Where your data goes
Most of what your visit tells us fades fast: the server's note on a single page request is gone after 30 days, and we set no analytics or advertising cookies of our own. A click on a partner link is remembered differently and can carry some details to the casino side, so it helps to know which record does what before you follow one.

What gets counted about visits overall
We keep a running picture of traffic as a crowd, not of individual readers. The combined totals cover which browsers visit, which countries they come from when the delivery provider passes that on, which pages are read most, where visits begin and how many visits there are. No internet address goes into these totals, so they describe the shape of our audience rather than one person's path through the site. Precisely because nothing in them points back to a single visit, we hold them for longer than the individual server records. For you, the long-lived part of what we keep answers questions like whether a page about payout behaviour finds readers, and never who those readers were.
What does a single page request leave behind
Whenever your browser asks for a page, the server writes one technical entry about that request. It stores your internet address, the exact moment the request arrived, the address you asked for, the address of the page that sent you and the string with which your browser introduces itself. Where the delivery provider reports it, an approximate country worked out from the internet address is noted as well. If the address you opened carries campaign tags, those tags are stored together with the request, so a visit can be tied to the campaign that brought it. Each entry of this kind is kept for 30 days. For a reader who simply reads a few pages, this short-lived note is the closest thing to a footprint the visit leaves.
Who else handles your request on the way
No request reaches us directly. Between your device and our servers stand outside companies that supply the hosting and the delivery of the site, and they process each request on our behalf so that a page can appear on your screen at all. We do not name these providers. The practical consequence is that the journey your request makes is not ours end to end, and the technical details travelling with it pass through hands other than ours, even though those hands work for us. That is the ordinary plumbing of any website, and it applies to every visit here, whether you stay for a single page or for many.
What happens when you follow a partner link
Some of our pages link to casinos as partners, and following such a link may earn us a reward. If you click one, we record the event together with the page you clicked from, your country, your internet address and your browser string. The internet address and the browser string are erased after 90 days, while the record of the click itself stays on without them. The link may also pass details of the click onward to the partner, whether that is the casino itself or its affiliate programme: the address of the page you were reading, your country, the domain of our website and the address of the site you arrived from. Beyond that link sits an external website with its own rules and its own policies, and what happens to your data there is governed by those, not by anything we do.
Do we place any cookies ourselves
We place no cookies of our own for analytics or for advertising, so nothing from us sits in your browser as a small file that follows you from page to page or feeds an advertiser's picture of you. The records this site keeps are created when your browser asks for a page, on our side of the connection, not by something stored on your device. If you prefer to block cookies or clear them, that preference changes nothing about what a visit leaves behind here, because none of it depends on a cookie in the first place.
