1. Who We Are & What This Policy Covers
Welcome to shivonzilis.com — an independent U.S.-based website that reviews and compares online casinos and other iGaming brands.
We don’t run or operate gambling platforms; we publish educational, editorial, and affiliate content to help readers make informed decisions about safe, licensed casinos.
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under U.S. state privacy laws.
2. What We Collect
We collect limited information to operate our site responsibly:
-
Browsing data – IP address, browser type, pages viewed, time on site, referring page, and approximate location.
-
Cookies and trackers – Used for analytics, ad delivery, and affiliate link attribution (e.g., UTM tags, click IDs).
-
Device information – Such as operating system, screen size, and connection type.
-
Contact details – Only if you email us directly (we don’t host a contact form or newsletter).
We do not collect sensitive categories of information (e.g., government IDs, financial records, or health data).
3. How We Use Information
We use your information to:
-
Run, secure, and improve our website
-
Measure traffic and page performance (e.g., Google Analytics)
-
Prevent spam, fraud, and abuse
-
Attribute affiliate commissions correctly when you visit partner sites
-
Personalize or limit the frequency of advertising
We never sell your data for money.
4. Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small files that help our site function properly and measure usage. Some come from us; others come from analytics or advertising partners.
You can control cookies through your browser settings or opt out of cross-context advertising by emailing [email protected] with “Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible.
5. Advertising, Analytics & Affiliates
We use standard tools such as:
-
Analytics services to understand visitor trends (e.g., Google Analytics 4)
-
Ad networks that may place cookies for frequency capping or performance measurement
-
Affiliate tracking links – When you click an outbound link to a partner casino or other brand, a tracking ID may record that referral so we can earn a commission if you sign up or deposit.
These tracking systems don’t reveal your personal identity to us.
6. Sharing of Information
We may share limited data with:
-
Service providers who host our site or analyze performance
-
Ad and affiliate partners for campaign measurement
-
Legal authorities if required by law or to protect our rights
We do not sell your information for money, but some data may be “shared” under California’s definition (for cross-context advertising).

-
Access and portability of your personal data
