Summary of the purpose of the cookie policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Spinmama collects and uses cookies when you visit spinmama-bonus.ca. Cookies are small but they matter - they shape your experience on the site in ways most people never think about. We want to be upfront about all of it. This document covers what cookies we use, why we use them, how long they stick around, and what you can do if you’d rather we didn’t. Short version: we use cookies to make the site work properly and to understand how people actually use it. That’s it.
What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that a website drops onto your device - your laptop, phone, tablet, whatever you’re browsing on - when you visit. They sit there quietly and do things like remember your preferences or keep track of which pages you’ve looked at. Some cookies disappear the moment you close your browser. Others hang around for months. Neither type contains your name, your password, or anything personally identifying on its own. They’re more like sticky notes than surveillance cameras. Still, you have every right to know they’re there.
There are a few different kinds worth knowing about. Session cookies only last as long as your visit. Persistent cookies stick around after you leave and come back the next time. First-party cookies come from us directly. Third-party cookies come from external services we’ve integrated, like analytics tools.
How and why cookies are used
We use cookies for a handful of specific reasons. Performance cookies help us figure out which pages load slowly, which ones people bounce off immediately, and where the site might be letting users down. That data is anonymous - we’re looking at patterns, not individual people.
Functional cookies remember things like your language setting or display preferences so you don’t have to reset them every visit. Analytics cookies, typically from tools like Google Analytics, give us aggregate stats: how many visitors came today, where they’re from, which articles got read. We don’t sell that data. We use it to make Spinmama better.
We don’t run advertising cookies on this site. No retargeting, no ad networks tracking you across the web from here.
Your rights
You’ve got real choices here. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings - usually under something like “Privacy” or “Security” in the menu. You can also use browser extensions that give you more granular control. Saying no to cookies won’t lock you out of the site, though some features might not work quite as smoothly.
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, Google offers a browser add-on that does exactly that. We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible, though browser support for that standard is inconsistent across platforms.

Effective Date
This Cookie Policy is effective as of January 1, 2026. We’ll update it if anything changes about how we use cookies, and the new version will be posted here with a revised date. Checking back occasionally is a good habit.
