What we record from a visit

The server record

• Every request produces a server record holding the requested address, the time, the browser string, the referring page address and the IP address.
• Each such record is kept for 30 days.
• Where the delivery provider reports it, the record also takes in an approximate country worked out from the IP address.
• If the page address carries campaign tags, we store them along with the request.

Aggregated visit statistics

• Figures combined across many visits outlive the individual server records, and no IP address goes into them.
• The combined figures cover the browsers used, the number of visits, the sources of visits and the most popular pages.
• Countries join the combined figures when the delivery provider reports them.

Cookies

We set no analytics cookies and no advertising cookies. Analytics cookies are the small files some sites use to follow what a reader does from page to page, and advertising cookies are the ones tied to serving ads; you will find neither kind here, because this website simply does not place them. Everything we hold about a visit comes from server-side records and click entries, not from anything your browser stores on your device. So clearing cookies or browsing in a private window changes nothing about what we record; it only affects your own browser. If either type appears after your time here, it did not come from us.

Affiliate link clicks

Some of the links on our pages are affiliate links, and the casinos behind them are external websites with their own rules and policies. Once you arrive through one, what happens on the casino side is governed by that casino's rules and policies alone. On our side, following an affiliate link is an event we record. The entry for the click holds the browser string, the country, the page and the IP address. Then, after 90 days, the IP address and the browser string are erased. The record of the click itself stays, only without those two details. That erasure matters because an IP address together with a browser string can point to one particular visitor; once both are gone, the entry no longer does. What remains is the bare click: the page it left and the country it came from. Only following an affiliate link creates such an entry, so simply reading our pages never produces one.

Data passed to the partner side

An affiliate link can do more than send your browser to a casino. When you follow one, it may pass data about the click to the partner, the casino or its affiliate programme. What can travel with that click is the address of the website you came from, your country, the domain of this website and the address of the page you were reading. It helps to know that some of our pages link to casinos as partners, and that following such a link may earn us a reward. The same click that carries those details onward can therefore also be worth something to us. Taken together, this means the casino side can learn which of our pages you left from and which country you were browsing in, and it learns this as the click happens. If you would rather not pass those details on, the decision that matters is whether to follow the link at all.

Infrastructure providers

None of this handling is a job we do alone. Every request you send reaches this website through infrastructure providers, the outside companies that supply the hosting and the delivery. Those providers process the requests on our behalf as they pass between your browser and our side. The providers themselves are not named.
