Legal Bases for Processing
We process your personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by the UK GDPR. Where we send marketing communications or deploy non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you may withdraw at any time. For operational activities such as site analytics, affiliate attribution, and improving our review content, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) as an independent publishing and affiliate business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. In limited circumstances, processing may be necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) applicable to casino-romania.co.uk.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Nelson-arms.co.uk contains links and referral buttons to third-party casino operators, many of which hold Romanian licences and accept players from Great Britain. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to an external website governed by that operator's own privacy policy and terms. We may receive a commission if you register or deposit via our links; this does not affect our editorial independence or review scores. We also engage analytics providers, including Google Analytics, who may process data on our behalf. These providers act as data processors bound by appropriate contractual safeguards. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
