Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Funny Potato (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://funny-potato.com (the “Site”).

Funny Potato is a USA-focused affiliate website that publishes editorial content about iGaming platforms, including Plinko casino sites, payment methods (cards, e-wallets, mobile wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency), game formats, bonuses, mobile performance, and responsible gambling tools. We do not operate casinos, process payments, or offer real-money gambling ourselves. We may earn compensation when users click affiliate links and later sign up or transact with third-party operators.

1) Who we are & what this policy covers

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected when you:

• browse or interact with the Site,
• click affiliate or advertising links,
• view ads or content served through third-party tools.

It does not apply to third-party websites or services you access through outbound links (such as online casinos, sportsbooks, payment processors, or wallets). Those third parties control their own data practices.

2) What we collect

We collect limited information needed to operate the Site, analyze traffic, support advertising, and attribute affiliate referrals.

A) Contact details

Based on current Site settings:

• Newsletter: No
• Contact form: No
• Comments / UGC: No

As a result, we generally do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or direct user messages.

B) Browsing and device data (automatically collected)

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may collect:

• IP address (used to estimate general location such as state or region)
• Pages viewed, time on page, scroll depth, clicks, and link-out events
• Referring URLs and exit pages
• Device and browser information (device type, operating system, browser, language, screen size)
• Cookie IDs or similar identifiers
• Approximate location derived from IP address

C) Cookies, pixels & affiliate tracking

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for:

• traffic measurement and analytics,
• advertising delivery and frequency control,
• affiliate referral tracking and commission attribution.

These may collect:

• UTM parameters (campaign/source/medium),
• ad or affiliate click IDs,
• conversion confirmations reported by partners (often aggregated or pseudonymous).

D) Sensitive information

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as government IDs, financial account numbers, precise GPS location, health data, or biometric data. Any such data collected by casinos or payment providers occurs on their platforms, not ours.

3) How we use information

We use collected information to:

• operate, secure, and maintain the Site,
• prevent abuse, spam, and fraud,
• analyze performance and improve content quality,
• understand mobile vs desktop usage,
• personalize or cap advertisements,
• attribute affiliate referrals and measure conversions,
• comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

4) Cookies & tracking

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Pixels and scripts help measure performance and deliver ads. Affiliate links include tracking parameters so partners can attribute referrals.

Your choices

You can control cookies and tracking by:

• adjusting browser settings (block or delete cookies),
• using private/incognito browsing modes,
• enabling device-level ad controls where available.

Disabling cookies may reduce ad relevance and affect affiliate attribution, but you can still browse the Site.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, where technically feasible.

5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates

We work with common categories of third-party services, including:

• Analytics providers (to understand traffic and engagement),
• Advertising networks (to display and measure ads),
• Affiliate networks and tracking platforms (to track referrals and prevent fraud).

We do not list specific vendors because they may change over time.

Affiliate disclosure: Some outbound links include tracking IDs. If you click a link and later register or deposit with a partner, we may receive compensation. This does not increase your cost and helps support the Site.

6) Sharing of information

We may share information with:

A) Service providers

Hosting providers, analytics services, security tools, and similar vendors that support Site operations.

B) Advertising and affiliate partners

Identifiers and usage data may be shared for:

• ad delivery and measurement,
• frequency capping,
• affiliate attribution and fraud prevention.

C) Legal and compliance needs

Information may be disclosed if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or integrity of the Site.

Sale or sharing of personal information

We do not sell personal information for money. However, sharing identifiers for advertising or affiliate measurement may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain U.S. state laws.

7) Your privacy rights (United States)
