Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 16, 2026

SweepsRanked ("we", "us", "our") runs the website at sweepsranked.com. this policy covers what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

the short version: we collect minimal, anonymized analytics — and only after you say yes. no personal info, no accounts, no selling data to anyone.

what we collect

Google Analytics (GA4)

we use Google Analytics 4 to see how people use the site — which pages get viewed, how long visits last, what devices and browsers show up. GA4 does not collect personally identifiable info by default, and we haven't turned on anything that would change that.

analytics only kicks in after you opt in via the cookie banner. if you dismiss or decline it, no analytics cookies get set and nothing gets sent to Google.

localStorage Preferences

we store a few preferences in your browser's localStorage:

  • theme — your dark/light mode preference
  • cookie-consent — whether you accepted or declined analytics
  • table filter/sort state — your last-used table settings

localStorage never leaves your browser — it's not sent to our servers or anyone else. you can clear it anytime in your browser settings.

what we don't collect

  • Names, email addresses, or any contact information
  • Payment or financial information
  • Account credentials (we have no accounts or logins)
  • Location data beyond country-level analytics estimates
  • Any data from children under 18

cookie consent

our cookie setup is opt-in, not opt-out. when you first visit, analytics cookies are blocked by default via Google's consent mode. they only activate if you click "Accept" on the banner.

changed your mind? clear your browser's cookies and localStorage for this site. the consent banner will show up again on your next visit.

google analytics opt-out

beyond declining our banner, you can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

third-party links

this site has affiliate and referral links to sweepstakes casino sites. when you click one, you leave SweepsRanked and you're on that casino's turf — their privacy policy and terms apply.

we're not responsible for how third-party sites handle your data. worth checking their policies before signing up or sharing personal info.

referral links may include tracking parameters (like UTM codes) so we can see which links get clicked. those parameters don't contain any of your personal info.

data retention

Google Analytics data sticks around for 14 months, then gets auto-deleted. we don't keep any separate database of user data.

children's privacy

this site isn't for anyone under 18 (21+ in some states). we don't knowingly collect data from minors. sweepstakes casinos require age verification and are restricted to eligible adults.

responsible gambling

we're a ranking site, not a gambling operator — but we take responsible gambling seriously. if you or someone you know has a gambling problem, these can help:

changes to this policy

we may update this from time to time. changes show up in the "last updated" date at the top. using the site after a change means you're okay with the updated policy.
