Privacy Policy
1) Who we are & what this policy covers
Statera Arts (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates https://stateraarts.org/ (the “Site”).
We’re a USA-focused editorial and affiliate publisher. We publish guides and comparisons about iGaming—here, mainly focused on California sports betting, including how payments and withdrawals work (cards, e-wallets, mobile wallets, and crypto), live betting and market formats, mobile sportsbook performance, bonuses/VIP rewards, common bettor mistakes, and responsible gambling tools and resources.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use the Site. It does not cover third-party websites you may visit via our outbound links (such as sportsbooks, casinos, payment providers, or other partners).
2) What we collect
We keep data collection lightweight. The Site does not offer user accounts or process on-site purchases.
A) Information you provide
Based on the settings you provided:
- Newsletter: No
- Contact form: No
- Comments/UGC: No
So we generally do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any messages directly through the Site.
B) Browsing and device data (collected automatically)
When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:
- IP address (often used to estimate general location)
- Pages viewed, time on page, clicks, scroll activity, and link-out events
- Referrer information (e.g., search engine or referring page)
- Device type, browser type, operating system, language settings
- Cookie IDs and similar identifiers
C) Cookies/trackers for analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution
We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels/tags) for:
- Analytics (to understand which content helps readers—e.g., payout speed, verification, or live-betting guidance)
- Advertising (to deliver, measure, and cap ads; detect fraud)
- Affiliate tracking (to measure referrals and attribute commissions)
Outbound links may include tracking parameters such as UTM codes, click IDs, or similar identifiers so partners can attribute activity to our Site.
D) Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information via the Site (such as Social Security numbers, government ID images, precise geolocation, or biometric data).
If you click through to a sportsbook or other third party, they may collect additional information (including identity verification data) under their own privacy policies.
3) How we use information
We use information to:
- Operate and maintain the Site
- Keep the Site secure, prevent abuse, and detect fraudulent traffic
- Measure performance and improve content (for example, making our advice clearer on payment methods, verification, and withdrawal timelines)
- Personalize or cap ads (where supported)
- Attribute affiliate referrals and commissions (when you click to a partner and take a qualifying action)
4) Cookies & tracking
What cookies/pixels do
Cookies and similar technologies help us:
- Understand how visitors use the Site
- Improve content and site performance
- Measure ads and affiliate referrals
- Reduce repeated ads and help prevent fraud
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through:
- Your browser settings (block/delete cookies)
- Your device privacy settings
- Private browsing and tracker-blocking tools
Note: Blocking cookies may reduce ad relevance and can limit our ability to measure content performance and affiliate referrals.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we aim to honor it where feasible as an opt-out of certain “sale/share” and targeted advertising activities (as defined by some state privacy laws).
5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates
Advertising
The Site uses display/programmatic advertising. Ad partners may use cookies or similar tools to:
- Serve and measure ads
- Limit frequency (so you don’t see the same ad repeatedly)
- Detect invalid traffic and fraud
Analytics
We use analytics tools to understand traffic and improve the Site—for example, whether readers engage more with content about fast withdrawals, crypto payouts, or live betting performance.
Affiliate links
Some links on the Site are affiliate links. That means:
- We may earn a commission if you click and later complete a qualifying action with a partner.
- Outbound links may include IDs that help attribute the referral.
Affiliate revenue helps fund the Site. It doesn’t necessarily change the price you pay.
6) Sharing of information
We may share information with:
- Service providers (hosting, security, analytics, anti-abuse)
- Advertising partners (ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention)
- Affiliate partners (referral attribution, reporting, fraud prevention)
- Legal/compliance recipients (if required by law or to protect rights and safety)
We do not sell personal information for money. However, some sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or measurement may be considered “sharing” under laws like California’s CPRA.
7) Your privacy rights (US states)
Depending on where you live, you may have certain privacy rights.
