Manage Cookies — PicksterWheel.com

At PicksterWheel.com we want to give you full transparency and control over how your data is collected through cookies and similar technologies. This page explains what cookies are, why we use them, which types of cookies may be stored on your device, and how you can manage or disable them at any time. Your privacy, choice, and clarity are our priorities.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions, preferences, and interactions so future visits are smoother and more personalized. Cookies are used by almost all modern websites to improve performance, measure analytics, and ensure secure functionality.

2. Why does PicksterWheel.com use cookies?

We use cookies to deliver a fast, smooth, and customizable experience. Because our platform involves interactive wheel tools, custom saved settings, and personalized preferences, cookies help the site function correctly and remember your choices.

Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure the website loads and functions properly
• Keep your wheel settings active (if applicable)
• Improve performance and speed
• Understand how users interact with our tools
• Fix bugs and security issues
• Personalize certain features
• Provide analytics that help us improve the website
• Support premium features (if you subscribe in the future)

We do not use cookies to store sensitive personal data or to identify you individually without your consent.

3. Types of cookies we use

We classify cookies into several categories to help you understand their purpose.

3.1 Essential / Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. Without them, the platform may malfunction. They enable:

• Core site functionality
• Security and authentication
• Saving wheel interactions during your session
• Basic performance

You cannot disable these cookies in our system, but you may disable them manually through your browser (not recommended).

3.2 Functional cookies

These cookies enhance usability and make PicksterWheel.com more personalized. They allow the platform to:

• Remember your previous wheel entries
• Restore saved preferences
• Keep language or visual settings
• Maintain UI behaviour (if you have custom features enabled)

Disabling functional cookies may result in losing saved wheels or preferences.

These cookies help us understand how visitors use PicksterWheel.com. Examples of data collected:

• Which pages or tools are used most
• How long users stay on the website
• Errors, crashes, or slow performance
• Device and browser patterns

We typically use tools like Google Analytics to process this information. All analytics data is aggregated and not used to identify individual users.

3.4 Advertising & marketing cookies (if enabled in the future)

If we introduce ads or premium features, these cookies help show relevant content and measure marketing performance. They may:

• Show contextual or custom ads
• Measure ad impressions
• Limit repeated ads
• Track referral and affiliate traffic

PicksterWheel.com does not currently run advertising networks, but this section is included for future compatibility. You will always be asked for explicit consent before these cookies are activated.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are placed not by us but by trusted third-party services we integrate with, such as:

• Google Analytics
• Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, if premium features exist)
• Hosting security layers (e.g., Cloudflare)
• Error logging tools
• Future advertising partners (only with consent)

These partners only receive limited technical data necessary for their function. They cannot access or use your personal information without permission.
