3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

SportsBetEdge uses the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies

Required for the site to function. These include session cookies that maintain your preferences (such as odds format selection in our calculators) during your visit. These cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand site traffic. Cloudflare's analytics are privacy-focused and do not use cookies that track users across sites. Data is aggregated and anonymized.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link, a cookie is set to attribute any subsequent signup to our referral. These cookies typically expire after 30-90 days depending on the affiliate program. They do not contain personally identifiable information.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our calculators and other interactive features. Disabling affiliate tracking cookies means we will not receive commission if you sign up for a tool, but this does not affect your experience or the price you pay.

4. Affiliate Tracking

When you click a link to a third-party tool provider through our affiliate links (identifiable by our /go/[tool]/ redirect paths or direct affiliate URLs), the following occurs:

• We record the click event with a timestamp and the destination tool.
• A tracking cookie is set in your browser to attribute any subsequent signup to our referral.
• If you sign up for the tool, the provider notifies us of the referral and pays us a commission.
• We receive only aggregate commission data from providers, not your personal account details.

We do not receive your sportsbook account information, betting history, or financial data from any tool provider as part of our affiliate relationship.

5. Newsletter and Email

If you subscribe to our newsletter:

• We collect your email address for the sole purpose of sending our newsletter.
• We do not share your email address with third parties, including our affiliate partners.
• You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email.
• Upon unsubscribing, your email address is removed from our mailing list within 10 business days.
• We use a third-party email service provider to send newsletters. Your email address is stored on their servers in accordance with their privacy policy.

6. Third-Party Services

SportsBetEdge uses the following third-party services that may process data:

• Cloudflare: Our hosting provider and CDN. Cloudflare processes all web traffic to our site for performance and security purposes. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Email service provider: Used to send our newsletter. Your email address is stored on their servers.
• Affiliate networks: Tool providers and their affiliate networks use tracking pixels and cookies to attribute referrals. Each provider has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data after you visit their site.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites you visit through our links. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any tool provider before creating an account.
