Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Like most websites, WorldSpinGuide uses cookies. Not many, not complicated ones, and definitely not the kind that follow you around the internet. We use them mainly to keep the website running smoothly and to understand which parts of our content people find helpful.

This page explains what cookies are, how we use them, how you can control them and how they fit into our overall privacy approach. My goal is to make this as clear as possible so you know exactly what`s happening in the background when you visit our site.

Read our full privacy policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They don`t look back at you, they don`t contain personal details, and they don`t harm your device. They just help websites remember things like which page you visited, what device you`re on, or whether the site is working correctly.

Some cookies disappear as soon as you leave the site. Others stay for a while so we can see basic patterns over time, like which guides are actually useful.

Why WorldSpinGuide uses cookies

We use cookies for three main reasons:

1. To make the website function properly

Some basic cookies help the site load faster, adjust to your screen size or remember that you closed a pop-up. Without them, certain features would simply break or feel clunky.

2. To understand how the site is being used

We use analytics cookies to see which pages are popular, which ones people skip and where readers drop off. This helps us improve the site. For example, if players leave a review after a few seconds, we rewrite it to make it clearer.

These analytics do not tell us who you are. They tell us what happened on the page, not who did it.

3. To keep everything running smoothly in the long run

Cookies help us keep the site fast, fix bugs and improve your overall experience. They give us a general overview, not personal identities.

What we do NOT use cookies for

This part matters to us, so I want to state it plainly:

• We do not use cookies to track your personal identity.
• We do not build user profiles.
• We do not sell cookie data to anyone.
• We do not use aggressive advertising cookies.
• We do not allow casinos or advertisers to attach their tracking cookies through our site.

If you click a link to an external casino, they may use cookies on their website, but that has nothing to do with our site. Their cookie policy applies once you leave WorldSpinGuide.

The types of cookies we use

Again, nothing fancy - just the essentials.

Essential cookies

These handle things like page loading, mobile responsiveness and basic functionality. Without them, the site wouldn`t operate correctly.

Analytics cookies

These show us patterns like how long visitors stay on a page or which guides need improvement. The data is anonymous and used only to understand the performance of the site.

Preference cookies (minimal use)

In a few cases, cookies remember if you closed a banner or pop-up so it doesn`t follow you around while reading.

And that`s pretty much it. No advertising networks, no retargeting cookies, no tracking you across other websites.

How you can control cookies

You can change your cookie preferences on this site at any time using the link below:

Change my cookie settings

You can also manage or disable cookies directly in your browser:

• block all cookies through your browser settings
• allow only essential cookies
• clear cookies whenever you like
• browse in incognito/private mode
• use a browser extension that manages cookies for you

Your experience on the site might become slightly less convenient, but everything will still work.

Here's how to adjust cookies in the most common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

If you block analytics cookies, you'll still be able to use the site fully. We don't rely on them for functionality.

Third-party tools we use

We use Google Analytics (loaded via Google Tag Manager) to collect anonymised usage data — things like which pages are visited and for how long. Google Analytics only activates after you accept statistics cookies in our consent banner. No analytics data is collected if you decline.

We manage consent ourselves using a self-hosted cookie consent system. There is no third-party consent platform (such as Cookiebot or Usercentrics) on this site. Your preferences are stored in a cookie on your own device for 365 days and are never shared with anyone.

Learn more about us

We do not allow casinos or advertising networks to place their cookies through our site.

If you click an outbound link to a casino, that casino may use its own cookies — which you can always review in their cookie policy.

Data protection and your rights

Because we operate under GDPR/EU data protection rules, you have the right to:

• request deletion of any personal data you voluntarily gave us
• ask what information we have about you
• refuse non-essential cookies
• withdraw consent at any time

If you ever want us to delete email communication or answer questions about data handling, write to us at:

support@worldspinguide.com

We answer personally, not with automated messages.

Changes to this cookie policy

If we ever change the way cookies are used - for example, if we add a new tool or remove an old one - we will update this page. When the “last updated” date changes, that means something was adjusted for transparency.

Contact us if you want to know more

If anything about this page is unclear, or you simply want a more detailed explanation of how cookies work on the site, you`re always welcome to contact us.
