After Dark is built to collect as little about you as possible. The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics or advertising scripts, has no accounts, no comments and no forms, and loads nothing from third-party servers when you read a page.
What the site itself collects
Nothing that identifies you. Pages are plain HTML and CSS. The only script on the site runs on the comparison table, where it shows or hides columns inside your browser; it does not send anything anywhere and does not store anything on your device. There is no newsletter sign-up, contact form or login, so there is no place on the site where you are asked to type personal details.
Cookies and local storage
After Dark does not set cookies and does not use local storage, session storage or similar technologies. Because nothing is stored on your device for tracking or advertising, there is no cookie banner to accept or decline.
Server logs kept by the web host
Like any website, these pages are delivered by a web host. When your browser requests a page, the host's servers may record standard technical details such as your IP address, the page requested, the time, and your browser type. Hosts keep these logs to run the service and protect it from abuse. After Dark does not use them to build profiles of readers or to follow you across other sites. How long the host keeps them is set by the host's own policy.
Links to other websites
Reviews link to the Gambling Commission public register, and the site links to support services such as GamCare, BeGambleAware and GAMSTOP. When you follow one of those links you leave After Dark, and the other site's own privacy policy applies. Outbound links open in a new tab and do not pass your browsing history to the site you visit.
Your rights
Because After Dark does not hold personal data about readers, there is normally nothing to access, correct or delete. If you believe the site has processed personal data about you, you can ask what is held and have it removed. Requests are handled by the After Dark editorial team, who will reply as quickly as they reasonably can.
Changes to this policy
If the site ever adds analytics, a contact form or anything else that collects data, this page will be updated before the change goes live, and the date at the top will change with it. You can read how reviews themselves are put together on the review method page.
