Welcome to 05pence.co.uk ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, which provides reviews and information about non-GamStop Curacao-licensed casino sites. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below. This policy is drafted in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

• Cookies and tracking data: small data files placed on your device (see Section 3).
• Usage data: including pages visited, time spent on the site, referral sources, browser type, and device information, collected automatically through analytics tools.

We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age. This website is intended strictly for adults of legal gambling age.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Analytics: to understand how visitors use our website and to measure traffic and engagement.
• Affiliate tracking: to attribute referrals to third-party casino operators via affiliate links. This typically involves anonymised or pseudonymised tracking identifiers and cookies.

• Communication: to respond to enquiries you send to us.
• Legal compliance: to meet our obligations under applicable UK law.

We process personal data on the lawful bases of legitimate interest (site analytics and affiliate operations), consent (non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data.

3. Cookie Policy

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the basic functioning of the website. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: used to collect aggregated, anonymous statistics about site usage.
• Affiliate/tracking cookies: placed when you click an affiliate link, allowing third-party casino operators to recognise that you were referred by us.

Opt-out options: You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. You may also refuse non-essential cookies via any cookie consent banner presented on the site. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

4. Third-Party Links

This website contains affiliate links to third-party casino operators and other external websites, including casinos licensed in Curacao and other jurisdictions. When you click these links, you will be redirected to websites operated by third parties.

We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party websites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. Any personal information you provide to third-party casinos is governed by their own policies, not this one.
