How this site remembers you
This page explains how wandlerunners.co.uk uses cookies while you're reading our independent coverage of Fish and Spins. A cookie is simply a small text file your browser stores when you visit a website; it lets the site recognise your device on a return visit, remember a setting, or measure which pages get read. None of what follows describes anything the operator itself does on its own platform – this is about our portal only.
We keep the list of cookies deliberately short. Some are needed for the site to function properly, others help us understand which articles are useful, and a smaller set supports advertising. You don't need to accept all of them to read our Fish and Spins content.
| Category | What it does |
|---|---|
| Necessary | Keeps core site functions working – navigation, page loading, security. Cannot be switched off. |
| Analytics (consent) | Tells us, in aggregate, which pages are read and for how long, so we can improve the content. |
| Marketing & advertising (consent) | Supports the ads and affiliate links that keep this portal free to read. |
| Preference | Remembers small choices you've made, such as a dismissed banner. |
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to see, in general terms, whether readers find our Fish and Spins pages useful – which sections get read to the end and which get abandoned early. This data is aggregated; it isn't used to build a personal profile of you, and it never leaves our own reporting tools tied to your name or email address. You can decline analytics cookies without losing access to anything on the site.
Why we bother measuring at all
In practice, this is how we know whether a section – say, the verification steps or the withdrawal limits – is actually being read, or whether it needs rewriting. It's editorial feedback, not a marketing tool.
Scripts we do not control
Some elements on this site, such as embedded widgets or advertising scripts, are provided by third parties. Those providers may set their own cookies once their script loads, and their own privacy notices – not this one – govern what they do with that data. We choose those partners carefully, but we don't control their cookie behaviour directly, so worth checking their own policies if you want the full picture.
Your options for managing cookies
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit. If you'd rather manage things at browser level, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:
- Chrome – Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox – Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari – Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge – Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Turning off non-essential cookies won't stop you reading our Fish and Spins articles, but blocking necessary cookies can occasionally break basic site functions like page navigation.
Revisions to this policy
We may update this page from time to time – to reflect a new tool we've added, a change in the cookies a partner sets, or a change in the law. The version here always reflects current practice, so it's worth a glance if you're a regular reader. This policy was last reviewed on 6 January 2026.
