When you visit our site with tracking parameters in the URL, we store this data in a cookie 2. If you click through to a sportsbook or casino, we pass relevant tracking data to our affiliate partner 3. If you register or deposit with the operator, this helps attribute the referral to us **What We Do NOT Track:** • Your betting activity on third-party sites • Your account balance or financial information • Personal details you provide to operators • Specific bets or wagers you place **Your Rights:** • You can delete the _igtrack cookie at any time through your browser • Deleting this cookie before clicking affiliate links means the referral won't be attributed to us • This does not affect your ability to use third-party sportsbooks or casinos
