What we keep and pass on

Combined visit statistics retention

Combined visit statistics outlast the individual server records. They combine visits instead of keeping each visit separate. They contain no IP addresses. A source is where a visit came from. The totals cover those sources and the number of visits. They cover countries and the times the delivery provider reports them. A country is not typed in by the reader. It enters the totals when the delivery provider reports it. Browsers and popular pages sit in the same totals. Popular pages are the pages that draw the most visits. The practical effect is simple. The long-running view is a count of traffic. It is not a named trail of one reader. It still says where visits came from and which pages drew attention. For a reader, the longest-kept numbers are the least individual.

Affiliate click record retention

Following an affiliate link creates a click record. The record stores the country, the browser string, the IP address and the page. The page is the Bonus Buy Slots page that held the link. An IP address is the network address used for the request. A browser string is the identifier the browser sends with it. Those details mark the click as it arrived. After 90 days the IP address and browser string are erased. The click record remains without them. The page and country stay in the record. So the event can still be recognised as a click. After erasure, the click is still a click with less detail. It no longer carries the network address or the browser string. The removed parts are the parts that pointed most directly to the visitor's setup.

Affiliate click data transfer

An affiliate link can pass click data onward. The transfer is possible, not a certainty. The transfer can go to the partner, a casino or its affiliate programme. The data can include the page address and the reader's country. The page address identifies the Bonus Buy Slots page involved. The reader's country is the country recorded for the click. The data can also include the address of the site the reader came from. That address is the route into Bonus Buy Slots. The domain of Bonus Buy Slots can be sent as well. The point for the reader is direct. Following the link is the moment when that data may leave with the click. The reader is not only opening a casino page. The click can carry the context of the route there.

Partner links and external casinos

• Some pages carry casino links as partner links.
• A partner link can lead away from Bonus Buy Slots.
• Following such a link may earn the website a reward.
• The reward depends on following the link.
• The casinos behind affiliate links are external websites.
• Each casino has its own rules and policies.

Server records and campaign tags

When a page address carries a campaign tag, the tag is stored with the request. A campaign tag is a marker in the page address. The tag stays beside the technical record rather than on its own. Each request is logged by the server. The entry holds the requested address and the referring page address. The requested address is what was asked for. The referring page address is the page that sent the reader to Bonus Buy Slots. The entry also holds the IP address, the request time and the browser string. These records are kept for 30 days. After 30 days, that technical entry is no longer kept. If the delivery provider reports it, an approximate country is added. That country is derived from the IP address. The result is a short-lived technical entry. It shows what was asked for, where the request came from and when it arrived. The campaign marker is part of the same stored request.

Infrastructure processing

Traffic to Bonus Buy Slots runs through infrastructure providers. They provide hosting and delivery. They process requests on our behalf. The providers are not named. The reader sees the site load. Behind that load, the request is handled through the hosting and delivery path. That path is part of how the pages reach the reader. They act for the site in that step. The processing role is clear. The provider names are not given. The reader cannot check a provider name here.

Analytics and advertising cookies

The website itself does not set analytics or advertising cookies. Analytics cookies would measure activity. Advertising cookies would support ad delivery. Neither kind is set by the website itself.
