This Privacy Policy explains how Shmnt.co ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at shmnt.co. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information We Collect

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit Shmnt.co, our servers and third-party analytics tools automatically collect certain technical data. This includes your IP address (truncated for anonymisation where required), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit.

We also collect data through cookies and similar tracking technologies. These may record session identifiers, preference settings, and interaction patterns such as clicks and scroll depth. This data is used in aggregate form and is not linked to personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected for the following purposes:

Analysing site traffic and user behaviour to improve content quality and site performance
Understanding which pages and topics are most useful to our audience
Detecting and preventing fraudulent or abusive activity
Responding to enquiries and support requests
Complying with legal obligations applicable to our jurisdiction

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in any way that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies - required for the site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features.
Analytics cookies - collect anonymised data on how visitors interact with the site. We use this to identify popular content and technical issues.
Preference cookies - remember settings such as language or region so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
Marketing cookies - set by our affiliate partners to track referrals. These are only active when you click an outbound link to a partner casino or gambling operator.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies at any time. Note that disabling analytics or preference cookies may affect your experience on the site. You can also use browser extensions such as Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin to limit tracking across the web. Where required by law, we present a cookie consent banner that allows granular opt-in or opt-out before any non-essential cookies are set.

Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic and user behaviour. Google Analytics collects data such as session duration, pages per session, bounce rate, and approximate geographic location based on IP address. Google may process this data on servers outside your country of residence. We have enabled IP anonymisation to reduce the risk of identifying individual users. For details on how Google handles this data, please refer to Google's own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Casino and Gambling Partners

Shmnt.co contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators and gambling platforms. When you click one of these links, the destination site may set its own cookies and collect data independently, subject to its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any operator you visit before registering or depositing. Our affiliate relationships are disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure page.

Other Third Parties

We may embed content from third-party providers such as video platforms or social media widgets. These providers may collect data when their content loads on our pages, even if you do not interact with the embedded element. We aim to minimise such embeds and will note their presence where relevant.
