ data with respect.
Keeping Your Data Safe
We use various measures to secure your data technical, organizational, and sometimes just plain common sense. No system is impenetrable, but we don’t take shortcuts when it comes to keeping your info safe. Data is stored for as long as needed for the purposes described here (or as required by law), then deleted or anonymized. Sometimes legal or technical reasons require us to keep records a bit longer. We review storage periods regularly and aim not to keep unnecessary data lying around.
If you have specific concerns about security or want details about our storage practices, just ask. We don’t hide how things work behind fancy jargon.
Changes To This Policy
Policies change. We update this page if something significant changes in how we handle your data, cookies, or partners. Notice might be via this page or, if it’s a really major shift, by a visible banner or similar. Recommended: check this policy once in a while. If you keep using the site after updates, you agree to the new terms. If anything feels off reach out, let’s talk.
