Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Non GamStop Guide UK, published at shockcone.co.uk, handles when you read our pages about casinos operating outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. It is written for UK readers and follows the principles of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What We Collect
We do not ask you to register, deposit or create an account. The data involved is limited to:
- Technical logs: your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, recorded automatically by our hosting provider for security and fault-finding.
- Analytics: aggregated figures such as which explainer pages are read most, used to decide which topics need clearer coverage.
- Messages you send: if you email us, we keep your address and message only for as long as needed to reply.
Cookies and Outbound Links
Some pages link to third-party gambling operators. If you click through, that operator may set its own cookies or tracking parameters, and its own privacy terms apply from that point. We cannot see your account details, deposits or play history with any operator. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to keep the site running, to measure readership in aggregate and to answer correspondence. We do not sell personal data, and we do not build individual gambling profiles.
Retention and Your Rights
Server logs are kept for a limited period before deletion. You have the right to request access to, correction of or erasure of personal data we hold, and to object to processing. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
A Note on Safer Gambling
If you have registered with GamStop and are reading about sites outside the scheme, consider free, confidential support from GamCare (0808 8020 133) or BeGambleAware before going further.
Changes
This policy may be revised when our tools or legal obligations change. The current version always appears on this page.
