Privacy notice
Updated By the Ontario.gg Editorial Team
Ontario.gg is plain HTML. No page asks who you are or where you are, and none of our code keeps track of what you read.
What runs in your browser
Our code sets no cookies and loads no analytics, ad pixels or tracking code. Nothing is embedded from elsewhere, whether videos, maps or share buttons, and the fonts come from this domain.
Two small scripts do come from another company: Cloudflare, the network that carries our traffic and screens out
attacks. Its bot protection adds a check, loaded from a /cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/ path on this domain,
that sizes up whether the browser belongs to a person or a bot, and it may drop a cookie of its own to remember the
answer (__cf_bm, cf_clearance). Per Cloudflare, __cf_bm runs out once you've
been idle for half an hour, is unique to each site, doesn't follow anyone across sites and is encrypted for Cloudflare's
eyes only.
The second script, email-decode.min.js, appears on pages that show our addresses: Cloudflare hides them
from harvesting bots and turns them back into working links in your browser. We don't log or read Cloudflare's
cookies, and if a request looks automated, Cloudflare may put a check page in front of it. Cloudflare's own privacy
policy covers its side of all this.
One line per request
Each request adds a line to the server's access log: the address it came from (plus any forwarding address a proxy passes along), when it arrived, which page it asked for, the page that linked to it if your browser says so, and the browser's own description of itself. Those lines help us fix errors and block attacks; nobody turns them into reader profiles.
Numbers from Google Search
Google Search Console gives us totals: which searches showed our pages, how often people clicked, where we ranked. It is a Google service that adds nothing to our pages, and it names no one.
Email to the desk
Mail to [email protected] or [email protected] reaches us with your address attached, along with anything you wrote. We read it, reply, and do nothing else with it. This site has no mailing list.
The two links that leave this site
Only help links point elsewhere: ConnexOntario and the BetGuard portal. Once you follow one, that service's own privacy rules apply.
