Cookies and Tracking Choices
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Pixels and similar technologies help us and our partners understand how you interact with the Website and whether you visited a partner site after clicking a link.
You can manage cookies in several ways:
-
Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies.
-
Do Not Track: We may not respond to all “Do Not Track” signals, but we do honor certain Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” where required by law.
-
US privacy opt-out: If you are in a US state with enhanced privacy rights (such as California), you can email us at [email protected] with “Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line. We will treat this as an opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and affiliate measurement, to the extent applicable.
Please note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Website function.
Advertising, Analytics, and Affiliate Links
We may use:
-
Analytics tools (for example, commonly used web analytics platforms) to measure traffic and understand how visitors use our content.
-
Advertising technologies such as ad networks or programmatic ad placements that may use cookies or similar tracking to show more relevant ads and limit repetition.
-
Affiliate links, which are outbound links to third-party casino or gaming sites that include tracking parameters so those partners know you came from our Website. When you sign up or play with those partners, we may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you.
These third parties may collect or receive information about your browser or device when you visit our Website or interact with our content. We do not control their technologies or practices; you should review their privacy policies for more details.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in the following limited ways:
-
Service providers: With trusted vendors who help us operate the Website (such as hosting providers, analytics services, security/anti-fraud tools). They may only use the data as needed to provide services to us.
-
Advertising and affiliate partners: With networks and platforms that provide analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking, to measure performance and attribute referrals.
-
Legal and safety: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public.
We may “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and measurement under certain state laws, but we provide an opt-out as described above.
