Last Updated: 10 April, 2020
This Cookie Policy ("Cookie Policy" or "Policy") applies to all websites owned or operated by QuidSpinHub.com (hereafter referred to as the "Site/s", "NI", "us", or "we"). By using or accessing our Site, you acknowledge and agree to our use of cookies as outlined in this Policy.
We reserve the right to update or amend this Policy at any time. Should significant changes be made, you will be informed via the Site/s. We recommend checking this page regularly to stay up to date with our latest privacy practices. By continuing to use the Site, you agree to any changes in this Policy. If you do not agree with the terms, your options are to stop using the Site or to manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
This Cookie Policy forms an essential part of our Privacy Policy, and any terms we define there will carry the same meaning here. In this Policy, you'll find information about:

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files placed in your browser that let the Site or third parties recognize you as a visitor (not personally as an individual). They serve several functions: enabling key site features, collecting analytics, storing your preferences, and supporting ad delivery and personalized advertising.
Cookies fall into two main types: session cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain until their set expiry or until you manually remove them. Expiry can range from minutes to much longer. “First party cookies” come from the website you’re on; “third party cookies” come from others, such as advertisers.
Cookies are often paired with pixel tags—transparent images also known as web beacons or clear GIFs. These are used to track actions on the Site, analyze traffic, or measure referrals and retargeting, as described in our Privacy Policy and below.

How Are Cookies Used When I Visit the
Site?
When you browse or interact with our Site, cookies may be placed by us or trusted third parties. Some are only active when you use specific features or set preferences; others are longer-lasting, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
Cookies generally fall into these categories:
- Essential Cookies: These first party cookies are required for important functions, such as staying logged in or making purchases.
- Analytics Cookies: These track how the Site is used, helping us improve performance and test new features or ads. Analytics cookies can be from us or third parties.

-
How Do Third Parties Use Cookies on the
Site?
Third parties—like analytics providers, vendors, or ad networks—typically use cookies to collect anonymous user data. They may analyze this information to better understand behavior on our Site and others you visit.

Third Party Cookies
Our site utilizes a variety of products and features from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
-
Google Analytics
- We leverage Google Analytics to better understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files placed on your device—to generate data about your usage (including your IP address), which is then transmitted to Google servers in the United States.
- For privacy protection, we employ the “gat._anonymize();” function, which anonymizes IP addresses through IP-masking.
- When IP anonymization is activated, Google shortens IP addresses for users in the EU and EEA before processing. In rare cases, the full IP address is sent to Google’s US servers and then truncated. Google analyzes site usage for us, compiles reports, and provides additional related services—but does not merge your IP with other Google data. You can block cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality. To opt out of Google’s data collection (cookies and IP), you can also install the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
- Prefer not to be tracked? You can also opt out of Google Analytics with an opt-out cookie using the following link:
- Disable Google Analytics
- For more details, see Google’s terms of use and privacy policy at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/. This website uses Google Analytics’ “anonymizeIp” function to protect user privacy.

This enables us to tailor marketing specifically to your interests.

- For interest-based advertising, we use Facebook Custom Audiences. This creates a non-reversible, non-personal hash value from your usage data, which is sent to Facebook for analysis and marketing. The data—such as your site activities and IP address (for geo-targeting)—is encrypted and anonymous to us; we never see your personal details.
- For more on Facebook’s privacy practices, visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ or https://www.facebook.com/business/a/online-sales/custom-audiences-website. If you wish to opt out of Custom Audience tracking, you can do so here.
