What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you navigated the pages. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install software on your device.

Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, and local storage. Where this policy refers to cookies, it covers those technologies as well unless stated otherwise.

Cookies Spinotter Uses

Spinotter currently uses the following categories of cookies.

Analytics cookies: Spinotter uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. This includes data such as pages visited, time on site, approximate location by country, and the device type used. This information is aggregated and is used to improve content and site performance. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _gid to distinguish users and sessions.

Strictly necessary cookies: Some cookies are required for basic site functions, such as remembering consent preferences you have set. These cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works.

What Spinotter Does Not Use Cookies For

Spinotter does not use cookies to collect information that identifies you personally, such as your name or email address. The site does not have user accounts, does not run a newsletter, and does not collect contact form submissions. No cookies are used for advertising targeting or retargeting on this site.

Lawful Basis and Consent

Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), analytics cookies require your consent before they are set. Spinotter will request that consent via a cookie notice when you first visit the site. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential to deliver the service you have requested.

You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through the consent tool on the site or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

How to Control Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies.

Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Consent tool: Use the cookie preference centre on spinotter.com to adjust which non-essential cookies are active at any time.

Google Analytics opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google.

Third-party opt-outs: Industry opt-out tools such as the YourOnlineChoices platform allow you to manage interest-based cookies set by participating companies.

Third-Party Cookies

Google Analytics cookies are set by Google LLC acting as a data processor on behalf of Boring Digital Limited. Google may process analytics data on servers outside the UK. Boring Digital Limited has entered into data processing terms with Google that include UK GDPR-compliant safeguards for international transfers.

Spinotter does not control cookies set by third-party sites that are linked to from this site. When you follow a link to an external site, that site's own cookie policy applies.

Retention Periods

The Google Analytics _ga cookie persists for up to 13 months from the date it is last updated. The _gid cookie expires after 24 hours. Consent preference cookies set by the site's consent tool are typically retained for up to 12 months so that you are not asked for consent on every visit.
