A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies are an everyday part of the web, used by almost every site you visit to remember preferences, keep you signed in and measure how the site is being used. Need for Spin uses cookies in four categories, each of which has a different purpose and a different level of privacy impact.
Essential cookies are the ones that the site cannot function without. They keep you signed in, remember your shopping basket if you have items in the loyalty shop, protect against cross site request forgery and a handful of other security tasks. Essential cookies do not require consent under data protection law because they are strictly necessary for the service you have asked for.
Functional and analytics cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences across sessions. They are the cookies that keep your language set to English, your currency set to GBP or EUR and your favourite games at the top of the lobby. Analytics cookies are anonymous and used to measure how the site is being used. They tell us which pages are popular, which buttons are tapped most often and where players get stuck. The data is aggregated and never linked back to your account.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and promotional campaigns. They tell us which campaigns brought new players to the site and how those players behaved after they arrived. We do not use marketing cookies to build advertising profiles for sale to third parties, and we do not use them to retarget you with adverts across other sites unless you have given us specific consent to do so through the cookie banner.
Managing your preferences
The cookie banner that appears the first time you visit lets you accept all cookies, customise your preferences by category or reject everything except the essential category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, including blocking all cookies, blocking third party cookies only or deleting cookies that are already stored.
How long cookies are stored
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for a defined period that varies by purpose, ranging from twenty four hours for some essential cookies up to twenty four months for some analytics cookies. The full list with expiry times is available on request from our support team if you would like to see it.
What cookies does Need for Spin set?
The site sets cookies in four categories. Essential cookies cover login, session, security and basket. Functional cookies cover language, currency and lobby preferences. Analytics cookies cover anonymous usage measurement. Marketing cookies cover promotional campaign measurement. Only the essential category is set automatically. Every other category requires your consent through the cookie banner before any cookie is stored.
How do I change my cookie preferences?
The simplest way is to click the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. The cookie banner reopens and you can change your preferences by category. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, which is a more powerful option because it works across every site you visit, not just this one. The browser approach can block all cookies, block third party cookies only or delete cookies that are already stored on your device.
Do you use third party cookies?
We use a small number of third party cookies, mostly from our analytics provider and our payment processors. The analytics cookies are anonymous and used only to measure how the site is being used. The payment cookies are set when you make a deposit or withdrawal and are required for the payment to work securely. We do not use third party advertising cookies that track you across the web unless you have specifically consented to marketing cookies through the banner.
What happens if I reject cookies?
If you reject every cookie category except essential, the site will still work. You will be able to sign in, play, deposit and withdraw. You may notice some minor differences, such as your language preference resetting between sessions or the lobby not remembering your favourites. Analytics and marketing measurement will be turned off for your visits, which is fine, the site will continue to function for everyone else as normal.
