We do not run accounts. We do not store your hands. We do not sell a list of grinders to a room.

## What we collect

 
 
- Server logs. Standard host logs: IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamp. Used for uptime, abuse, and debugging. Not a marketing profile.
 
- Contact form. If you write us, we receive the name, email, and message you typed, plus mail headers. We keep it long enough to answer, then it lives in an inbox like any other email.
 
- No poker-hand database. The calculators on /tools run in your browser. We do not upload your pot sizes or roll.
 
 

## Google advertising

 

If AdSense is enabled on this site, Google may use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads, including Personalized Advertising. That is Google's processing, under Google's policies.

 
 
- [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
 
- [Google Ads Settings](https://adssettings.google.com/)
 
- [How Google uses information from sites that use ads](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads)
 
 

Until the publisher ID is live, ad slots render as labeled placeholders and do not call googlesyndication. Analytics is likewise off until a GA4 measurement ID is pasted into config and enabled.

 

## Cookies

 

Essential cookies are not required to read the magazine. Non-essential cookies appear only if advertising or analytics is switched on. You can block third-party cookies in the browser and the articles will still load.

 

## Age

 

This site discusses gambling. It is intended for adults (18+, or 21+ where that is the local line).
