How this site remembers you
This page explains what cookies are, which ones wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk sets when you visit, and how you can control them. Katanaspin is reviewed on this portal – we are an independent information site, not the operator itself. The cookies described here are those set by our own domain when you browse our content.
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. It allows the site to recognise you on return visits and remember certain preferences. Cookies cannot run programs, deliver viruses, or access other files on your device. They exist purely to help websites function and to collect anonymous usage data.
The cookies we set
wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk uses cookies for three purposes: keeping the site functional, understanding how visitors use our pages, and tailoring content where appropriate. Below is a breakdown of the categories we rely on.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, basic site operation | Session or up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Anonymous visitor statistics, page performance | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Language choice, layout settings | Up to 1 year |
Necessary cookies keep the site running – they manage your session, prevent duplicate form submissions, and help us detect unusual traffic patterns. You cannot disable these without breaking core functionality, and they are set automatically when you visit.
Analytics cookies tell us which pages are read most often, where visitors arrive from, and how long they stay. We use this data to improve navigation and identify content gaps. These cookies collect information in aggregate form only – no individual is tracked or identified. We ask for your consent before setting them, via the banner you see on your first visit.
Preference cookies remember choices you have made – your preferred language, whether you have dismissed certain notices, or layout options where offered. They are optional and exist purely for convenience.
Third-party scripts and the data they collect
Some features on this site rely on external services – analytics platforms, embedded content, or advertising partners. Those services may set their own cookies when you load a page. We do not control what they collect or how they use it, though we choose partners carefully and review their own privacy policies before embedding their scripts.
The third-party cookies most commonly present include those from analytics providers and content-delivery networks. If you object to tracking by these organisations, the browser controls described below will block them – or you can visit the third party's own site to opt out directly. We do not receive personal data from these scripts; the information flows to the service provider, not to us.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every modern browser lets you control which cookies are stored and delete the ones already present. The steps vary slightly between browsers, but the principle is the same: open Settings or Preferences, locate the Privacy or Security section, and look for the Cookies or Site Data controls.
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. You can block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear existing ones. To remove cookies from a specific site, go to Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites, then search for wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers Standard, Strict, and Custom levels of tracking protection. Under Custom you can block all third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones. Click Manage Data to see which sites have stored cookies and delete individual entries.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Block all cookies" to stop new ones being set, or click Manage Website Data to review and remove existing cookies site by site. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default under Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can block third-party cookies, clear cookies when you close the browser, or see all stored cookies and delete them individually.
If you block all cookies, some parts of this site may not work as expected – forms may not submit, and preferences will not be remembered between visits. Blocking third-party cookies alone usually causes no functional problems for most users.
Your choices and what happens when you decline
When you first visit wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk, a consent banner appears at the bottom or top of the page. You can accept analytics and preference cookies, or decline them and allow only the necessary ones. Your choice is stored in a cookie itself – ironically – so that we do not ask again on your next visit.
Declining analytics cookies means we will not know which pages you read or how you found the site. That makes it harder for us to improve the content, but it does not stop you reading anything. Declining preference cookies means the site will not remember your language choice or other settings between sessions. Necessary cookies are set regardless of your choice, because without them the site cannot function.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, which will bring the banner back. Alternatively, most consent platforms offer a "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer, where you can adjust your preferences without clearing everything.
Changes to this policy
We review this cookie policy periodically and update it when our use of cookies changes – for example, if we add a new third-party service or retire an old one. When a material change is made, we will update the date at the bottom of this page and, where appropriate, highlight the change via a notice on the site. Continuing to use wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Minor clarifications – fixing a typo, rewording a sentence for clarity – do not trigger a new notification. Substantive changes – adding a new cookie category, embedding a new third-party script – do.
Questions about cookies on this site
If you have a question about the cookies wokinghamhalfmarathon.co.uk sets, or you would like to know which third-party services are active on a particular page, write to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours during normal working days.
For questions about your account, deposits, withdrawals, or bonuses with Katanaspin itself, contact the operator's own support team via the channels listed on its platform. We are an independent review portal and have no access to player accounts or the operator's systems.
