You can go to the giveaway page - winner list, and add your keys there, then click on "send key".

No. You have to click send manually. That's so you can have a chance to check your winners for rule breaking.

Key will not be sent until you manually click on it. After you click on it, the winner can see the key.

This allows you to review the winner if you put the key at the time giveaway was created.

"send"

easiest, add the key to the giveaway when you create it, click on "send key" when it ends. it won't automatically send the keys unless you make a giveaway with more than 50 copies.

best and safest way, add the winner on steam and send the key in the chat. check that he activates it and mark as received here.

in case you want to reroll the winner.

reroll = ask support to let the system pick another winner, in case the user broke a rule (unactivated wins on his account, won multiple times the same game) or if the winner ignores you for 7 days or more.
if you want to do extra work, you can manually check your winners with this tool http://www.sgtools.info/activation - if you find something wrong, just send a ticket to support (request new winner).

Your choice. You can either go to the winners page and put the key there and click send, by email or add them on steam and give the key through chat.
But first please make sure they didn't break any rules like non activating previous wins or winning multiple giveaways of the same game. You should ask for a re-roll in that case.

No, it's just as MuIIins said. Also it doesn't steal your sensitive information at all.

It's an inside joke, it's not spyware at all, a banned user just called it that out of being salty.

It's sgtools.info they are talking about. You can check user profiles there for nonactivations and multiwins.
This script: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/6fClz/userscript-links-on-profile-to-steamgifts-tools-real-cvnot-activated-gifts adds convenient links to userprofiles for easy checking.

You live ... you learn :)

Non-activations do not always grant re-rolls. Often times the punishment has already been served and you won't get your re-roll. It never hurts to ask though.

Either manually by looking at their wins and checking their Steam library or, the quick and easy way, with this script that will add links to users profiles.

That's alright, someone will check in the future and report them. If they continue to not activate their wins, they will end up getting banned.

Also, it depends on how long ago it was. If it was a while ago and they have been activating all their wins since then, they have probably already been punished and learned their lesson.

Yeah you could go to the winners page and send themm through there or you could add people and just send them through chat. Although some people may not like to receive friend invites, so the 1st option could be quicker.
