There is no cookie banner on this site, and that is not an oversight. A banner is needed when a site sets cookies the reader has not asked for — analytics, advertising, profiling. We set none of those, so there is nothing to ask permission for.

geo holds the country you picked in the switcher, as a two-letter code and nothing more. It lives for a year, it is sent only to this site, and it is marked SameSite=Lax so another site cannot cause it to be sent.

It carries no identifier, so it cannot be used to recognise you: every reader who picked Germany has exactly the same value. What it changes is what you see — which payment methods exist in your country, which brands are available there, which helpline is shown.

If there is no cookie, the site uses the country it guessed from your connection and says so in the top line; you can override it at any time.

What stays in the browser and never leaves it

Two things are kept in local storage, which — unlike a cookie — is never sent with a request:

  • An unsent form. Fill half a complaint, close the tab by accident, and the draft is still there when you come back. It is cleared the moment you send the form.
  • Your answer in a poll. So the page shows the result instead of asking you again. It is one choice per poll.

What we do not do

No analytics, no heatmaps, no session recording, no advertising cookies, no pixels, no third-party scripts: the only script the page loads is our own bundle. We do not build a profile, and there is nothing to sell, because there is nothing collected.

Our listings carry affiliate links, and that is stated above every listing. A link is a plain link: we do not attach a tracker to it. Once you follow it, you are on the bookmaker’s site, and whatever that site sets is governed by its own policy, not ours.

The form check

The forms carry Cloudflare Turnstile, which decides whether a human is sending them. It sets no cookie of ours, builds no profile and does not follow you anywhere: the check happens on that page and ends there.

Clearing them

Your browser’s settings clear both the cookie and local storage. After that the country goes back to the guess, unsent drafts are gone, and a poll will ask you again — nothing else changes, because nothing else was stored.
