Information We Collect

We may collect your name and email address when you contact us or subscribe to updates. We also automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device information, cookies, and usage data (including pages visited, time spent, and referral sources) to help us operate and improve the website.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for analytics and performance monitoring, to track affiliate clicks and conversions via cookies, to improve site functionality and content, and to respond to enquiries. Legal bases under UK GDPR include legitimate interests, consent (where required), and performance of a contract.

Cookie Policy

We use essential cookies for site operation, analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand visitor behaviour, and affiliate tracking cookies that record your visits to third-party bookmaker sites. You can opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser settings or our cookie consent banner. Blocking affiliate cookies may affect our ability to earn commissions but will not limit your access to content.

Third-Party Links

This website contains links to external bookmaker and affiliate websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information. We do not control how they collect, use, or share your data.

If you are located in the UK or EU, you have rights under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability. If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, such as the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within one month.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Affiliate tracking data is typically kept for up to 30 days, while analytics data is anonymised or deleted after 26 months. Enquiry emails are kept for up to 12 months unless a longer period is required by law.
