Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Wheel Names uses cookies and similar browser technologies. The wheel can use local browser storage to remember entries, history, design choices, skins, sound settings, or feature preferences. These technologies are different from advertising cookies and are controlled through your browser.
Last updated: July 30, 2026
What are cookies and local storage?
A cookie is a small text value a website asks a browser to store and send with later requests. Local storage and session storage save data inside the browser and usually do not travel with every page request. Similar technologies can remember settings, maintain security, or support a feature.
Storage used by Wheel Names
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential and security | Protect forms, rate-limit abuse, maintain a WordPress session for administrators, and deliver cached pages. | Session or a limited operational period. |
| Wheel preferences | Remember entries, colors, sound, spin options, panel state, skins, and similar choices on the same device. | Until cleared, overwritten, or expired by the browser. |
| History and receipts | Keep recent results or locally generated receipt details available to the user. | Until cleared or reset by the user. |
| Contact form state | The contact form hands the message to your configured email application; the page itself does not need a contact-form cookie. | Not applicable unless your email application sets its own data. |
Advertising and sale of data
Wheel Names does not intentionally use third-party advertising cookies to build profiles from wheel entries, and we do not sell wheel-entry data. If analytics, advertising, or a new third-party feature is introduced later, this policy and any required consent controls should be updated before that use begins.
Third-party links and services
Our pages may link to technical documentation, regulators, or other relevant resources. Opening an external website allows that website to apply its own cookies and privacy policy. A link does not give the external site access to entries stored locally by Wheel Names unless you deliberately send or share them.
How to control cookies and browser storage
- Open your browser’s privacy or site-data settings.
- Search for wheelnames.org.
- Review or delete cookies and stored site data.
- Use private browsing when you do not want settings retained after the session.
- Reset wheel history and preferences inside the tool where a reset control is available.
Browser help pages explain how to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear site-specific data. Controls vary by browser and device.
What happens if storage is disabled?
The basic wheel may still work, but saved entries, history, skins, images, sound choices, or other preferences may be lost between visits. Strictly blocking site functionality can also interfere with contact submissions, security checks, or cached content.
Updates and questions
We may update this policy when storage behavior changes. Review the updated date and the Privacy Policy for the broader explanation of information handling. Send questions through Contact Us.
