SITE INFORMATION UPDATED 2026-10-01
Privacy Policy
How this information site handles data, storage and visitor rights.
Who we are and scope
Solvaretique is an English-language editorial site about casino and gambling-industry history for readers in Finland and elsewhere. It is available at solvaretique.com. We do not offer accounts, gambling, deposits, payments, newsletters, comments or contact forms. This notice describes the site as published in this static build. If hosting or third-party services are added later, this policy must be updated before those services are used.
Data handled by the website
The pages themselves do not ask you for a name, email address, payment information or precise location. The site uses sessionStorage in your browser to remember an 18+ confirmation for the current browser tab session. That value is stored on your device and is not sent by our JavaScript to a server. A hosting provider may process ordinary technical request data such as IP address, time, requested URL and browser details to deliver pages and protect the service. The exact server log retention depends on the eventual host and must be documented in its deployment configuration.
Purpose and legal basis
The age confirmation supports our decision to present this adult-topic archive only to adults. Technical delivery and security logs, where collected by a host, are ordinarily used to provide the website, investigate faults and protect it from abuse. We do not use visitor profiles for advertising or behavioural targeting. We do not make automated decisions about visitors beyond showing or hiding the age notice based on the visitor’s own selection.
Third-party links and transfers
Our source links lead to independent websites operated by museums, regulators and other organisations. Their privacy practices apply after you follow a link. We do not embed third-party analytics, video players, maps, social widgets or remote fonts in this build. Whether hosting causes data to leave the EEA depends on the provider selected at deployment; that should be checked and reflected here before publication.
Retention and your choices
The 18+ flag lasts only for the current tab session and can be removed by closing the tab or clearing browser site data. We do not maintain a visitor database through this site. If a hosting provider keeps access or security logs, its documented retention period controls those records. Browser settings can remove local site storage at any time.
Your rights and contact
Where the GDPR applies, individuals may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict processing of personal data, object to processing and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Those rights depend on the data and legal basis involved. For privacy enquiries use privacy@solvaretique.com. The Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman is the relevant public authority for complaints in Finland.
