Legal Bases for Processing
Makefestival.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we rely on your consent — for example, when setting non-essential cookies or sending marketing communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. We also process certain data on the basis of legitimate interests, specifically to operate a functional review website, improve user experience, and manage affiliate relationships, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. In limited circumstances, processing may be necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Makefestival.uk contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators, including Betti Casino. When you click these links, you may be redirected to third-party websites that operate under their own privacy policies, for which we bear no responsibility. We use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics to understand site performance; these providers may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their respective terms. We do not sell your personal data to any third party. Affiliate tracking is conducted solely for commission attribution and does not involve the transfer of sensitive personal information.
