Privacy Policy

Welcome to Coral, an independent iGaming information and review resource operating exclusively under United Kingdom law. This Privacy Policy explains in plain, transparent terms how our website collects, processes, and protects any information obtained when visitors browse our pages. Our commitment is to handle all data responsibly and in full accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

It is important to understand from the outset that Coral is a purely informational affiliate platform. We do not offer gambling services, accept wagers, process financial transactions, or operate any form of user account or registration system. The sole purpose of our website is to provide editorial content, casino reviews, and guidance to adults interested in online gaming within Great Britain. By continuing to use this website, you acknowledge and accept the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect About You

Because our website does not require registration or login, we do not collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or payment details as a matter of course. However, like the vast majority of modern websites, certain non-personal technical data is gathered automatically when you access our pages. This includes your IP address (in anonymised form), browser type and version, operating system, referral URL, the pages you visit on our site, and the time and duration of your visit.

This technical information is captured passively through standard server logs and third-party analytics tools. It cannot, on its own, be used to identify you as an individual. We treat it strictly as aggregate, statistical data that helps us understand how our content is being consumed so that we can improve the user experience. No profiling or automated decision-making is carried out using this data.

In limited circumstances — for example, if you choose to contact us voluntarily via our listed email address — you may supply personal information such as your name or contact details. Any such information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not stored beyond the period reasonably necessary to address it. We will never sell, rent, or trade contact details supplied voluntarily to any third party.

How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Our website uses cookies for several legitimate purposes, including analytics, performance monitoring, and affiliate tracking. The table below summarises the main categories of cookies in use on our site:

You have the right to control which cookies are placed on your device. Most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that disabling certain cookies — particularly strictly necessary ones — may impair the functionality of some parts of our website. Blocking analytics cookies will not prevent you from accessing our content.

For detailed, independent guidance on managing cookies and protecting your online privacy, we recommend consulting the following resources:

• www.youronlinechoices.com — a European platform that explains behavioural advertising and allows you to opt out of interest-based cookies from participating companies
• www.allaboutcookies.org — a comprehensive, vendor-neutral guide covering what cookies are, how they work, and how to disable them across all major browsers

Where required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we seek your consent before placing non-essential cookies. Our cookie consent banner, displayed on your first visit, allows you to accept or customise your preferences at any time. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any point by revisiting our cookie settings.

How We Use the Data We Collect

The non-personal, anonymised data we gather through analytics and server logs serves a number of specific and legitimate operational purposes. Primarily, it enables us to understand which pages and articles attract the most interest, how visitors navigate between sections, and where technical issues may be causing poor user experiences. This insight drives our ongoing editorial and technical improvements.

We also use data to maintain the security and integrity of our website. Traffic analysis helps us detect anomalous behaviour that might indicate bot activity, denial-of-service attacks, or other threats to the stability of our platform. This protective use of data is in the interest of every visitor who relies on our site operating reliably.

Affiliate tracking data — generated when a visitor clicks a link to a licensed casino operator featured on our site — is used solely to attribute referrals correctly for commission purposes. This tracking is standard practice across the iGaming affiliate industry and does not involve sharing your personal identity with any third-party operator. The operator receives only a click reference, not any details that could identify you as an individual.

We do not use the data we collect for direct marketing, email campaigns, or targeted advertising directed at our own visitors. We do not build audience profiles for sale to data brokers or advertisers. All data use is proportionate, purposeful, and limited to what is described in this policy.

Our Legal Basis for Processing Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, any processing of personal or identifiable data must rest on a recognised legal basis. For the limited data processing activities carried out by our website, we rely primarily on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Our legitimate interests include operating a functional, secure, and commercially viable information website, and ensuring accurate affiliate attribution. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of our visitors, given that we process only anonymised technical data and do not engage in intrusive profiling.

For non-essential cookies — such as analytics and affiliate tracking cookies — we rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR) as our legal basis. Consent is obtained through our cookie banner before any such cookies are set, and you may withdraw your consent at any time without detriment. We maintain records of consent in line with our obligations under the PECR and UK GDPR.

Third-Party Services and External Processors

Our website integrates with a small number of carefully selected third-party services that process technical data on our behalf or in their own right. These services are industry-standard, widely used, and operate under their own robust privacy frameworks. Below is a summary of the key third-party processors associated with our website:

• Google Analytics — provides website traffic measurement and audience analytics. Google processes anonymised usage data on servers that may be located outside the United Kingdom. Google is certified under appropriate data transfer mechanisms. You can review Google’s privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Cloudflare — provides content delivery network (CDN) services and security protection including DDoS mitigation. Cloudflare may process IP address information as part of its security functions. More information is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Affiliate Networks — when you click a referral link on our site, affiliate tracking technology places a cookie that identifies the referral source. The operators linked from our site are required to hold licences from the UK Gambling Commission. You may review the Commission’s register of licensed operators at gamblingcommission.gov.uk.

We do not sell data to any of these third parties, nor do we grant them permission to use data collected via our site for their own marketing purposes beyond what is described above. All third-party processors with whom we work are required to handle data in a manner consistent with UK data protection law. We review our processor relationships periodically and update this policy accordingly.

For regulatory oversight, complaints, or enquiries about data protection standards in the United Kingdom, the relevant supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). You can contact the ICO and access further guidance at ico.org.uk.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

Our website contains affiliate links to licensed online casino operators and gambling platforms. When you click such a link and subsequently register or deposit with the linked operator, we may earn a commission. This is how we fund our editorial operations and maintain this free information resource. The presence of affiliate links does not influence the editorial integrity of our reviews — our recommendations are based on independent research and publicly available information.

All operators featured on our website through affiliate links are, to the best of our knowledge and at the time of publication, licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and legally permitted to offer their services to customers in Great Britain. We encourage all visitors to verify an operator’s licence status independently before registering. Affiliate relationships are disclosed transparently throughout our site.

It is important to note that clicking an affiliate link does not result in the sharing of any personally identifying information about you with the linked operator unless you choose to register directly with that operator. The affiliate cookie records only the click event and a referral identifier — not your name, location, or any other personal detail held on our side.

Data Security Measures

We take reasonable and proportionate technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data processed in connection with our website. Our site is served over HTTPS, meaning all data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. This encryption protects data in transit from interception by third parties.

We apply a principle of data minimisation: we collect only the data that is genuinely necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not store visitor data in databases beyond what is strictly required for analytics and security logging, and we do not create or maintain visitor profiles. Our hosting and CDN infrastructure is provided by reputable, security-certified providers.

Access to any data held in connection with our website is restricted to authorised personnel only. We do not operate a call centre, customer support database, or CRM system, which further limits the risk of data breach. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to individuals, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours in accordance with our obligations under the UK GDPR.

Data Retention Periods

As an informational website with no user accounts, our data retention obligations are limited. Server and analytics logs are retained only for as long as operationally necessary — typically no longer than 26 months — after which they are deleted or anonymised beyond recovery. This retention period aligns with standard analytics benchmarking windows and allows us to identify meaningful year-on-year trends.

Cookies set on your device persist for the durations detailed in the cookie table earlier in this policy. You may delete cookies stored on your device at any time through your browser settings. Voluntarily submitted contact information — such as an email sent to our support address — is retained only for as long as is necessary to handle your enquiry and any reasonable follow-up period, after which it is securely deleted.

We do not archive visitor data for historical purposes, sell data sets to third parties, or retain any information beyond its legitimate operational purpose. Our approach to retention is guided by the UK GDPR principle of storage limitation.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, individuals in the United Kingdom have a comprehensive set of rights with respect to their personal data. Although our website processes very limited personal data, we are fully committed to honouring these rights wherever applicable. Your rights include:

• Right of access — you may request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and, if so, a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure — in certain circumstances, you may request that we delete personal data we hold about you (the “right to be forgotten”).
• Right to restriction of processing — you may ask us to restrict how we use your data in specific situations defined by the UK GDPR.
• Right to data portability — where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes.
• Rights related to automated decision-making — you have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not carry out such processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to all valid requests within one calendar month in accordance with our statutory obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at any time if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.

Protection of Minors and Age Restrictions

Our website contains information relating to online gambling and casino gaming. Gambling is an activity restricted to adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom, and our content is intended solely for individuals who meet this age requirement. We do not knowingly collect data from, or direct content towards, anyone under the age of 18.

If you are under 18 years of age, you must not use this website or engage with any of the affiliate links contained within it. Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling-related content online. Useful tools and guidance are available from organisations including GamCare and BeGambleAware, both of which are supported by the UK Gambling Commission.

Should we become aware that a minor has submitted personal data to us — for example, via our contact email — we will take prompt steps to delete that information. If you believe a minor has interacted with our website in a way that has resulted in data being collected, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and act accordingly.

Links to External Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including licensed casino operators, regulatory bodies, and other iGaming resources. These links are provided for your convenience and information. Once you click an external link and leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or data handling of any external site, and we accept no responsibility for how those sites collect or use your information.

We recommend that you review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit before providing any personal information or interacting with its content. The fact that we link to an external resource does not constitute an endorsement of that site’s privacy or data protection practices. Our affiliate links to casino operators lead to sites that operate under separate licensing, regulatory, and data protection frameworks.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time in response to changes in applicable law, our business practices, or the services and technologies we use. When material changes are made, the revised policy will be published on this page with an updated effective date prominently displayed. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.

Continued use of our website following the publication of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes made to this policy, you should discontinue use of our website. Where changes affect how we process personal data provided to us voluntarily — such as contact enquiry details — we will take reasonable steps to notify affected individuals directly if this is practicable.
