Welcome to 21CIF — the 21st Century iGaming Forum (“21CIF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our website is https://21cif.com/ (the “Site”).
We create editorial guides, reviews, and comparisons to help readers discover safe, fair, and responsible online casinos. Our content is free to access. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships and advertising when users click certain links or sign up with third-party brands.
We are not a casino operator and do not provide gambling services. We only review and recommend third-party platforms, many of which operate offshore.
We collect only the information necessary to operate our Site, improve content, and support our affiliate relationships:
Browsing and device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring website, and approximate location.
Cookies and trackers: Unique IDs, click-through information, and affiliate tracking codes (such as UTMs or link-out events).
Advertising and analytics data: Anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers used to measure performance and deliver ads.
We do not collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as government IDs, financial account numbers, health data, or precise geolocation).
We do not have account registration or checkout features, so we do not store passwords or payment information.
We use the information described above to:
Operate, secure, and maintain the Site.
Measure traffic and understand how visitors use our content.
Improve guides, reviews, and comparison tools.
Attribute affiliate commissions when you click or sign up through our links.
Show or limit advertising frequency and relevance.
Prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
Like most websites, we use cookies and pixels to remember preferences, measure performance, and track referrals. Affiliate links often include special codes so our partners know we referred you.
You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit them). Please note that disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.
If you wish to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as defined under California law), email us at [email protected] with “Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported.
We work with common tools and networks such as:
Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand visitor traffic.
Advertising networks to display programmatic ads.
Affiliate programs that track clicks and conversions.
When you click an outbound link to a brand we review, that link may contain an ID that tells the partner you came from 21CIF. If you sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This does not change the cost to you.
We share information only in limited ways:
Service providers: Hosting, analytics, and security vendors.
Advertising & affiliate partners: To measure performance and attribute referrals.
Legal and compliance: If required by law or to protect rights, safety, or integrity of the Site.
We do not “sell” personal information for money. We may “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising and measurement purposes.
If you live in California, you have the right to:
Know what personal information we collect and how we use it.
Request access to, deletion of, or correction of your personal information.
Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
Non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
Limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not collect sensitive PI).
Residents of these states have similar rights:
Access, delete, or correct personal information (where applicable).
Opt out of targeted advertising.
Appeal if we deny a request (email us with “Appeal” in the subject line).
To exercise any rights, email us at [email protected]. We may ask you to provide information to verify your identity.
Retention: Server logs are typically stored for up to 12 months. Analytics and advertising data are generally retained for up to 24 months. Affiliate records may be kept longer where required for reporting and compliance.
Security: We use HTTPS, access controls, and regularly updated systems. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
This Site is intended for adults 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information, please contact us to request deletion.
Our Site links to third-party websites (such as online casinos or affiliate partners). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. Significant changes will be posted on this page.
