Cookie Policy

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how (“we”, “our”, “us”), the operator of Spawnzone, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on spawnzone.org. Our aim is to be open about what is stored on your device when you visit us, and why.

We use cookies in line with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

By continuing to use the website, you accept the use of essential cookies. Any other cookies are placed only with your consent, as explained in the sections below.

2. What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small data file that a website saves on your computer, phone or other device when you visit it. Cookies allow a website to keep its core features working, remember your choices and show us how the site can be improved.

Depending on how long they last, cookies fall into two groups:

• session cookies, which are removed as soon as you close your browser;
• persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire, or you delete them.

3. Cookies That Are Always On

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. For example, they let you keep items in your cart and complete checkout.

Because the website cannot work without them, these cookies are active by default, do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.

4. Cookies Set Only With Your Consent

We place the following types of cookies only after you have agreed to them:

• Analytics and performance cookies show us how visitors use the website, for example which pages they open and the route they take through the site.
• Functionality cookies remember your settings and choices, such as your preferred language or items you have saved, to make your visits more convenient.
• Advertising and marketing cookies help us show you relevant ads and measure how well our advertising performs.

5. Cookies From Other Companies

Not every cookie on our website comes from us. Some are placed by external providers whose services we use, such as analytics tools and payment processors.

These providers may track your activity across different websites and use the information they collect for their own purposes. Their own privacy policies explain how they do this.

6. Managing Your Cookie Choices

On your first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies.

You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time, either through the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of every page or through your browser settings.

Most browsers also let you delete cookies that are already stored and block new ones. Please note that blocking or deleting some cookies may stop parts of the website from working properly.

7. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you are entitled to:

• ask us for information about the cookies we use;
• withdraw your consent at any time;
• ask us to erase personal data collected through cookies, where this applies.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@spawnzone.org.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page, together with its new effective date.
