Cookie Policy – Katanaspin
What this page covers
This policy explains how uk-katanaspin.uk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We'll walk you through what gets stored when you visit this portal, why it's there, and how you can turn it off if you'd rather not be tracked. This document was last updated on 26 November 2025.
If you have questions about anything here, write to [email protected]. We're an independent information portal covering Katanaspin – not the operator itself – so the cookies described below are ours, not theirs.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site recognise you on a return visit – which page you were reading, which settings you chose, whether you've already seen a particular banner. Some cookies disappear the moment you close your browser; others stick around for months or years.
We use them for three main reasons: to keep the site working, to understand how people use it, and to show relevant content. You'll find the breakdown in the table below.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep the site functional – session management, security, load balancing | Session or up to 24 hours |
| Analytics | Measure traffic, identify popular pages, track how visitors navigate | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Deliver targeted advertising, measure campaign performance | Up to 1 year |
| Preference | Remember your language choice, layout settings, consent decisions | Up to 1 year |
What is stored and for how long
Necessary cookies run without asking. They handle session identifiers, prevent cross-site request forgery, and remember that you've logged in (if we ever introduce user accounts). These disappear when you close your browser or within 24 hours, whichever comes first.
Analytics cookies – currently Google Analytics – count visits, track which pages get read, and show us where people drop off. They store a random identifier tied to your browser, not your name or email. We've configured Analytics to anonymise IP addresses before they're logged. These cookies expire after two years of inactivity.
Marketing and advertising cookies support the affiliate arrangements that keep this portal running. They record which link you clicked to arrive here, whether you went on to register with the operator, and how long you spent on each page. Third-party ad networks may set their own cookies when you see a banner or a promotional block. These typically last a year.
Preference cookies remember choices you've made – whether you've dismissed a notification, which currency you prefer to see in examples, whether you've accepted the cookie banner itself. They last up to a year unless you clear them manually.
Embedded third parties
We embed content from other services – YouTube for video walkthroughs, Twitter for live updates from the operator's social accounts, advertising scripts from affiliate networks. Each of those platforms may drop its own cookies the moment their content loads, and we don't control what they collect or how long they keep it. Worth checking their own privacy policies if that concerns you: YouTube's is at policies.google.com/privacy, Twitter's at twitter.com/privacy.
Good to know: disabling third-party cookies in your browser stops most of this tracking, though it may also break embedded video players and social-media feeds.
Advertising and affiliate tracking
This portal earns a commission when a reader registers with the operator after clicking through from one of our pages. The tracking cookie that enables that referral is set by the affiliate network, not by us directly, and it typically carries your click timestamp, the page you were on, and a campaign identifier. It does not collect your name, email or payment details – the operator handles that data separately, under its own privacy policy, once you've created an account on its platform.
Declining without breaking the site
You can turn cookies off in any modern browser. The steps vary slightly, but the principle is the same: find the privacy or content settings panel, locate the cookies section, and either block all of them or just the third-party ones. Here's where to look in the four most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies".
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" or enable Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies, or just "Prevent cross-site tracking".
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Toggle "Block third-party cookies" or clear them after each session.
Blocking all cookies will stop analytics and advertising but may also prevent the site from remembering your language preference or whether you've already dismissed a banner. Blocking only third-party cookies is usually the sweet spot – the portal still works, but ad networks and social platforms can't follow you around.
Mobile browsers
On iOS, open Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies or "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking". On Android, open Chrome → Settings → Site settings → Cookies, then choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies". The principle holds: third-party blocking keeps the site usable while cutting off most tracking.
Updates
We update this policy whenever we add a new analytics tool, change affiliate networks, or embed a new third-party service. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. If a change materially affects what we collect or how long we keep it, we'll post a notice on the homepage for at least two weeks.
