Privacy Notice
What this guide does not collect, how optional Google Analytics works, what hosting infrastructure may process and what changes after an external click.
01 / Direct collection
No accounts or form submissions
Independent ZAM818 Guide does not ask visitors to create an account or submit personal information through this website.
The site has no contact form, comments, newsletter, user profile or on-site payment facility. It does not ask for a name, email address, telephone number, payment details or lottery account credentials.
Because no public contact channel is active, visitors should not send account credentials, ticket images, payment details, identity documents or other sensitive information to the project.
02 / Infrastructure
Technical request and security data
Delivering a website still requires ordinary network and security processing by hosting infrastructure.
When a page is requested, infrastructure providers may process technical details such as IP address, request time, requested URL, browser information and referrer. These details can be used to serve the page, maintain reliability, prevent abuse and investigate security incidents.
The guide does not promise that infrastructure produces no logs. Technical logs are controlled and retained under the relevant provider’s operational and security practices rather than being used by this project for advertising profiles.
03 / Optional analytics
Google Analytics runs only after permission
Google Analytics 4 is used to understand whether the guide is useful, but its tag is not loaded until a visitor selects “Accept analytics”.
After permission, Google Analytics can measure page views, page title and URL, referrer, approximate country, browser and device details, engagement information and clicks on the disclosed affiliate link. Connection information, including an IP address, may be processed as part of delivering the measurement request.
Advertising storage, advertising user data, ad personalisation and Google Signals are disabled in this implementation. Analytics is used for aggregated site and content reporting, not to create an on-site account or decide whether a visitor may play.
04 / Your choice
Cookies, local storage and withdrawing permission
The consent choice is stored on the visitor’s device under the key “zam818.analytics-consent” so the question does not need to be asked on every page.
If analytics is accepted, Google Analytics may set first-party measurement cookies such as _ga. If analytics is declined, the Google tag is not loaded and the guide does not send measurement events to Google Analytics.
The “Privacy choices” control remains available on every page. It can be used to change or withdraw the decision. Withdrawing permission stops new analytics events and the guide attempts to expire its Google Analytics cookies on the current domain.
Hosting or security services may still use strictly necessary technology to deliver the site, prevent abuse and respond to unusual traffic. That processing does not depend on the optional analytics choice.
05 / External services
What happens after an external click
A clearly labelled affiliate link leads to a separate website with its own privacy and security practices.
The destination may receive ordinary connection data such as an IP address, device and browser details, time of visit and referrer. The URL also contains a referral marker so the destination can attribute the visit to this guide. The destination decides what happens to data after the click.
Visitors should read the destination’s current privacy information before registering, paying or submitting personal data. This guide cannot access or manage a third party’s account records.
06 / Scope
Adults only and future updates
This gambling-related information is intended only for adults aged 18 and over.
The website is not designed to collect information from children. If the service changes in a way that materially affects privacy, this notice will be revised and its modification date will reflect a real change rather than an automatic refresh.
The present notice describes the site as currently built: an informational guide without user accounts or submissions, with optional consent-based audience measurement.
