Last updated: January 2026
Welcome to thehottinroofs.co.uk ("we", "us", "our"), a UK-based affiliate website providing reviews and information about the best crypto casinos in the UK. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. We are committed to complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect and process the following types of personal data:
- Contact information: your name and email address if you contact us directly or subscribe to updates.
- IP address: collected automatically for security, fraud prevention, and analytics purposes.
- Cookies and tracking data: small files stored on your device to improve your experience and track affiliate referrals (see Section 3).
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and click activity, collected via analytics tools.
We do not collect payment details, gambling account credentials, or special category data.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Analyse website traffic and user behaviour to understand how visitors use our site;
- Track affiliate referrals so that partner casinos can attribute sign-ups made through our links (this is our lawful basis of legitimate interest and enables us to keep our content free);
- Improve, maintain, and personalise our website content and user experience;
- Respond to enquiries and communicate with you where you have requested it;
- Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse of the site.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Cookie Policy
Our website uses the following types of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the site to function correctly; these cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand visitor numbers and behaviour (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Affiliate/tracking cookies: placed when you click a link to a partner casino, so referrals can be attributed to us. These may persist for a limited period (typically 30–90 days).
- Functional cookies: remember your preferences and settings.
Opt-out options: On your first visit, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can also control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on provided by Google. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.
4. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to third-party online casinos, gambling operators, and affiliate networks. When you click these links, you leave our site and are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party website. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of every casino or operator you visit before providing personal information or creating an account.
Please gamble responsibly. If you need support, contact BeGambleAware at begambleaware.org or GamStop for self-exclusion. Gambling is restricted to persons aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom.
