Privacy policy and cookies
Updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how nextpoker.org (“Site”, “we”, “us”) processes information when you visit Next Poker Guide. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Data controller
Controller: Next Poker Guide editorial project (informational website at nextpoker.org).
Contact: contact@nextpoker.org for privacy requests, corrections, and policy questions.
We are not a gambling operator and do not operate player accounts.
2. What data we collect
The Site is mostly static HTML. You do not need an account to read guides. When you load pages, hosting and related infrastructure may process:
- IP address and approximate region (from IP);
- date/time of request, requested URL, HTTP status;
- browser user-agent, referrer URL, and basic device/browser type;
- security and anti-abuse signals (for example firewall logs).
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID configured in the site build, currently G-SQ0JRH7L8R) to measure aggregate traffic and page performance. Google may set cookies or similar identifiers. We configure analytics for site measurement, not to build marketing profiles on this Site. See Google’s documentation for how Analytics processes data.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
- Strictly necessary cookies for security or basic operation (if enabled by hosting);
- Analytics cookies via Google Analytics 4;
- Affiliate / measurement tags on partner redirects to attribute outbound clicks (if configured).
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking may limit analytics measurement.
4. Affiliate and outbound links
The Site links to third-party operators and help organisations. When you follow a partner link (including partner redirect), you leave nextpoker.org. Third parties process data under their own policies.
We may receive affiliate commissions. That does not give us access to your operator account details unless you contact us separately.
5. Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies:
- Legitimate interests: operating, securing, and improving the Site; measuring aggregate performance; preventing abuse.
- Consent: where required for non-essential cookies/analytics (for example via a consent banner if implemented).
6. Retention
Server and security logs follow hosting defaults unless a longer period is needed for security or legal reasons. Analytics retention follows the Google Analytics property settings.
7. Sharing and processors
We may use processors such as web hosting, CDN, DNS, email for the contact mailbox, and Google Analytics. We do not sell personal data. Affiliates receive information only when you choose to visit them.
8. International transfers
Processors may store data outside your country. Where required, vendor safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) may apply.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, and data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.
Email contact@nextpoker.org. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
10. Gambling disclaimer
Privacy choices do not remove gambling risk. Educational content is for adults 18+. Real-money poker involves financial loss and can be addictive. Use operator safer-gambling tools and independent support if needed — see responsible gambling.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. The current version lives on this page. Material changes update the date below.
