How Daytona Spin Uses Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. It holds a short piece of information, such as a session identifier or a preference, and it is sent back to the site the next time you visit. Cookies cannot run programs, read other files on your device or carry a virus. Some are set by us, others by services we use, and modern browsers let you see and delete them all.

• Keeping you logged in while you move between the lobby, a game and the cashier.
• Protecting the account, by spotting suspicious sessions and unusual behaviour.
• Remembering preferences such as display settings and the last section you used.
• Understanding which pages and games are popular, so the site can be improved.
• Measuring whether a promotion reached the people it was meant for, where you have agreed to marketing cookies.

Four groups, and only the first cannot be switched off.

These make the account work: signing in, staying signed in, moving to the cashier and completing a payment. They also support security checks that block automated abuse. Because the site cannot function without them, they are not optional.

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and disappear when you close it, which is why a session ends when you quit. Persistent cookies stay for a set period so the site recognises your device on the next visit, and they are removed when they expire or when you clear them.

Analytics cookies count visits and show how people move around the site, in aggregated form rather than by name. They tell us which pages are read, which games are opened and where visitors give up, which is the information used to fix confusing pages.

These remember choices you have already made, such as display preferences or the last lobby category you used, so you do not set them again on every visit.

Set by partners rather than by us, and only with your consent. They measure whether a campaign worked, for example whether a visitor arrived from a particular page. The partner concerned controls those cookies under its own privacy policy.

It depends on the job. Session cookies are deleted the moment the browser closes. Persistent cookies last for a defined period set when they are created, which can be days or months, and each one expires automatically at the end of it. Clearing site data in your browser removes both kinds immediately.

Two places control this: the cookie banner on the site and the settings in your browser.

• Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies and Site data.
• Safari: Settings or Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block cookies and manage website data.
• Firefox: Settings, then Privacy and Security, under Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

On a phone the same options sit in the browser settings rather than in the operating system. One warning before you clear everything: blocking strictly necessary cookies means you will not be able to log in or use the cashier, since the site has no way to keep your session open.

Flash technology is obsolete and no longer used by modern browsers or by our games. Similar information can still be held in browser local storage, which works like a cookie but is managed by the site itself. It is cleared together with cookies when you delete site data for this domain.

Where a cookie can be linked to you, for example because you are logged in, the information it carries is treated as personal data. What we do with it, how long it is kept and the rights you can exercise are set out in the Daytona Spin privacy policy.

This page is updated when the cookies we use change or when the law requires it, and the current version always carries its date at the top.
