This page explains what data the operator of r2e2.uk collects, why, and how to control it. The site is a small fortune-roulette webapp that delivers life tips. It is run as a personal project, not a commercial service. We try to collect as little personal data as possible.
What we collect
When you visit r2e2.uk we record the following automatically:
- Your IP address, used to give you a consistent experience across visits if you decline cookies.
- Your browser's user agent string, used for diagnostics.
- A persistent identifier (cookie), set only if you accept cookies. This identifier lets us remember which tips you have seen and which you have favorited.
- Your activity on the site: which tips you spin, which you mark as favorite, when you visit. This data is linked to your identifier (cookie or IP) and stored in our database.
- A standard PHP session cookie (PHPSESSID), strictly necessary for the site to function.
What we do NOT do
- We do not share your data with third parties.
- We do not use your data for advertising.
- We do not track you across other websites.
- We do not sell or rent your data.
- We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party analytics service.
Why we collect this
The data we collect is not used to directly identify you as an individual. It is used only to provide core functionality, such as avoiding repeated tips, saving favorites, and maintaining a consistent experience. We do not attempt to build personal profiles or track users beyond this site.
Your activity data lets us provide useful features: not showing you the same tip twice, letting you save favorites, and showing your wisdom progress. Your IP address and browser info help us diagnose problems and protect against abuse.
How long we keep it
Your data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Inactive accounts (no visits for over 12 months) may be deleted automatically.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, California CCPA, and similar laws, you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Request that we correct or delete your data.
- Object to processing or request restriction.
- Withdraw your consent for cookies at any time.
- File a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Cookies
r2e2.uk uses two cookies:
- r2e2_uid — a 32-character random identifier. Set only with your consent. Used to remember your favorites and tip history. Expires after 1 year.
- PHPSESSID — required for the site to work. Cleared when you close your browser.
If you decline the cookie banner, we use a temporary identifier derived from your IP address instead. This is less private than a cookie but allows the site's features to work for the duration of your session.
You can clear cookies anytime via your browser's settings.
