This policy explains the cookies Spinita places on your device, what they are used for, and the choices available to you. It works alongside the main privacy policy, which covers personal data handling more broadly.
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your device so it can recognise your browser on return visits, keep you signed in, and, where permitted, understand how the site is used in order to improve it.
Essential cookies maintain your login session and support core security checks; they cannot be disabled, since core site functions depend on them. Functional cookies remember preferences such as display options. Analytics cookies gather aggregated, anonymised statistics on how the site is used. Marketing cookies, used only with consent, measure how effective advertising placements are.
A small number of cookies are placed by trusted third parties working on Spinita's behalf, such as analytics tools and payment providers confirming a completed transaction. These parties receive only the data required for their specific function and cannot use it for unrelated purposes of their own.
| Cookie type | Approximate duration |
|---|---|
| Login session | Until the browser is closed |
| Security check | Up to 30 days |
| Cookie consent record | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing (with consent) | Up to 12 months |
A cookie banner on your first visit lets you accept or decline non-essential categories, and this choice can be updated at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer. Cookies can also be controlled directly in your browser, though blocking them broadly may affect how the site works, for example requiring you to sign in more often.
Continuing to use Spinita after setting your cookie preferences confirms that choice for your session. If a new cookie type is introduced that needs consent, the banner reappears rather than relying on an earlier decision made under different terms; this page always reflects the current version of the policy.
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal, but there is no single agreed standard for how sites must respond to it, so Spinita relies on the cookie banner and your saved preferences as the definitive record of consent rather than this signal alone.
Alongside cookies, the site may use local browser storage to remember display settings such as a chosen language or a collapsed menu state. This works in a similar way to a cookie but is not sent back to the server automatically, and it can be cleared through the same browser settings used to remove cookies.
Cookie preferences are set per browser, not per account, so declining non-essential cookies on a phone does not automatically apply the same choice on a desktop browser signed in to the same Spinita account; each device needs its own preference set once.
