This cookie policy explains how Spinpolo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on bjc2024.co.uk. We want you to understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit our site. It helps us recognise your browser on return visits and remember your preferences. Cookies can be session-based, expiring when you close your browser, or persistent, staying on your device until they expire or you delete them.
We use cookies to improve your experience, analyse how our site is used, and deliver relevant content. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others enhance performance or support third-party services we integrate.
What is stored and for how long
The cookies we set fall into several categories, each serving a specific purpose. The table below summarises the types and their typical lifespan.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enable core functionality such as secure login, session management, and load balancing | Session or up to 1 year |
| Performance and analytics | Help us understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and where errors occur | Up to 2 years |
| Functionality | Remember your language preference, region, and other settings | Up to 1 year |
| Marketing and advertising | Deliver personalised content and measure the effectiveness of campaigns | Up to 13 months |
Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because they keep the site working. The other categories require your consent, which you can grant or withdraw through the banner shown on your first visit.
Embedded third parties
Our site integrates services from third-party providers, including analytics platforms, payment processors, and advertising networks. These organisations may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content or widgets. We have no direct control over third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the companies that issue them.
Common third parties on our site include Google Analytics for usage insights, advertising partners for campaign tracking, and hosting providers for infrastructure support. Each operates under its own data-handling terms, and we recommend reviewing those policies if you want a complete picture of data collection.
Declining without breaking the site
You can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and most offer granular controls so you can permit only certain categories. Below are links to the cookie-management pages of the major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies will prevent some features from working properly, particularly those requiring session persistence or user authentication. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without affecting core site functions. Performance, functionality, and marketing cookies can be declined without preventing you from reading content or navigating the site.
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust settings on each one separately. Clearing your browser cache also removes stored cookies, which means you will be asked for consent again on your next visit.
Updates
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the services we integrate. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the bottom of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a banner or email.
Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how we use cookies.
Contact
If you have questions about our use of cookies or this policy, reach our editorial team at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
