Cookie Policy

Effective & Last Updated: 9 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Smart Picker Wheel (accessible at smartpickerwheel.com) uses cookies, web beacons, browser local storage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Browser Local Storage: In addition to cookies, Smart Picker Wheel uses HTML5 Local Storage (localStorage). Local storage allows data (such as your saved picker wheel lists and sound preferences) to be saved locally within your web browser. Local storage data stays entirely on your device and is never sent to our servers.

2. Why We Use Cookies & Storage Technologies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Essential Local Storage (First-Party): Required for the functional operation of the picker tools (saving custom option lists, storing slice limits, preserving volume settings).
  • Analytics & Performance (Google Analytics 4): Helps us analyze website traffic, measure tool popularity, and diagnose technical errors. All IP addresses are anonymized.
  • Advertising & Marketing (Google AdSense & DoubleClick): Enables Google and its third-party partners to serve relevant advertisements, prevent ad fraud, and cap ad frequency.
