Cookie Policy

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. One 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 and preferences: local storage remembers your privacy choice, wheel options, weights, settings, question, theme, and recent results. The wheels work when optional categories are rejected.
• 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: with permission, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics measure page views and spin actions without sending wheel entries or results.

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

• Cookie settings: use the Cookie settings control in the footer to accept, reject, or change analytics and advertising choices at any time.
• 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 onespinnerwheel.com 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.
