5. Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain the state of interactive components (polls, quizzes, checklists) so your preferences persist across page refreshes. These are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to any server.

We also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of certain features.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

Philippine Casino Guide participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn commission when you click on certain casino links and sign up or make a deposit. This does not affect the price you pay and never influences our editorial recommendations.

Affiliate tracking is handled by third-party networks. These networks may place cookies on your device to attribute referrals correctly. Please review the privacy policies of individual affiliate networks for details on their data practices.

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process limited technical data:

• Cloudflare — CDN and security services. Cloudflare may process IP addresses for threat detection and caching.
• Google Analytics — Website traffic analysis (if enabled). Google processes anonymised usage data under its own privacy policy.

8. Data Retention

Server logs and analytics data are retained for 12 months, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymised. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry and for legal compliance, typically up to 3 years.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
