Privacy and Cookie Policy

This policy covers uk-pixiesoftheforrest.com and nothing beyond it, which matters because the moment you click through to a casino their terms replace ours entirely and we lose all visibility of what follows. On our side the collection is deliberately thin, limited to what a website genuinely needs in order to function, and none of it has ever been sold or offered for sale.

Information the server records

Opening a page leaves behind the ordinary technical footprint that any web server produces, meaning an IP address, the browser and device you arrived on, a timestamp and the list of pages you viewed. We hold that for security and stability reasons, which in practice means spotting attacks and working out why something broke. Retention is short. The exception would be an incident serious enough to warrant keeping the logs longer, and even then nobody goes through them trying to establish who an individual visitor was.

Cookies we set

The necessary ones handle basic functions and include, slightly circularly, the record of whatever you decided about cookies. They load alongside the page without asking, since the site misbehaves without them, and they record nothing about where else you have been.

Statistics cookies stay dormant until consent arrives. After that they report which pages people actually read, how long a visit runs and the point at which readers tend to abandon a page halfway through, and it is usually that last number that tells us something needs rewriting. The figures reach us aggregated, so no individual profile is built at any stage.

A partner cookie may be set when you follow one of our links to a listed casino, recording that the visit originated here so the referral gets credited to us rather than to somebody else. What it identifies is the website, not the person reading it. Declining the optional categories leaves every page on the site perfectly readable, which is worth saying because people assume otherwise.

Controlling cookies yourself

Every modern browser already handles this through its privacy settings, where cookies can be viewed, blocked or deleted either for one site or across everything at once. Consent given here can be withdrawn through the cookie notice at any point, though the change applies from your next visit rather than retroactively. Blocking the lot costs you a few minor conveniences and none of the content.

Messages you send us

When you write to us we receive your email address along with whatever you chose to include, and it gets used for one purpose, which is answering you. Conversations that have run their course are deleted unless a legal duty requires otherwise. One request, though it should go without saying. Passwords, full card numbers and casino login credentials have no place in a message to us, partly because we never ask for them and partly because there is nothing we could do with them if we had them.

Your rights under UK law

The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 entitle you to ask what we hold about you, to have inaccurate information corrected, to request deletion in the circumstances the law allows, and to object to certain kinds of processing. Requests go to [email protected] and we answer within a month, usually sooner. Should the answer fail to satisfy you, the Information Commissioner’s Office accepts complaints at ico.org.uk, and that route remains open to you whatever we happen to think about the matter.

Who handles the data

Access is limited to the four people on our editorial team, and nobody outside that group is given credentials for the systems involved. Technical logs pass through our hosting provider, who processes them on our behalf under a contract that prohibits any use of their own, which is the standard arrangement behind more or less every website you have ever visited.

Data here is not sold, rented or handed over to advertisers at any point. The one circumstance in which anything leaves is a legal requirement such as a court order, and disclosure in that case extends only as far as the order itself reaches.

Children

Nothing on this site is intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from a minor. A parent who suspects their child has sent us something should write to the address above, and once we have verified the situation the message gets deleted.

Changes to this policy

Legislation moves and websites change, so this text gets revised to keep pace with both, and whichever version appears on this page is the one that applies. A glance on some later visit is worth the thirty seconds it costs. The date of the most recent revision sits in the footer.
