Welcome to theglossary.co (“The Glossary,” “we,” or “us”).
We’re an independent editorial and affiliate website that helps readers discover the best online and offshore sportsbooks with clear, fair, and responsible information. We review betting platforms, explain promotions, and share educational content about responsible gambling.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under U.S. privacy laws.
We collect minimal personal information necessary to operate our site and measure its performance:
Browsing and device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, and referral URLs.
Cookies and tracking IDs: Small text files or pixels used to recognize your device, remember preferences, measure site traffic, and track affiliate links.
Affiliate and ad tracking: Click IDs, UTMs, and anonymous event data when you click outbound links to sportsbook partners.
No sensitive data: We don’t collect or process sensitive personal information like health, biometric, or financial account data.
We don’t require user accounts, purchases, or registrations.
We use data only for legitimate site operations, including to:
Maintain and secure the website.
Analyze traffic and improve user experience.
Measure ad and affiliate performance (so we can get credit for referrals).
Prevent spam, fraud, or abuse.
Respond to lawful requests or protect our rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some tracking may qualify as “sharing” under certain U.S. privacy laws for ad measurement or analytics purposes.
Cookies help our site remember preferences, limit repetitive ads, and understand what content users find helpful.
You can control cookies through your browser settings or clear them at any time.
If you’re in a U.S. state with “Do Not Sell or Share” rights, you can email [email protected] to opt out. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals where feasible.
We use common analytics and ad tools (for example, Google Analytics) to understand visitor patterns and ad effectiveness.
Outbound links to sportsbooks may include tracking parameters that help us attribute referrals. When you click and sign up with a partner, we may earn a commission — but it doesn’t cost you extra.
Each third-party operator or advertiser sets its own privacy terms; please read their policies before sharing personal information.
We may share limited information with:
Service providers that host, analyze, or secure the site.
Ad and affiliate partners to track performance and verify commissions.
Legal or regulatory authorities when required by law or to prevent fraud.
We never sell data for money and only “share” information for analytics or advertising measurement purposes.
If you live in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you have the right to:
Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
Opt out of targeted advertising or “sharing” of data.
Request a copy (portability) of your personal information.
Appeal a denied request by emailing us with “Appeal” in the subject line.
To exercise your rights, contact [email protected]. We may ask for limited information to verify your request.
We don’t use or disclose sensitive personal information. We don’t discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.
We keep analytics and affiliate data only as long as needed — typically 12–24 months. Server logs are retained for up to 12 months for security.
We use HTTPS encryption, limited access, and routine updates to protect data. However, no online system is 100% secure.
This site is intended for adults 21+. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.
We link to sportsbook and advertiser websites. Their content and privacy practices are outside our control. Always review their terms and policies before sharing personal data.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent version. Major changes will be posted prominently on this page.
