Privacy & Cookie Policy
This page sets out, in plain language, what personal information
top-online-casinosde.com collects, what we do with it, and the
control you have over your data and cookies.
Last reviewed: 21 July 2026
Who we are
top-online-casinosde.com is an information and comparison
website. We publish reviews, guides and rankings, and we point
visitors towards the websites of our partners through links.
Nothing is bought or sold directly on our pages.
For the purposes of data protection law, we act as the
"controller" of the personal information described here. That
simply means we decide what is collected and why. We are
committed to handling your details responsibly and in line with
the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data
Protection Act 2018.
What we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Broadly, the information
we hold falls into two groups: what you choose to give us, and
what is recorded automatically as you browse.
Information you give us
If you contact us through a form or by email, or sign up for
updates, you may share details such as your name, your email
address and whatever you write in your message. You are never
obliged to provide this, although we may be unable to reply if
you don't.
Information collected automatically
When you view our pages, certain technical details are logged so
the site can work and so we can understand how it is used. This
typically includes your IP address, your browser and device
type, the pages you open, the time of your visit and the page
that referred you. On its own, this information does not
identify you by name.
How and why we use it
Your information is only ever used for clear, limited purposes that keep the site running and help us improve it.
- To operate the website — serving pages correctly, keeping things secure and stable.
- To answer you — handling and following up on messages you send us.
- To improve our content — looking at overall traffic patterns to see what readers find useful.
- To send updates — but only where you have asked to receive them.
- To meet our obligations — complying with the law and preventing misuse or fraud.
Our legal grounds
Data protection law requires us to have a valid reason, known as a legal basis, for each use of your information. Depending on the situation, we rely on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies or our newsletter), our legitimate interests in running and improving the site in a way that does not override your rights, or the need to comply with a legal obligation. Where we rely on consent, you are free to withdraw it at any time without affecting anything done beforehand.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not trade it
for commercial gain. It is shared only in limited, controlled
circumstances and always for the purposes set out above.
We work with trusted service providers who help us run the site,
such as hosting, analytics and email delivery. These providers
act only on our instructions and are bound to protect your data.
We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or
where it is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of our
visitors.
How long we keep it
We hold your information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for. Messages are kept while we deal with your query and for a reasonable period afterwards, and analytics data is retained for a limited time only. Once these periods pass, your information is deleted or anonymised, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
Keeping it safe
We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect your data against loss, unauthorised access and disclosure, including secure connections and restricted access to information. No system online can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take our responsibility seriously and act promptly and openly should an incident ever affect your data.
Your rights
Under GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have a number of rights over your personal information, and we make them straightforward to use.
- Access — ask for a copy of the information we hold about you.
- Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete details corrected.
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data where the law allows.
- Objection — object to certain uses, including direct marketing.
- Restriction — ask us to pause how we use your data.
- Portability — receive the data you gave us in a reusable format.
- Withdraw consent — change your mind about something you previously agreed to.
To exercise any of these, just contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your information, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish supervisory authority, the Data Protection Commission, at dataprotection.ie.
Cookies in detail
This section explains what cookies are, the ones we use, why we
use them, and how you stay in control.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you
visit a website. It lets the site remember certain things from
one page or visit to the next, such as your preferences. Cookies
contain no software and cannot harm your device. Alongside
cookies, similar technologies such as pixels and local storage
may be used for comparable purposes; in this policy, "cookies"
covers all of these.
The categories we use
Not all cookies do the same job. To keep things clear, we group
them by what they are for.
- Strictly necessary — needed for the site to work, including navigation, security and remembering your cookie choices. These do not require consent.
- Preference — remember your settings, like language or display options, to make your next visit smoother.
- Analytics — help us understand, in an aggregated way, how the site is used so we can improve it.
- Marketing — set by us or our partners to tailor content to your interests and measure campaigns. These run only with your consent.
Your consent
In line with the Irish ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of
2011), non-essential cookies are only set after you agree to
them. When you first arrive, a banner lets you accept, reject or
customise these cookies, and you can change your choice whenever
you like through the cookie settings on the site.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set not by us but by external services we rely
on, such as an analytics tool or a partner we link to. These
third parties follow their own privacy rules, which we do not
control, so we encourage you to review their policies as well.
Managing cookies in your browser
Besides the banner, you can manage cookies directly in your
browser, which lets you block, allow or delete them. The exact
steps vary, but you will usually find these options under the
browser's "Settings" and then "Privacy" menu. Do bear in mind
that blocking some cookies, particularly the strictly necessary
ones, may stop parts of the site from working properly.
Other websites
Our site contains links to partner sites and other external services. When you follow one, you leave top-online-casinosde.com and move to a site whose content and data practices we do not control. This policy applies only to our own website, so we recommend reading the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. When we do, we will revise the date shown at the top of the page, and we will flag any significant changes more prominently. It is worth checking back occasionally so you stay informed.
