Cookie Policy
Last updated 21 August 2026.
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on spinnerwheel.tools, what each is for, and how to control them.
Spinner Wheel itself sets no cookies. The storage the site uses for your own wheel setup is local storage, which behaves differently from a cookie, and the only cookies on the site come from advertising.
Cookies and local storage are not the same thing
A cookie is a small file that your browser sends back to a server with every request, which is what makes cookies useful for tracking across pages and sites.
Local storage stays in the browser and is never sent anywhere automatically. Spinner Wheel uses local storage to remember your options, weights, wheel settings, question, theme, and recent results, so that your setup survives a refresh. Because it is never transmitted, it cannot be used to follow you around the web.
Categories used on this site
- Strictly necessary: none beyond what the hosting provider requires to deliver the page. The wheels work with advertising cookies blocked.
- Preferences (local storage, not cookies): your wheel options, weights, settings, question, theme, and recent results. Stored on your device only.
- Advertising: cookies set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure advertising, limit how often you see the same ad, and detect invalid traffic.
- Analytics: none at present. If that changes, this page will be updated before it takes effect.
Advertising cookies in detail
Google and its partners may set cookies when advertising is displayed. These are used to select which ads to show, to cap how often a particular ad appears, to measure whether an ad was seen or clicked, and to detect fraudulent clicks.
If Google serves personalised advertising, the cookies may also be used to build an interest profile based on your browsing across many sites. In regions where consent is legally required, Google’s consent message asks for your permission before this happens, and you can change your answer from that notice at any time.
Details of the cookies Google uses for advertising, and what each one does, are published in Google’s own cookie documentation and privacy policy.
How to control cookies
- Browser settings: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either entirely or per site. Look for Privacy or Site settings.
- Personalised ads: turn them off for your Google account at adssettings.google.com.
- Industry opt-outs: aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu offer opt-outs across many advertising vendors at once.
- Clearing your wheel data: clear site data for spinnerwheel.tools in your browser to remove the local storage holding your options and settings.
What happens if you block everything
The wheels keep working. Blocking advertising cookies means the ads you see are less relevant rather than absent. Blocking local storage means the site forgets your options and settings between visits, so you will start from the defaults each time.
