We use cookies on casinocaves.com. A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser. For full details of every cookie we use, please see our Cookie Policy. In summary:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function — cannot be disabled
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 — anonymised traffic data, opt-out available
• Affiliate tracking cookies: Track clicks to casino partners for commission purposes
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings (e.g. cookie consent choice)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings or our cookie consent banner. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.

We share data with a limited number of trusted third parties, all of whom process data on our behalf under data processing agreements:

• Google Analytics: Anonymised traffic analysis — Google Privacy Policy
• WordPress / Hosting Provider: Website hosting and content management
• Email service provider: Processing contact form submissions
• Affiliate networks: Click tracking for casino partner referrals

We do not share your personal data with casino operators, advertising networks or data brokers. We do not sell your data under any circumstances.

CasinoCaves earns revenue when you click an affiliate link to a casino and sign up. When you click such a link, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser so the casino’s affiliate programme can attribute the referral to us.

This tracking is limited to the referral event. We do not receive any personal data from casino operators about your account, gameplay, deposits or withdrawals. The data flow is one-way: the casino knows you came from us, but we do not learn anything about what you do after clicking.

All affiliate links on CasinoCaves are disclosed. Pages with affiliate content carry a “sponsored” or “affiliate” disclosure notice.

• Contact form submissions: Retained for 2 years from the date of submission, then deleted
• Analytics data: Retained for 14 months in Google Analytics (anonymised)
• Consent records: Retained for 3 years from the date of consent for compliance purposes
• Server logs: Retained for 90 days for security purposes, then deleted
• Affiliate tracking cookies: Expire within 30–90 days depending on the affiliate programme

When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request deletion of your data where there is no lawful basis to retain it
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, email compliance@casinocaves.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you are in the UK, or your national data protection authority if you are in the EU.

CasinoCaves is an online gambling review website. Our content is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please contact compliance@casinocaves.com immediately and we will delete it without delay.

Some of our third-party service providers (including Google Analytics) may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions recognised under UK GDPR or EU GDPR.
