Wirkn (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates https://wirkn.com/. We publish editorial content that helps Canadians compare betting sites in Canada — including platforms focused on sports, crypto payments, esports, and mobile betting — using practical criteria like withdrawals, payments, market depth, and province-specific availability.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We’re a content and comparison site — we do not operate betting services, process deposits, or take wagers.

Cookies & Your Choices
Cookies help the site function and help us understand what’s working. You can control cookies through your browser settings (including clearing cookies or blocking certain categories). Note that blocking some cookies may reduce site functionality.
If you prefer more privacy:

Advertising, Analytics & Affiliate Links
Analytics
We may use standard analytics tools to understand traffic and content performance (for example, page views and engagement).
Advertising
We may display ads or work with advertising partners. These systems can use cookies or similar identifiers to measure performance and limit repetitive ads.
Affiliate links
Some pages contain affiliate links. If you click and sign up or make a qualifying action, we may earn a commission. This doesn’t typically increase the cost to you. Affiliate tracking usually works through link parameters and cookies that help attribute a referral.
When We Share Information
We may share limited information with:
-
Service providers who help run the site (hosting, security, analytics)
-
Advertising or affiliate partners for measurement and attribution
-
Authorities if required by law, or to protect our rights and users
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense, and we aim to keep sharing limited to what’s needed to operate, measure, and secure the site.
Your Privacy Rights in Canada
Depending on where you live in Canada, you may have rights to:
-
Request access to personal information we hold about you
-
Ask us to correct inaccurate information
-
Ask us to delete information (where applicable)
-
Ask questions about how your information is used
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your request (for example, confirming you control the email address used to contact us).
Data Retention & Security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above:
-
Contact messages are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain records of support
-
Analytics data is typically retained for a limited period to track site performance over time
We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine updates. No website can guarantee perfect security, but we work to keep risks low.
Children’s Privacy
Wirkn is intended for adults only. Betting is age-restricted in Canada, and you must meet the legal age in your province or territory to use betting services. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
Third-Party Links
Our site links to third-party websites (such as betting operators). We’re not responsible for their privacy practices. Always review the operator’s privacy policy before providing information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
