Cookie Policy

1. What This Policy Covers

This policy explains the technologies used to remember preferences, improve website performance, and support limited analytics on freespinia.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, where we describe legal basis, retention, and your privacy rights in more detail.

When we say "cookies", we may also refer to similar storage methods such as browser local storage. These tools can store small pieces of information in your browser so a site can recognise settings between page views.

2. Essential Storage

Essential storage is used for core website behaviour and basic compliance controls. On FreeSPINia, key examples are the age confirmation marker and cookie preference marker. Without these values, every page load would repeatedly trigger the age gate and consent prompts, which would reduce usability and interrupt normal navigation.

Essential functions do not store payment details, gambling account data, or sensitive personal profiles. They are used only to keep the website operational and to apply your choices consistently.

3. Local Storage Keys Used on This Site

• freespinia_age: records that you confirmed you are 18 or older so the overlay does not repeat on each page.
• freespinia_cookies: records whether you accepted or declined cookie preferences in the banner.

These keys are stored in your browser and can be removed at any time through browser settings. If removed, the corresponding prompts will appear again when you revisit the site.

4. Optional Analytics

Where enabled, analytics helps us understand broad trends such as page views, article depth, and broken navigation paths. We use this information to improve readability, update stale sections, and keep responsible gambling resources easier to find. Analytics is not used to make decisions about your eligibility for promotions or services on third-party casinos.

If you decline optional cookies in our banner, we apply that choice and avoid optional tracking storage that depends on consent.

5. Affiliate Tracking Context

Some outgoing links may include affiliate tracking parameters so partner networks can register referral activity. That mechanism operates on third-party domains after you leave our site. Partner handling of identifiers is governed by their own policies. We receive reporting needed for business accounting and campaign analysis, not detailed personal gambling records.

6. How to Manage Cookie Choices

You can control cookie use in several ways. First, use the on-site banner to accept or decline preferences. Second, clear local storage and cookies directly in your browser. Third, use private browsing modes where available. Keep in mind that removing essential settings may cause repeated prompts or reduced convenience while browsing.

Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear data on exit. Exact steps differ by browser, so check vendor help pages for current instructions.

7. Browser-Level Controls

Common control options include deleting existing cookies, preventing new storage, limiting storage to session-only use, and managing site permissions one domain at a time. You may also use extensions that reduce tracking scripts, though aggressive blocking can affect how pages render or how consent banners function.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. There is no single technical standard that all services follow in the same way. We prioritise explicit consent settings through our banner and browser controls, which provide clearer intent and practical implementation.

9. Data Retention for Cookie-Related Records

Preference markers remain in your browser until you clear them or until the browser removes them through its own rules. Server-side logs tied to operational and security functions are retained only for periods needed to run and protect the site. For full retention details, see our Privacy Policy.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when site features or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top reflects the latest version. Material updates will be shown on this page so you can review them before continuing to browse.
