Year by Year asks nothing of its readers: no name, no email address and no account. It keeps almost nothing either, and the one thing it does keep stays in the reader's own browser.
What is stored
The site keeps one thing: the theme choice, light or dark. It sits in the browser's session storage, on the reader's own device, not on a server. When the tab closes, the choice is gone.
Nothing else is collected. There are no forms, no accounts, no comments and no newsletter, so there is nothing to fill in and nothing to send. The site sets no cookies. It loads no third-party scripts, no outside fonts and no trackers, so a page view is not passed to any other company. Each page comes from this site's own server alone.
Links out
Pages across the guide link to casino sites, help services such as ConnexOntario and government pages. Those open on their own servers, under their own privacy rules, and this guide has no view into what they collect. Readers can check each policy on the site they land on.
Only the home page carries paid links, marked Ad. All three lead to the same online casino partner. The guide earns a commission, and the partner can change. Inner pages, this one included, carry no paid links.
