Cookies & Similar Technologies

01

What are cookies?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit a website. Cookies help us understand how the website is being used and helps us to improve your experience. Our vendors and partners may also use these tools. These may include browser or flash cookies. We may also use web beacons and similar technologies.

02

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

03

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

04

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

05

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

06

We Use Tracking Technologies for a Variety of Reasons

We use tracking tools:

  • To recognize new or past customers.
  • To store your password if you are registered on our site.
  • To improve our website.
  • To serve you with interest-based or targeted advertising (see below for more on interest-based advertising).
  • To observe behavioural and browsing activities across multiple websites or other platforms.
  • To better understand the interests of our customers and our website visitors.
07

We Engage in Interest-Based Advertising on Our Adult Directed Services

We and our partners display interest-based advertising using information gathered about you over time across multiple websites or other platforms.
This might include apps.

Interest-based advertising includes ads served to you after you leave our website, encouraging you to return. They also include ads we think are relevant based on your shopping habits or online activities. These ads might be served on websites or on apps. They might also be served in emails. We might serve these ads, or third parties may serve ads. They might be about our products or other companies’ products.

08

How Do We Gather Relevant Information About You for Interest-Based Advertising?

To decide what is relevant to you, we use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties. We gather this information using the tracking tools described above. For example, we or our partners might look at your purchases or browsing behaviours. We might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others.

We work with third parties who help gather this information. These third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect. That might include past purchases made offline or online. Or, it might include online usage information.

09

You Can Control Cookies

You may opt-out of cookies by clicking on the Cookies Preferences section of our site and choosing the category of cookies that you would like to allow or reject.

Your browser may also give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so depends on the type of cookie. Certain browsers can be set to reject browser cookies. To control flash cookies, which we may use on certain websites from time to time, you can go here. Why? Because flash cookies cannot be controlled through your browser settings.

If you block cookies or enable your browser’s “do not track” settings, certain features on our sites may not work.

Choices you make are both browser and device-specific.

11

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track aggregated website behavior, such as how often a particular user may visit our Site, how the user got to our Site, and the user’s activity on our Site. We use this information to improve the user experience and determine site effectiveness. If you would like to access what browsing information we have - or ask us to delete any GA data - please delete your _ga cookies, reach out to us at dpo@spinmaster.com, and/or install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
