Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This page lists everything My Decision Wheel stores in your browser, what each item is for, and which parts you can turn off. The short version: the things that make the tools work are stored on your device and never sent to us, and the only things that leave your browser are the optional analytics and advertising cookies you can decline.
Strictly necessary
These use your browser's local storage rather than cookies, which means they are never attached to a network request and never reach a server. They are what allow the site to remember your wheel between visits, so they cannot be switched off without breaking the tools.
| Name | Type | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your wheels and coin setups | Local storage | Keeps the wheel you built, its entries, weights, colours and settings so the page is not blank when you come back. | Until you clear site data |
| Saved items and spin history | Local storage | Stores wheels you explicitly save and the record of past results shown on the history page. | Until you clear site data |
| wd:theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. | Until you clear site data |
| wd:locale | Local storage | Remembers the interface language you last selected. | Until you clear site data |
| wd:consent:v1 | Local storage | Records whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies, so the notice does not reappear on every visit. | Until you clear site data |
Optional — analytics and advertising
These are set by Google and are denied by default. The site uses Google Consent Mode v2, so on your first visit both categories start in a denied state and stay that way unless you accept. Decline and Google receives only cookieless, anonymous signals.
| Name | Type | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Cookies and storage set by Google | Aggregate, anonymous usage measurement — for example that a spin happened or a page was opened. Never the text you type into a wheel. | Set by Google; declined by default |
| Google AdSense | Cookies and storage set by Google | Serving and measuring the ads that pay for the site, and limiting how often you see the same ad. May be personalised or non-personalised depending on your choice. | Set by Google; declined by default |
Google may use an advertising cookie to serve ads across the web. You can review and control that in your Google Ad settings, and read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
What is never collected
The entries you type into a wheel — names, dishes, options, anything — are never sent to us, to Google Analytics, or to any advertiser. Neither is your spin history. There is no account system, so there is no email address, profile or identifier tied to any of this.
Changing your mind
Your choice is stored locally and you can change it whenever you like, either with the button below or from the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page.
You can also clear everything this site has stored — including your saved wheels — through your browser's own settings for site data. That is irreversible, and we cannot recover it, because none of it was ever on our servers.
