1) Who we are & what this policy covers
Utah Bride Blog (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates utahbrideblog.com. We are a US-focused editorial website that reviews and compares iGaming brands and other related services. Our content helps readers understand offshore sportsbook options for Utah residents and what to look for in safe, reliable betting sites—such as licensing, payout speed, mobile usability, market variety, and customer support. We may earn compensation when you click our links and take action on a partner site.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and your privacy choices under US state laws.
2) What we collect
We aim to collect only what we need to run the site, measure performance, and attribute affiliate commissions.
- Browsing & device data. IP address, approximate location (city/region level), browser and OS, device type, language, pages viewed, time on page, links clicked (including outbound/affiliate links), referrer/UTM parameters, session and cookie IDs.
- Cookie/Tracker data. Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies used for analytics, advertising (including frequency capping and basic personalization), fraud prevention, and affiliate attribution (e.g., click IDs, link-out events).
- Sensitive information. We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories (e.g., precise geolocation, health, financial account numbers, government IDs, biometric data).
We do not run user accounts or process payments on this site.
3) How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and secure our website (including preventing abuse and fraud).
- Measure traffic and page performance, fix bugs, and improve our content and user experience.
- Personalize or cap ads and sponsored placements where applicable.
- Attribute affiliate commissions to our partners when you click our links and take qualifying actions on their sites.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4) Cookies & tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Pixels and similar technologies help us and our partners recognize your browser across sites.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how people use our content.
- Advertising cookies help limit repetitive ads and may tailor content based on your browsing.
- Affiliate tracking adds parameters to outbound links (e.g., UTMs, click IDs) so partners can credit us when you sign up or make a purchase.
Your controls:
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and limit third-party tracking.
- You can enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in supported browsers; where feasible, we treat GPC as an opt-out of “sale/share” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- You can also use industry opt-outs (e.g., YourAdChoices from the DAA and NAI opt-out tools) to limit interest-based ads in your browser.
5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates
We use common categories of services such as:
- Analytics tools to measure visits and engagement.
- Ad tech/measurement partners to deliver and report on advertising.
- Affiliate networks/partners to track link clicks and conversions.
When you click an outbound link to a brand we feature, that link may contain an ID so the partner knows we referred you. We may receive compensation if you sign up or take another qualifying action on the partner’s site. Partners’ privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
6) Sharing of information
We share information in these situations:
- Service providers. Hosting, security, content delivery networks, analytics, anti-fraud, and similar vendors working on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and use limits.
- Advertising & affiliate partners. To attribute referrals and measure performance; in some states this may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Legal/compliance. If required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share personal information for targeted advertising/measurement as defined by certain state laws; you can opt out (see “Your privacy rights” below).
