This Cookie Policy explains how JerkSpin uses cookies and similar storage technologies on its website.

This policy should be read alongside the JerkSpin Privacy Policy, which covers broader personal data processing practices.
By continuing to use the JerkSpin website, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with this policy. Where required by applicable law, your consent will be sought before non-essential cookies are activated.

Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to all cookies and local storage mechanisms used on the JerkSpin website. It does not govern the data practices of third-party services that may be linked from or integrated into the platform.
Cookies Overview
Cookies are a standard web technology used by most modern websites. This section explains in plain terms what cookies are and how they relate to data collected during your visit to JerkSpin.
What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. It may contain a unique identifier and limited information about your session, such as login state or language preference. Cookies do not typically carry personally sensitive information on their own.
When you return to the website, the cookie is read by the server, allowing the platform to recognise your device and recall relevant settings. This process supports continuity across your browsing sessions.
How Cookies Relate to Personal Data
In some cases, data stored in cookies may be linked to your account profile or other personal data held by JerkSpin. For example, an authentication cookie may be tied to your registered user identity. Where this occurs, the processing of that data falls under the JerkSpin Privacy Policy as well as this document.
Data collected through cookies may include device identifiers, browser type, session timestamps, and usage patterns. This information is used to support site functionality and security, not for purposes unrelated to the platform.
Types of Cookies
Cookies differ in how long they remain on your device and what purpose they serve. Understanding this distinction helps clarify what data is stored and for how long.
Session Cookies
Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These cookies maintain continuity within a single session, for example keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
Session cookies do not persist between visits and carry no long-term storage of personal data. They are typically essential to the operation of the website.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after your session ends, or until you delete them manually. They allow the website to recall your preferences or account status on your next visit.
The lifespan of a persistent cookie varies. Some expire after a few hours, others after several months. JerkSpin uses persistent cookies where necessary to maintain account security, store user preferences, and support compliance and fraud-prevention processes.
Cookie Categories
Not all cookies serve the same function. JerkSpin uses distinct categories of cookies, each with a defined purpose and legal basis.
| Category | Purpose | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 🛡️ Essential | Core site functions: login, security, session management | Yes |
| ⚙️ Functionality | Remembering user preferences, language, display settings | Conditional |
| 📊 Analytics | Aggregated usage data to improve site performance | Optional |
| 🎯 Targeting | Behavioural or interest-based advertising signals | Optional |
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the website to operate. Without them, features such as login authentication, account access, and secure session handling would not function correctly. These cookies cannot be disabled without preventing access to core platform features.
Because essential cookies are technically necessary, they do not require your consent under most applicable frameworks. They are activated as soon as you access the site.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made, such as preferred language, display settings, or previously entered details in forms. They improve usability by reducing the need to re-enter information on each visit.
These cookies are not strictly required but enhance your experience. Where consent is required, JerkSpin will request it before placing functionality cookies.
How Cookies Are Used
This section explains the practical role cookies play across different aspects of the JerkSpin website. Each use case reflects a specific function tied to account access, performance, or compliance.
User Authentication and Security
When you log in to your JerkSpin account, an authentication cookie is created to maintain your session. This prevents you from being logged out as you move between pages and helps verify that requests made during your session originate from your authorised device.
Security-related cookies also assist in detecting unusual activity, such as login attempts from unrecognised devices or locations. This supports JerkSpin’s fraud prevention and account protection processes.
Preferences and Settings Storage
Cookies store information about your interface preferences, including display options and any settings you have adjusted during your session. This means you do not need to reconfigure preferences every time you visit.
For registered users, certain preferences may be linked to your account profile rather than stored solely in a cookie. In those cases, the information persists across devices and is governed by your account data settings.
Site Performance and Usage
Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying data about how users interact with the website. This includes which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. JerkSpin uses this data to identify technical issues and improve site reliability.
This data is not used to build individual user profiles and is typically processed in aggregate form only.
User Choices and Cookie Control
Users have the right to manage, limit, or refuse cookies placed on their device. JerkSpin provides options to control cookie usage, though some choices may affect how the website functions.
What Happens if You Disable Cookies
Disabling all cookies will prevent session cookies from functioning, which means you may not be able to log in or maintain an active account session. Essential platform features depend on these cookies and cannot be replicated without them.
Non-essential cookies, such as analytics or targeting cookies, can generally be disabled without affecting your ability to access the site. Some personalisation features may be reduced if functionality cookies are turned off.
Withdrawing Consent
Where you have given consent for non-essential cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
To withdraw consent, you can adjust your cookie preferences through your browser settings or, where available, through a consent management tool on the JerkSpin website. Changes take effect for future sessions.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings menus. The steps vary by browser, but the options are generally accessible without technical knowledge.

- 🖥️ In Chrome: open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Other Site Data. From here you can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear existing cookies.
- 🦊 In Firefox: open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then choose your preferred cookie blocking level under Enhanced Tracking Protection. You can also clear cookies from the same menu.
Safari and Other Browsers
- 🍎 In Safari on iPhone or iPad: go to Settings, scroll to Safari, and select Block All Cookies. You can also clear history and website data from this menu.
- 🔵 In Microsoft Edge: open Settings, select Cookies and Site Permissions, and manage cookie preferences or clear stored data from there.
- 🌍 For other browsers: consult the browser’s built-in help documentation, typically accessible through the Help menu or the official support site for that browser.
Third-Party Cookie Tools
Browser extensions and privacy-focused tools such as uBlock Origin or similar software can provide additional control over cookies beyond what the default browser settings offer. JerkSpin does not endorse any specific third-party tool but acknowledges their availability as a user option.
Disclosure and Data Sharing via Cookies
Some cookies used on the JerkSpin website involve third-party services. This section outlines what data may be shared and under what conditions.
Third-Party Services
Certain analytics or performance tools may set their own cookies when integrated into the JerkSpin platform. These third parties may receive aggregated or pseudonymised data about site usage. JerkSpin does not authorise these parties to use cookie data for purposes outside the scope defined in their respective data processing agreements.
Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the relevant service providers. JerkSpin recommends reviewing those policies separately if you are concerned about third-party data handling.
Data Retained Through Cookies
| Data Type | Source | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| 🔐 Session token | Authentication cookie | Until browser is closed |
| 🧾 Language preference | Functionality cookie | Up to 12 months |
| 📈 Usage analytics | Analytics cookie | Up to 13 months (aggregated) |
| 🏦 Payment session marker | Security cookie | Duration of active session |
Security and Protection of Cookie Data
JerkSpin applies technical measures to protect data stored in and transmitted by cookies. These measures are designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or interception.
Technical Safeguards
Authentication and session cookies are transmitted over encrypted connections where HTTPS is active. Cookies that store sensitive session identifiers are configured with security flags where supported by the browser, limiting exposure to cross-site access.
JerkSpin does not store payment card numbers or other sensitive financial data in cookies. Payment-related session markers are limited in scope and tied to active sessions only.
User Responsibilities
Users should avoid sharing devices or leaving browser sessions open on shared computers. Clearing cookies after use on a public or shared device reduces the risk of another person accessing session data.
If you suspect unauthorised access to your JerkSpin account, contact support immediately and clear your browser cookies and cache as a precautionary step.
Compliance and Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy is reviewed periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, platform features, or industry standards. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
Regulatory Basis
