Essential cookies
Needed for SpinWheelPlus to operate: security, sign-in, and critical requests.
Analytics cookies
Google Analytics 4 helps us measure aggregated traffic and improve the product where consent or law allows.
Advertising cookies
Google AdSense delivers and measures ads where you have agreed or the law permits.
You're in control
Use your browser or device settings to manage or delete cookies anytime.
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit. They help SpinWheelPlus remember your choices, keep sessions secure where you sign in, and show how our services are used in the aggregate. We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, or SDKs, that save or read information on your device for the same kinds of purposes.
We use cookies and similar storage when needed to run SpinWheelPlus securely, keep you signed in, remember preferences you choose (such as light or dark theme), and -where you have given consent or the law allows-to measure how the site is used (Google Analytics) and to show or measure ads (Google AdSense). We limit data to what is appropriate for those purposes. For personal information more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
We classify cookies and similar technologies into the categories below. What is set depends on how you use SpinWheelPlus-for example, session cookies appear when you sign in, while theme and visitor identifiers may be stored in your browser even when you browse without an account.
- Essential: required for the site and core features to function, including security, authentication, and session management.
- Functionality: remember UI preferences such as theme (light or dark) and anonymous visitor identifiers you need for certain features.
- Performance / analytics: help us understand aggregated traffic and feature usage so we can fix issues and improve reliability. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose where consent or applicable law allows.
- Targeting / advertising: used to deliver, personalize, and measure ads through Google AdSense where you have agreed or the law permits.
The tables list cookies and browser storage we currently use on SpinWheelPlus. Names and retention can change as we ship updates; whenever we adjust what we set, we update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top.

The wheel and mystery box editors may also keep draft work in your browser (for example IndexedDB or session storage) until you save to your account or clear site data.
Some features involve third parties that may set their own cookies or read identifiers when you use SpinWheelPlus-for example when you sign in with Google (Google's cookies and policies apply), open embedded wheels or boxes on another site, or use image search or hosting through partners such as Unsplash or Cloudinary. When analytics or ads are enabled, Google Analytics and Google AdSense may also set or read cookies on our pages (except on embed-only views where we omit ad scripts). Third-party practices are covered by their own privacy notices, including Google's Privacy Policy.
You can block, delete, or be notified about cookies through your browser or device settings. Where the law requires consent for non-essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising), we may show a notice or preference tool; choices you save there apply when your browser and our systems support them. Clearing site data for SpinWheelPlus also removes local storage keys such as theme and visitor identifiers. Signing out ends your session cookies.
If you are unsure how to change settings for your browser or device, contact us and we will do our best to help.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no single global standard for how sites should respond. SpinWheelPlus does not rely on DNT alone to decide processing; we follow applicable laws, our Privacy Policy, and any cookie or consent choices shown for your region.
We may revise this cookie policy occasionally. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version on this page, change the "Last updated" date in the introduction, and notify you where the law or our agreement with you requires it (for example by email or an in-app notice).
