Our cookies are simple: remember consent, remember age confirmation, and measure reading patterns in broad strokes.

1. Purpose of this policy

This page explains how Spin Wall Gallery uses cookies and similar local browser storage when you visit our website. We keep the explanation plain because cookie notices are often harder to read than they need to be. The aim is to tell you what is stored, why it is stored, how long it lasts and what control you have over it.

2. What cookies are in this context

Cookies are small text values stored by your browser. On this site they work alongside local storage, which serves a similar practical role by keeping limited values in your browser so the page can remember a previous choice. We use the term cookie policy as a convenient umbrella for both browser cookies and local storage items where the outcome for the visitor is the same: the browser remembers something between visits.

3. Strictly necessary storage

The first category is essential storage. We use it to remember whether you have already confirmed that you are 18 or over, and whether you have already responded to the cookie banner. Without that storage the site would show the age gate and consent panel on every page refresh. We consider that functionality necessary for the lawful and orderly operation of an adults-only gambling review site.

In technical terms, the site stores values under the keys swgallery_age and swgallery_cookies. These values do not contain your name, your email address or any gambling account information.

4. Analytics and measurement

We may use limited analytics to understand how readers move through the site: which pages are opened, how long a page stays visible in aggregate, and whether readers engage with comparison sections or leave before the content loads fully. The purpose is editorial planning and site maintenance. We are not interested in building a detailed personal profile of individual readers.

Where analytics tools are present, they are intended to work at an aggregated level. We use the insight to see if a page is useful, confusing or ignored, then adjust the layout or writing accordingly.

5. What we do not store through cookies

We do not use this site to hold casino account credentials, payment card details or full gambling histories. We do not place operator-session cookies that turn Spin Wall Gallery into the casino itself, because it is not the casino. When you click through to an operator, that operator will have its own cookie and privacy practices governed by its own terms and systems.

6. Your choices

You can accept or decline non-essential cookie use via the corner banner when it appears after age confirmation. You can also clear browser storage directly through your browser settings. If you remove local storage for this site, the age confirmation and consent request may appear again on your next visit. That is normal. It simply means the browser is no longer carrying the previous choice.

You can usually block or delete cookies through browser controls as well. Doing so may alter how smoothly some site features behave, but it will not turn this review site into an unusable product.

7. Third-party services

Some links on the site lead to third-party websites, including casino operators and safer-gambling organisations. Once you leave Spin Wall Gallery, their policies govern how they use cookies and similar technology. We recommend reading those policies when the use of personal data or tracking matters to your decision.

8. Updates to this policy

We may revise this cookie policy when site features change, when our analytics setup changes, or when legal expectations change. Small wording edits may not affect substance, but the current version published on this page is the one that applies at the time of your visit. Questions about this policy can be sent to dataprotection@spinwallgallery.co.uk.
