How this site remembers you
This page explains how bsafc.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our Superspin review portal. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function properly and give us insight into how visitors use our content. We keep this policy straightforward – you'll know what's happening behind the scenes, what you can control, and what sits outside our hands.
bsafc.co.uk is an independent information portal. We write about Superspin; we don't operate the platform itself. The cookies described here relate solely to our own site – what the operator collects once you register with them is governed by their own privacy policy, not ours.
The analytics question
We use a small number of cookies to understand how readers navigate the portal – which pages are visited, how long someone stays, and where traffic arrives from. This data is anonymous and aggregated; it helps us improve the layout and focus our writing on what matters most to UK players researching Superspin.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, load balancing | Session or up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Visitor counts, page views, traffic sources | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Language settings, display choices | Up to 1 year |
Necessary cookies keep the site working – they handle your session, remember you've seen the cookie banner, and help distribute server load. We can't turn these off without breaking core functionality.
Analytics cookies require your consent. These track page visits and click patterns in aggregate form. No personally identifiable information is collected – we see numbers, not names. If you decline analytics cookies through the banner, we'll respect that choice and won't load the tracking scripts.
Preference cookies store non-essential choices like display settings. They make your return visits smoother but aren't required for the site to function.
Scripts we do not control
Some elements on this portal – embedded videos, social-media share buttons, advertising widgets – are served by third parties. Those organisations may set their own cookies when you interact with their content, and those cookies are governed by their own policies, not ours. Common third-party services include:
- Google Analytics – tracks visitor behaviour in anonymised form
- YouTube – sets cookies when you play an embedded video
- Advertising networks – may use cookies for ad targeting and frequency capping
We don't control what those third parties collect or how they use it. If you want to block third-party cookies altogether, the browser-level controls below will handle that across every site you visit.
Your options
You can manage cookies at two levels: through the consent banner that appears on your first visit to bsafc.co.uk, or directly in your browser settings. The banner lets you accept or decline optional categories – analytics and preference – while keeping the necessary ones active. Your choice is stored so you won't be asked again on every page.
At the browser level, you have more sweeping control. Here's how to adjust cookie settings in the most common browsers used in the UK:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies" – note that blocking all cookies will break login functionality on most sites.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" or custom blocking rules.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies, or "Prevent cross-site tracking" for a middle ground.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Toggle "Block third-party cookies" on or off.
Blocking all cookies will stop analytics and preferences, but it will also prevent you from staying logged into accounts, saving items to baskets, or using any feature that requires the site to remember you between pages. Most people find that blocking third-party cookies – which handles the advertising and tracking scripts – strikes a sensible balance.
Good to know: declining cookies through our banner or your browser doesn't affect your ability to read this portal. Every page, every review, and every guide remains fully accessible. You'll simply browse without us knowing you were here.
Revisions
We update this policy when our use of cookies changes – when we add a new analytics tool, remove an old one, or adjust what data we collect. The date at the foot of this page shows when the policy was last revised. Significant changes will be flagged in a banner for returning visitors, though you're welcome to check back any time.
If you have questions about how bsafc.co.uk uses cookies, or if you'd like to know which specific cookies are active right now, write to us at [email protected]. We'll reply within 48 hours on weekdays.
