Last Updated: June 7, 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies help us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, for instance by storing information about your preferences and allowing us to customize our Website according to your individual interests, and by speeding up your searches.
2. How We Use Cookies
SpinScout.co.uk uses cookies for several purposes. Some cookies are essential for the technical operation of our Website, while others help us improve user experience and provide relevant information. The types of cookies we may use include:
-
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
- Example: Session cookies that remember your age verification status for the duration of your visit.
-
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
- Example: We may use Google Analytics to understand how users engage with our site. Google Analytics cookies collect information anonymously. They report website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
-
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
- Example: Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
-
Targeting or Advertising Cookies (Currently Not Used Extensively): These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
At present, SpinScout.co.uk primarily uses cookies for analytics and essential site functions. If we introduce third-party advertising cookies in the future, this policy will be updated, and appropriate consent mechanisms will be provided.
