Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026. A transparent look at the enchanted cookies powering your adventure.

This Cookie Policy explains how Paperjoyspinner.homes ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, what data they collect, and the choices you have to control their use. This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect and process personal data more broadly.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to site owners. Cookies cannot harm your device, contain malware, or access other files on your system.

In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and web beacons may be used to perform comparable functions. In this Policy, "cookies" refers to all such technologies collectively.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use a small, carefully curated set of cookies. They fall into the following categories:

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, accessibility, network management, and form submission. Without them, certain services you have requested cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies.

b) Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as preferences) and provide a more personalized experience.

c) Analytical / Performance Cookies

If used, these cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with the website — such as which pages are most visited, how users move through the site, and whether they encounter errors. The information is aggregated and helps us improve the Platform. We do not currently use third-party analytics that profile individual visitors.

d) Advertising / Targeting Cookies

We do not use advertising, retargeting, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not share data with ad networks or social-media platforms for marketing purposes.

3. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Paperjoyspinner.homes when you visit our site. Almost all cookies we use are first-party.

Third-party cookies are set by services we may embed (for example, an external game iframe or font provider). Where used, these are limited to essential functionality. We do not allow third parties to use these cookies for advertising or profiling.

4. Duration: Session vs Persistent Cookies

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Where required by law (such as the EU GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, or the UK PECR regulations), we obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies via our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest, as they are required for the site to function.

6. Your Cookie Choices

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:

Please note: if you disable or delete cookies, certain features of our Platform may not work properly, including form submissions, popup management, and remembering your consent preferences.

7. How to Manage Cookies in Popular Browsers

8. Local Storage & Session Storage

In addition to traditional cookies, we use the browser's local and session storage to remember small pieces of information such as popup display state and consent acknowledgment. These can be cleared manually through your browser's developer tools or by clearing browsing data.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is currently no consistent industry standard for honoring DNT signals, our website does not respond to them. However, we do not engage in cross-site behavioral tracking regardless of DNT status.

10. Children & Cookies

Paperjoyspinner is intended for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has interacted with our Platform, please contact us so we can remove related data.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect technological, legal, or operational changes. Material updates will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
