Cookies
Desert Squeeze Guide at desert-squeeze.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and GDPR. Cookies are small text files placed on a visitor's device when accessing desert-squeeze.com. Desert Squeeze Guide uses the following types of cookies:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for desert-squeeze.com to function properly. Essential cookies enable core features such as remembering the visitor's cookie consent preference. Under PECR Regulation 6, essential cookies are exempt from consent requirements because desert-squeeze.com requires them to operate.
Analytics Cookies
Desert Squeeze Guide may use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics 4) to collect information about how visitors use desert-squeeze.com, including which Desert Squeeze slot review pages receive the most traffic. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised. Analytics cookies are only placed with the visitor's explicit consent, as required by PECR and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidance on cookies (updated 2024).
Affiliate Cookies
When a visitor clicks on affiliate links from desert-squeeze.com to third-party casino sites offering the Desert Squeeze slot, those casino sites may place their own cookies on the visitor's device to track referrals. Third-party casino cookies are governed by the respective casino operator's privacy policy, not by Desert Squeeze Guide's Privacy Policy.
Managing Cookies
Visitors can control and manage cookies through browser settings. Most browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow visitors to block or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of desert-squeeze.com. Visitors can also manage cookie preferences using the cookie consent banner that appears when first visiting desert-squeeze.com, in accordance with ICO guidance.
Third-Party Services
Desert Squeeze Guide at desert-squeeze.com contains links to third-party websites, including online casinos offering the Desert Squeeze slot and gambling support organisations such as GamCare and BeGambleAware. When a visitor clicks on these links and leaves desert-squeeze.com, the third party's privacy policy applies. Desert Squeeze Guide is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Third-party services used by desert-squeeze.com include:
- Cloudflare (web hosting and CDN): Cloudflare processes server logs that may contain visitor IP addresses and browsing data, in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy and GDPR commitments.

Data Retention
Desert Squeeze Guide retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, in accordance with GDPR Article 5(1)(e) (storage limitation principle):
- Contact form submissions: Desert Squeeze Guide retains messages and associated contact information for up to 12 months after the inquiry has been resolved, unless the visitor requests earlier deletion under GDPR Article 17.
- Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely because anonymised data falls outside the scope of GDPR (Recital 26).

- Server logs: Cloudflare server log data for desert-squeeze.com is typically retained for up to 90 days.
