Manage Cookies – Picksterwheel.com

Last Updated: February 9, 2026

At Picksterwheel.com, we utilize cookies, web beacons, and advanced tracking technologies to ensure the best possible user experience for our randomization tools. This policy explains our commitment to transparency and our alignment with global privacy standards, including Google’s Consent Mode v2.

1. Definitions: Cookies, Web Beacons, and Tracking Pixels

In addition to standard cookies (small text files), we use Web Beacons (pixel tags or clear GIFs) and Locally Stored Objects (LSOs) to monitor user interactions and deliver advertising. These technologies help us recognize you across sessions, analyze how you interact with Picksterwheel.com, and optimize site performance and security.

2. Legal Basis: Consent and Legitimate Interest

We process data based on two legal grounds: Consent (for marketing and advanced analytics cookies via our Consent Management Platform) and Legitimate Interest (for essential functions such as site security, load balancing, and basic performance monitoring).

3. Detailed Cookie Categorization & Durations

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the tool's operation (e.g., session tokens and security layers). These expire when you close your browser.
  • Functional Cookies: Used to remember your custom wheel entries and UI settings. These may remain for up to 1 year to ensure consistency on return visits.
  • Performance & Analytics: We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous traffic data. These cookies typically have a lifespan ranging from the session duration up to 2 years.
  • Targeting & Advertising: Set by Google AdSense and its partners to show personalized ads. These cookies may remain on your device for up to 180 days.

4. Google AdSense & Personalized Advertising

As an AdSense publisher, we comply with Google’s Publisher Policies. Google uses advertising cookies (e.g., the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your interests. Our advertising partners may collect your IP address to measure ad effectiveness; you can manage these preferences via our on-site Consent Tool or at Google’s Advertising Privacy page.

5. "Do Not Track" (DNT) and Global Privacy Control

While there is no universal industry standard for "Do Not Track" signals, Picksterwheel.com respects your privacy choices. We recommend using our internal Consent Management tool to manually opt-out of any tracking that is not strictly necessary for the site's operation.

6. How to Revoke Consent

  • Consent Tool: Re-open the preference center via the "Manage Cookies" link in our footer to adjust your choices.
  • Browser & Mobile Settings: Configure your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) or mobile OS settings to block cookies or reset your advertising ID.

7. Contact Information

We regularly review this policy to ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Google’s latest transparency requirements. For any inquiries, please contact: Email: picksterwheel.com@gmail.com
