gates-of-olympus.co.uk is an independent information and review site covering the Pragmatic Play slot Gates of Olympus. We do not operate games, accept wagers, or open player accounts, so the amount of personal data we handle is deliberately small. This policy sets out, in plain English, what information passes through the site, the lawful basis on which we rely, how long anything is kept, and the rights you hold. It is written to meet the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who is responsible for your data
The editorial team behind gates-of-olympus.co.uk acts as the data controller for the limited information described below. If you have a question about anything on this page, the quickest way to reach us is the email address in the Contact section further down.
What information we collect
Because there is no registration, login, or checkout on this website, we never ask you to hand over a name, postal address, or payment details. The data that does arise falls into three narrow categories:
- Website analytics. We run Google Analytics so we can see how the site is performing as a whole. It reports things such as which pages are opened, the rough geographic region a visit comes from, the type of device and browser in use, and the website or search engine that referred you. These figures are aggregated and used to gauge popularity and spot pages that need fixing, not to single you out.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Small text files may be saved by your browser to support the analytics described above and to remember basic display preferences. None of them are needed to read the articles, and you can clear or block them whenever you wish.
- Outbound affiliate clicks. Some links lead to licensed casino operators, and a few of those relationships are commercial. When you follow one of these links you leave our site, at which point the operator and its tracking partners may log the visit and place their own cookies under their own privacy notices.
The lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR we rely on our legitimate interests to gather basic, privacy-respecting analytics: understanding audience behaviour at an aggregate level is necessary to keep an editorial site useful, accurate, and worth maintaining. We have weighed this against your interests and consider the impact minimal, since the measurement is statistical rather than intrusive and you remain free to opt out at any time using the methods set out below.
How analytics works and how to opt out
The analytics on this site follow a standard, light-touch model rather than building advertising profiles. If you would prefer not to be counted, you have several straightforward options:
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, or browse using a private/incognito window.
- Install Google's official Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops your activity being measured across sites that use the service.
- Use any tracking-protection or "Do Not Track" feature your browser offers.
Opting out will not change how the articles look or function; every page remains fully readable.
Affiliate links, in the open
We believe transparency matters, so we state plainly that certain casino links are affiliate links and may earn the site a commission if you go on to register or play. This never affects the price you pay or the impartiality of what we write, and you are under no obligation to use these links. Whatever data an operator collects after you click through is its responsibility, governed by the privacy policy published on that operator's own website.
How long we keep data
We hold information only for as long as it serves a genuine purpose. Aggregated analytics are retained according to Google Analytics' standard reporting windows and are reviewed periodically; anything no longer useful is discarded. If you email us directly, we keep that correspondence only for as long as is reasonably needed to deal with your enquiry, after which it is deleted.
Your rights under UK GDPR
The law gives you meaningful control over your personal data. In particular, you have the right to:
- request access to the personal data we hold about you;
- ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- request erasure of your data where there is no overriding reason to keep it;
- object to, or ask us to restrict, processing based on legitimate interests;
- request that data be transferred to you or another provider in a portable form.
To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us and we will respond within the timeframes the legislation sets.
Complaints and the ICO
If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled, we would like the chance to put things right, so please get in touch first. You also have the right to complain to the UK's independent regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which oversees data protection law. You can reach the ICO at ico.org.uk.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to create an account to use this site? No. There is no sign-up or login of any kind, so we never collect account credentials or personal profiles.
Will you ever sell my information? No. We do not sell, rent, or trade data, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles about you.
Are the analytics cookies compulsory? No. They are entirely optional, and declining them leaves every article fully accessible.
What happens when I click a casino link? You are taken off our site to a third-party operator, whose own cookies and privacy policy then apply rather than ours.
Who do I complain to if something goes wrong? Contact us first so we can help, and if you remain dissatisfied you can escalate to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
Where can I learn how the site is funded? Our about and terms pages explain the affiliate model and how independent editorial decisions are kept separate from commercial links.
