Information We Collect
To ensure the stable operation of our resource, provide high-quality content, and improve the overall user experience, we interact with various data categories. Collecting information helps us better understand our audience’s interests in Canada, optimize the display of materials, and respond to technical errors in a timely manner. All data that enters our system is divided into two main categories: information you provide voluntarily and information recorded automatically. Each of these types is described in detail below.
Personal Information
Personal data includes information that allows you to be identified (name, email, location) or to be contacted directly. Our website does not collect such data forcibly or in a hidden manner. Personal information of users may be collected only in cases where you independently and consciously perform these actions on our resource:
- Contact the website through official communication channels.
- Subscribe to the site’s newsletters to receive fresh reviews of bookmakers, betting market analytics, and current bonus programs.
- Participate in promotions, surveys, or thematic contests held periodically on our resource.
- Send messages via contact forms to receive technical support.
We use the personal information solely to ensure high-quality, timely communication with users.
Non-Personal Information
Non-personal information is impersonal. This type of data is recorded automatically using special software tools during each of your visits. To analyze general trends in interaction with the site, we collect the following categories of technical information:
- IP address. This parameter is recorded by network servers to determine the visitor’s general geographic region and ensure the proper level of site cybersecurity.
- Browser type. This information is analyzed to ensure the correct display of graphic elements and text content across various web platforms.
- Device type. This indicator helps adapt the interface of our information portal for smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
- OS. This information is collected to optimize the site’s program code for specific platforms (Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS).
- Viewed pages. They are recorded to determine which bookmaker reviews or betting articles are most interesting to readers.
- Duration of stay on the site. This marker reflects the total time that users spend studying our publications.
Based on the statistics we receive, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of the resource’s performance, detect technical failures, and promptly eliminate page-loading errors.
Cookie Policy
Cookies represent miniature data documents deployed to your PC or smartphone during web browsing.
The use of cookies helps us optimize the user’s interaction with the information portal in several ways:
- Supporting individual interface settings, such as choosing the language for displaying materials or zooming pages.
- Preserving the technical state of the user’s session prevents you from having to re-enter the same information when switching between sections.
- Accelerating the loading of web pages by caching certain static design elements.
- Collecting generalized statistics on the popularity of various information sections and reviews of bookmakers.
You can block cookies completely, or set them to be automatically deleted after each browser session. However, please note that disabling cookies may result in some interactive features of our site becoming unavailable.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary pieces of data stored in your device’s RAM for the duration of your current visit to a website. They are automatically deleted once you close your web browser or exit the website.
Session cookies help the server correctly identify your successive requests, allowing you to move freely from one bookmaker’s review to another without losing your current browsing state. Without them, each new page would treat you as a completely new visitor, which would significantly slow down the site.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies, unlike temporary session cookies, are stored on your hard drive or in your device’s memory for a longer period. They remain active even after you close your web browser or restart your computer. Persistent cookies are used to personalize your interaction with the site, in particular for:
- Saving the selected regional format for displaying sports betting odds.
- Remembering the search filters and sorting information you set during a previous visit to our portal.
- Identifying regular readers which allows you to avoid repeatedly displaying welcome messages, instructions, or warning banners.
Persistent cookies eliminate the need to reconfigure content display settings each time, saving you time and making information consumption as comfortable as possible.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors interact with our site. They help us analyze website usage, measure the effectiveness of posted reviews, and identify areas for improving the resource’s structure.
For clarity, the main types of statistical data recorded using analytical tools are listed in the table below:
| Data type | Purpose of information collection and analysis |
| Number of unique visits | Determining the overall level of site popularity and audience growth dynamics |
| Most visited reviews | Identifying topics and bookmakers that interest users the most |
| User journey through the site | Analyzing the sequence of transitions between articles to optimize the navigation menu |
| Page loading errors | Timely detection and elimination of broken links and code failures |
All collected analytical information is processed exclusively in an aggregated, anonymous form, thereby completely eliminating the possibility of identifying an individual.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies are activated in response to the visitor’s specific actions. These files perform the following important tasks:
- Store the user’s individual interface settings.
- Help improve the site’s usability by saving the selected contrast mode or font size.
- Ensure stable operation of certain functions, such as playing integrated video reviews, using interactive bet calculators, or using comment blocks.
Using functional cookies makes your experience on our information portal more interactive and enjoyable.

Data Security
To minimize risks and protect the information space on our site, we use the following security tools:
