Cookie Policy – Spindog
Start playingThis policy explains how cookies work on Spindog, what information they collect, and how you can control them. We keep things straightforward – no legal jargon, just the facts you need to make informed choices about your browsing.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It helps the site recognise you on return visits, remember your preferences, and function properly. Cookies don't access other files on your computer and can't run programs – they simply store information the site needs to work.
On spin-dog.nl we use cookies for essential tasks like keeping you logged into your session, remembering which pages you've viewed, and ensuring forms work correctly. Without these, parts of the site wouldn't function as intended.
The analytics question
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site – which pages get the most attention, where readers arrive from, and how long they stay. This helps us improve the content and layout. Analytics cookies track visits anonymously; they don't identify you personally and we never link them to your contact details.
You can decline analytics cookies without breaking the site. The core functions – reading reviews, accessing bonus information, navigating between pages – all work fine without them. The only thing you'll miss is contributing to our aggregate usage data, which has no direct benefit to you anyway.
Scripts we do not control
Third-party cookies come from external services embedded in our pages – things like video players, social media buttons, or advertising networks. These organisations set their own cookies when their content loads, and they operate under their own privacy policies, not ours.
We don't control what data these third parties collect or how they use it. If you're concerned about external tracking, most browsers let you block third-party cookies entirely while still accepting first-party ones from the site you're visiting. The trade-off is that embedded content might not display or function correctly.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Can you decline? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session management, security, site navigation | No – required for the site to work |
| Analytics | Usage statistics, page views, traffic sources | Yes – site functions normally without them |
| Marketing | Ad targeting, conversion tracking | Yes – no impact on core features |
| Preference | Language choice, layout settings | Yes – you'll just need to reset preferences each visit |
Your options
Every major browser gives you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or allow only certain types. Here's how to manage cookies in the browsers most people use:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies" depending on your preference.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" for a clean slate each session.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies. Safari also offers "Prevent cross-site tracking" as a middle-ground option.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can allow cookies but clear them manually whenever you like.
Blocking all cookies will likely break parts of this site and most others you visit. A more practical approach is to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones, then clear your cookies periodically. This gives you privacy without sacrificing usability.
Revisions
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes – for instance, if we add a new analytics tool or remove an advertising partner. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. We don't notify users individually about changes; if you want to stay informed, check back here occasionally.
If you have questions about how we use cookies, or you'd like more detail about a specific type, contact the editorial team at [email protected]. We'll respond within 48 hours on working days.
