Reader privacy

Privacy

A plain-language summary of the information this site uses and the choices readers have.

Information you provide

GradedStakes does not currently require an account and does not currently operate a newsletter or contact form. Do not send sensitive personal or financial information through any future public contact channel.

Basic technical information

Hosting providers may process routine request information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, and timestamps to deliver and secure the site. This information is not used to determine racing or wagering recommendations.

Analytics, advertising, and outbound links

GradedStakes uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic, page engagement, and clicks to operator websites. Google Analytics may set or read analytics cookies and process information such as device and browser details, approximate location derived from IP address, referral source, pages viewed, and interaction events. We disable Google signals and advertising personalization in our site configuration and do not intentionally send names, email addresses, account details, or wagering information to Google Analytics.

Operator-link events and commercial-banner events identify the advertiser, link placement, relationship status, creative, and destination path so we can measure whether a page is useful. An affiliate network may also measure a click after an approved compensated link is activated. External sites have their own privacy practices, and GradedStakes does not control information submitted after leaving this site.

Your choices

You can limit or delete cookies in your browser, use a content blocker, or install Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking analytics does not prevent access to GradedStakes.

Policy changes

This page will be updated when the site begins collecting information in a new way or adds a service that materially changes reader privacy.
