Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are compact data files that a website deposits on your browser or device during a visit. They serve a range of functions — from keeping you logged in, to remembering preferences, to protecting a site against automated attacks. This policy sets out clearly and completely which cookies appear on olympspinhub.com, who places them, and what they actually do.
2. Cookies We Use
OlympSpinHub uses only technically necessary cookies set by Cloudflare, our content delivery network and security provider. We do not set any cookies ourselves beyond what Cloudflare requires for security and performance.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm |
Cloudflare | Bot management — distinguishes legitimate human users from automated bots to protect the site from malicious traffic. | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance |
Cloudflare | Security clearance — confirms that a visitor has successfully passed a Cloudflare security challenge. Prevents repeated challenge prompts. | Up to 1 year |
__cflb |
Cloudflare | Load balancing — routes your requests to the appropriate server for optimal performance. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
3. Cookies We Do NOT Use
To be unambiguous about the scope of our cookie use, the following categories of cookies are entirely absent from olympspinhub.com:
- Advertising or marketing cookies of any description
- Analytics or measurement cookies — including Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or any equivalent product
- Social media tracking pixels or share-measurement tools such as the Meta Pixel
- Personalisation, preference, or user-customisation cookies
- Cross-site tracking cookies or any technology that builds a profile of your online activity
4. Google Fonts
The typefaces displayed on olympspinhub.com are fetched from Google's font servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). No cookie is deposited by this process, but your IP address is transmitted to Google as a standard part of the HTTP request. Google may record this request as described in their privacy notice at policies.google.com/privacy. This data transfer may involve sending your IP address to servers in the United States. Our Privacy Policy provides further detail on all third-party data flows and the safeguards in place.
5. PECR Exemption — No Consent Required
Each of the Cloudflare cookies documented above qualifies for the strictly necessary exemption under PECR Regulation 6(4). This classification reflects a genuine technical dependency: the website cannot be delivered securely and reliably without these cookies performing their protective functions. As a result, UK law does not require us to seek your consent before placing them.
The absence of a cookie consent pop-up on olympspinhub.com is therefore deliberate and lawful — it reflects the strictly necessary nature of our cookies, not an oversight or an attempt to avoid transparency.
6. sessionStorage (Not a Cookie)
OlympSpinHub's games rely on your browser's sessionStorage API — a session-scoped, in-memory storage layer — to track your virtual coin balance during a session. sessionStorage is not a cookie: it is never transmitted to our servers, it is never shared with third parties, and it is automatically deleted when you close your browser tab. It contains only your virtual coin balance (a single number) and best puzzle times.
7. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
You retain full control over cookies via your browser's privacy settings, even when those cookies are classified as strictly necessary. Removing or blocking Cloudflare's security cookies may cause olympspinhub.com to behave unexpectedly, display security challenge pages more frequently, or — in some configurations — fail to load correctly. Instructions for the most widely used browsers are provided below.
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
This policy will be revised whenever our cookie use changes — whether due to a new infrastructure provider, a change in Cloudflare's configuration, or any other development. Revisions are marked by an updated date at the top of the document. We recommend reviewing this page from time to time if you care about the details of our cookie practices.
