Introduction
This privacy policy will inform you as to how we collect your personal data when you visit https://gamescout.co.uk.
Any information we store is held securely and for the minimum period necessary to improve our platforms.
Non-Personal Data
This data is used for statistical and analytical purposes and is combined with other users of this website. This data helps us improve our website by allowing us to learn about how users act when they visit our platform. The anonymous data includes, but is not limited to, device type, location, and browser type.
Embedded content from other websites
GameScout articles may contain embedded content in the form of videos, images, and external links. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
GameScout is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these external websites. If you’re redirected to our platform from a third-party website, their privacy policy does not apply to GameScout. It is recommended that you read the privacy policies of any other website that you visit.
Advertisements
Your information may be used to show adverts that you may be interested in. These adverts may be delivered by a third-party, or by GameScout. The adverts you see may be determined by your cookie consent.
How long we retain your data
If you choose to leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Cookies

If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. This expires after 24 hours
