Short version: the site sets nothing on your device unless you agree to it, and the one thing we would like to set is Google Analytics. Everything else here is the detail behind that sentence, including what our server records whether you agree or not.
Google Analytics, and how to say no
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get read. It sets cookies, so we ask first.
Nothing is requested from Google until you press accept. Not the script, not a pixel, not a connection. If you decline, or if you close the banner without answering, the page you get is the same one that existed before analytics was added to this site.
Two signals count as an answer without us asking: Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. If your browser sends either, we treat it as a decline and you will not see the banner at all.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who receives it | Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC, as our analytics processor |
| What is collected | Pages viewed, approximate location by IP, device and browser type, how you arrived, and how long you stayed |
| Cookies set | _ga and _ga_<id>, on your device for up to two years, and only after you accept |
| Legal basis | Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
| Advertising | Switched off. Ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation are all set to denied, and we run no advertising products |
Your answer is stored in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie, so declining leaves nothing on your device at all.
Change your answer — this reopens the banner, and clearing it counts as a withdrawal.
Server logs, which happen either way
Every website records the requests it serves, and this one is no exception. Our web server writes your IP address, the time, the address you asked for, the response code, the page that referred you and your browser’s user-agent string.
This is not analytics and it is not optional: it is how a server is operated, secured and debugged. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the site running and defending it, which is a real need here — in one week those logs caught a brute-force run of several thousand attempts against a login endpoint.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Retention | 30 days, then deleted by rotation |
| Where | On our own server, not sent anywhere else |
| What we do with it | A weekly summary: visit counts, which pages were read, which crawlers came, which addresses were probing. People, crawlers and scanners are counted separately |
Where the site runs
The site is hosted on a virtual server we rent from Hostinger, located in the United States. Hostinger processes the data on that server on our behalf as our hosting provider. DNS is served by Cloudflare, which answers the question “which server is mostbet-uk.net” and does not see your page requests, because proxying is switched off.
What we deliberately do not load
Fonts and images are served from our own server, so opening a page sends no request to Google Fonts or any CDN. Apart from the analytics tag described above, and only after you allow it, the site loads nothing from a third party. There are no advertising pixels, no social widgets, no session recorders and no heatmaps.
What we never have
The site has no accounts, no registration, no comments, no newsletter and no payment forms. We cannot lose your name, email address or card details, because we never collect them. There is nothing here to sell to anyone, and we do not.
Links that leave the site
Buttons that go to an operator pass through an internal address on this site first, in the form /go/…, so that the destination can be changed in one place. That hop is recorded in the same server log as any other request. At the time of writing no partner destination is configured, so those buttons return you to the home page.
Once you leave, the site you land on has its own privacy notice and its own cookies, and this one no longer applies.
Your rights, and how to use them
Under UK and EU data protection law you can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, object to processing, or complain to a supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office.
In practice the answer for almost everyone is short: we hold no account data at all, and the only thing tied to you is an IP address in a server log that deletes itself after 30 days. If you accepted analytics, Google holds the analytics data and their retention settings apply; withdrawing consent stops any further collection immediately.

Changes
If this notice changes in a way that affects what is collected, the change is recorded in the verification log along with the date, in the same way corrections to our published findings are.
