Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
SweepsRanked ("we", "us", "our") runs the website at sweepscasinosranked.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.
google ads conversion tracking
we may use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. this sets a cookie when you click a Google ad that leads to our site, and helps us understand which ads drive visits.
conversion tracking data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual users. this tracking only activates after you opt in via the cookie consent banner.
data retention
Google Analytics data sticks around for 14 months, then gets auto-deleted. we don't keep any separate database of user data.
california privacy rights (CCPA)
if you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information:
- right to know — you can request what personal information we collect, use, or share.
- right to delete — you can request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
- right to opt out — you can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
- right to non-discrimination — we won't treat you differently for exercising these rights.
we do not sell your personal information. the analytics data we collect (via Google Analytics, after consent) is used solely to understand site usage. we do not share this data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
to exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@sweepscasinosranked.com. we'll respond within 45 days.
children's privacy
this site is for users 21 years and older only. we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 21. 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:
- National Council on Problem Gambling
- 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) — 24/7 confidential helpline
- Gambling Therapy — free online support and counseling
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.
