Cookie Policy
Effective date: September 16, 2026
What Cookies Are & How We Use Them
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser; localStorage is a similar browser feature for slightly larger data that never leaves your device by itself. Wheel Spin Pro uses a deliberately small set of both. We use them for three things only: keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences, and measuring site usage — with cookies only if you consent.
For the full picture of how this data fits into our processing, see the Privacy Policy.
Complete Inventory
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ci_session |
Cookie | Wheel Spin Pro | Strictly necessary. Keeps you signed in and carries the security token that protects forms from cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours |
remember |
Cookie | Wheel Spin Pro | Only set if you tick “remember me” when signing in, so you are not asked again on your next visit. | Until it expires or you sign out |
site_theme |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Remembers whether you chose light, dark, system or high-contrast. | Until you clear it |
ga_consent |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are only asked once. | Until you clear it |
wsp_cmp_scope |
sessionStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Remembers, for this visit, whether Google’s certified consent tool applies to you, so that on later pages the right consent banner appears without the other one flashing first. | This visit only |
wsp_zen_mode |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Remembers whether you last used a picker in distraction-free fullscreen. | Until you clear it |
wsp_autosave::* |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | A working draft of the entries you typed into a tool, so a refresh does not lose them. One key per tool type. | Until you clear it |
wheelItems, wheelTitle, spinSettings |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | The wheel you currently have set up — its entries, title and spin settings. | Until you clear it |
winners_history_* |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Your recent results on a given tool, so the “previous winners” list survives a refresh. One key per tool. | Until you clear it |
loadListId, loadConfigId |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Signed-in users only: which saved list or saved configuration to open next. | Until you clear it |
wsp_spin_count |
localStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | A local count of spins on this device. It is not sent to us. | Until you clear it |
wsp_support_dismissed, wsp_pwa_dismissed, wsp_ad_anchor_dismissed |
sessionStorage | Wheel Spin Pro | Remembers that you closed the support button, the install prompt, or an advert, so it does not reappear during this visit. | This visit only |
_ga, _ga_* |
Cookie | Google Analytics | Measures how the site is used, in aggregate. Only set after you accept analytics — until then Google Analytics runs without setting them, and if you decline it is not loaded again. | Up to 2 years |
We do not use any other tracking pixels, fingerprinting scripts, or third-party data brokers.
Which of These Actually Run on Your Visit
Most of the list above is conditional. On a first visit to a picker page, while
you are signed out and before you answer the consent banner, the only things
set are the ci_session cookie and whichever preference keys the
page needs to remember your theme and your entries. Nothing else is created
until you do something that requires it. Google Analytics does load, but in a
cookie-free mode that stores nothing on your device.
- Sign in and the
remembercookie may be added, along with the saved-list keys. - Accept analytics and Google Analytics may set its own cookies. Until you answer it runs cookie-free; decline and it is not loaded again.
- Use a tool and its autosave and results keys appear, on your device only.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, we do not sell any of this data, and none of the browser-storage keys above are transmitted to us — they are read by the page you are on and nothing else.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
A browser sending a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal is treated as having declined: Google Analytics is never loaded for it and the banner does not ask — unless you had already accepted before the signal was switched on.
Changes to This Policy
This page is updated whenever the set of cookies or storage keys changes — for example if a new tool stores a preference. The effective date at the top of the page reflects the last such change. Material changes that affect consent will be surfaced on the site rather than made quietly here.
Managing & Withdrawing Consent
- Analytics — decline the consent banner and Google Analytics is not loaded again; until you answer, it runs without cookies. To withdraw consent later, clear this site's data in your browser settings; the banner will ask again.
- Personalised ads — manage at Google Ads Settings or opt out broadly at aboutads.info.
- All cookies — every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies per site (usually under Settings → Privacy → Site data). Blocking our first-party cookies only affects sign-in and saved preferences; the wheels still work.
- Autosave — use the "Start fresh" option shown when a wheel is restored, or clear site data.
