1. Who We Are
This website, ritzo.io ("the Site," "we," "us"), is an independent affiliate review site that publishes information about online casinos. We are not an online casino and do not offer gambling services. When you click an affiliate link on our Site, you will be redirected to a third-party casino operator that is solely responsible for its own privacy practices.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our Site, our web server and any analytics services may automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address (anonymised where possible), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address.
2.2 Cookies and Local Storage
We use a small number of cookies and sessionStorage values to operate the Site. These include: age_confirmed — stores whether you have confirmed you are 18 or older, and sbar_off — stores whether you have closed the promotional bar. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party social media cookies.
2.3 Information You Provide
We do not operate registration forms, accounts, or contact forms on this Site. If you email us voluntarily, we may retain your email address and message solely to respond to your inquiry.
3. How We Use Information
We use automatically collected information to operate and improve the Site, understand aggregate traffic patterns, and detect security threats. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Affiliate Links
Our Site contains affiliate links that redirect you to third-party casino operators. When you click these links, the destination site may set its own cookies and collect personal information under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any casino you visit through our links.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party analytics services that collect anonymised usage data. These services process data on our behalf and are contractually prohibited from using it for their own purposes. We do not use Google Fonts or any external font-loading services.
6. Data Retention
Automatically collected server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days and then deleted. Cookie and sessionStorage values expire at the end of your browser session or when you clear your browser data.
