Cookie Policy – Spinko
Start playingThis page explains how Spinko uses cookies and similar technologies on spinko-offiziell.de. We keep it straightforward: what a cookie actually does, which ones this portal sets, and how you can manage or turn them off.
What cookies are and why they exist
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. It helps the site remember things – your preferences, the pages you looked at, whether you have seen a particular message before. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser (session cookies); others stick around until they expire or you delete them (persistent cookies).
Cookies do not access anything else on your device, and they cannot run programs or carry viruses. They are a standard part of how modern websites work, but you are always in control of whether to accept them.
Cookies this portal sets
Spinko-offiziell.de uses the following categories of cookies to keep the site running smoothly and to understand how people use it:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Essential for the site to function – security, basic navigation, consent preferences. | Session or up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Help us see which pages are visited most, where people arrive from, how long they stay. No personal identification. | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Remember your choices – language, layout settings, whether you have dismissed a banner. | Up to 1 year |
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies that follow you across other sites. The analytics cookies we do set are aggregated and anonymised – they show us patterns, not individuals.
Necessary cookies
These keep the site secure and usable. They handle your consent preferences, manage session state, and prevent cross-site request forgery. You cannot turn them off without the site breaking, but they do not track your behaviour or store personal information beyond what is needed for that visit.
Analytics cookies
We use standard analytics tools to understand traffic patterns – which sections get the most attention, where drop-offs happen, whether a new feature is actually being used. The data is aggregated: we see 500 people visited a page, not which 500 or what else they did online. If you prefer not to be counted, you can decline these cookies through the banner that appears on your first visit, or disable them in your browser settings.
Preference cookies
If you collapse a section, set a layout option, or dismiss a notification, a preference cookie stores that choice so you do not have to repeat it every time you return. These improve the experience but are not essential – decline them and the site still works, you will just see default settings each visit.
Third-party scripts we do not control
Some pages embed content from external services – a video player, a map, a social-media widget. Those services may set their own cookies when the embed loads, governed by their own privacy policies rather than ours. Where possible we use privacy-enhanced modes (no-cookie embeds for video, for example), but if you interact with an embedded element you should assume the third party is setting cookies under its own terms.
We do not share your data with these services beyond what the embed itself requires to function. If you want to block third-party cookies entirely, your browser settings can do that – see the section below.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you control cookies. You can block them all, allow only first-party cookies, delete existing ones, or set exceptions for specific sites. The steps vary slightly by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies" as you prefer.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" or use Custom settings to block trackers.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Block all cookies" or choose "Prevent cross-site tracking" for a lighter touch.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies. You can block third-party cookies or clear all stored data.
Blocking all cookies will break some features – login sessions, preference storage, anything that needs to remember state between pages. Blocking third-party cookies alone is usually a good middle ground: the site itself still works, but external trackers are cut off.
Declining cookies without breaking the site
When you first visit spinko-offiziell.de, a consent banner appears. You can accept all cookies, decline the optional ones (analytics and preference), or configure each category individually. If you decline, the site will still function – you will simply see default settings and we will not collect usage data from your visit.
Your choice is stored in a necessary cookie (ironic, but unavoidable) so we do not ask again every time you load a page. You can change your mind later by clearing that cookie in your browser, which brings the banner back.
Changes to this policy
We review this policy periodically and update it when our use of cookies changes – a new analytics tool, a different embed provider, a change in how long we retain data. The "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page shows when the most recent revision was published. Significant changes will be flagged through a notice on the site, but we will not notify you individually – checking back here occasionally is the way to stay informed.
Questions or concerns
If something here is unclear, or you have a specific question about how cookies are used on this portal, write to [email protected]. We will respond within 48 hours during normal working days.
