6. Cookies
LottoCompare may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that can help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and measure performance.
Cookies used on LottoCompare may include:
- Essential cookies, required for the website to operate;
- Analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors use LottoCompare;
- Preference cookies, which may remember choices or settings; and
- Affiliate or tracking cookies, which may help identify when a visitor follows a link from LottoCompare to one of our partners.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be used after you have provided the appropriate consent.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
7. Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how people find and use LottoCompare.
These services may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device information, referral sources and how visitors interact with the website.
We use this information to understand website performance, identify popular content and improve LottoCompare.
Where analytics technologies require consent, they will be subject to your cookie choices.
8. Affiliate Links and Tracking
LottoCompare is an affiliate-supported website.
Some links on LottoCompare are affiliate links. If you click one of these links, the relevant partner or affiliate network may use cookies or other tracking technologies to record that the visit originated from LottoCompare.
This enables the partner or affiliate network to attribute registrations, purchases or other qualifying activity to us and may result in LottoCompare receiving a commission.
Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay unless expressly stated otherwise.
Third-party operators and partners process information under their own privacy policies. LottoCompare does not control how those third parties collect or process personal information after you leave our website.
9. Links to Third-Party Websites
LottoCompare contains links to websites operated by third parties.
When you follow an external link, you leave LottoCompare and become subject to the terms, privacy policies and cookie practices of that third-party website.
We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by any third-party service you choose to use.
Our Privacy Policy does not govern the collection or use of information by independent third-party websites.
10. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate LottoCompare, such as website hosting, security, analytics, technical services and other suppliers.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or another lawful request from a competent authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or the security of the website.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data-protection arrangements are in place.
11. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used by LottoCompare may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data-protection law and that appropriate safeguards are used where required.
12. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
LottoCompare uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) to help protect information transmitted between your browser and our website.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where necessary to:
- respond to enquiries;
- operate and protect LottoCompare;
- comply with legal, accounting or reporting requirements; or
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
This retains the principle used in your existing policy that personal information should only be kept for as long as required.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
