Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.
Third-party cookies: Our partners (e.g., analytics providers, affiliate networks, casino sites you visit after leaving us) have their own policies that govern how they use cookies and data.

Service providers (hosting, CDN/security, analytics) under data-processing terms.

Affiliate/advertising partners (pseudonymous click/attribution data when you follow outbound links).

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for direct marketing.

Your data may be processed outside your country (e.g., EU/EEA, UK, US). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and provider certifications.
7) Retention
-
Server and security logs: typically ~90 days (longer if needed to investigate incidents).
-
Analytics: retained in aggregate or pseudonymous form per provider defaults.
-
Affiliate attribution: retained by partners per their policies; we keep only minimal data necessary for reconciliation.
-
Emails you send us: kept only as long as needed to respond and for short-term archiving, then deleted.
8) Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (encrypted transport, hardened hosting, access controls). No system is 100% secure.
