What we store on your device
Cookies and similar technologies are small pieces of data saved by your browser. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, sites may store strictly necessary items without consent but must ask before setting anything else.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| talksv_cookie_ok | Local storage (first-party) | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice | Until you clear it |
We load fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests them, Google receives technical information such as your IP address, but no cookies are set by that request.
What we do not use
We do not use analytics cookies, advertising or retargeting cookies, social media pixels or affiliate tracking. Links to other websites, such as support organisations, are ordinary links; those sites have their own cookie policies.
Why we keep it this simple
Many gambling-related websites load dozens of third-party scripts that follow visitors across the web and report back to operators. We decided early on that an independent information site should not do that. Keeping storage to a single first-party preference means there is nothing to consent to beyond the notice itself, pages load faster, and your reading on TalkSV is not used to build an advertising profile. If we ever add anything new, such as privacy-friendly analytics, we will update this policy first, ask for consent where the law requires it, and change the date shown at the top of the page.
How to remove or block stored data
You can clear site data at any time through your browser settings, usually under privacy or site settings. If you clear it, the cookie notice will simply appear again on your next visit. Blocking storage entirely will not stop the site working.
