This page explains how cookies work on alancoleandsonbuilders.co.uk, an independent information portal about Katanaspin. We set out what cookies are, which ones this site uses, and how you can control them through your browser settings.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It helps the site recognise your browser on return visits, remember your preferences, and understand how you navigate the pages. Cookies don't identify you personally – they track sessions and settings, not names or contact details.
Most websites rely on cookies to function properly. Without them, features like language selection, consent choices, and analytics would break. You're always free to disable cookies, but doing so may limit what you can do here.
The analytics question
This portal uses analytics cookies to understand which pages get read, where visitors arrive from, and how long they stay. The data is aggregated and anonymous – we see traffic patterns, not individual journeys.
These cookies require your consent. If you decline analytics tracking through the banner that appears on your first visit, we won't set them. Your choice is stored in a necessary cookie so we don't ask again on every page load.
Necessary cookies
A small number of cookies are essential for the site to work. These remember whether you've accepted or declined analytics, keep your session active while you browse, and ensure forms submit correctly. Necessary cookies don't require consent under UK law because the site cannot function without them.
Performance and analytics cookies
With your permission, we use tools like Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve the content. These cookies track page views, session duration, and referral sources. The information helps us understand what readers find useful and where the site falls short.
Scripts we do not control
Some pages embed content from third parties – video players, social-media widgets, or advertising networks. When you load a page carrying one of these embeds, that third party may set its own cookies. We don't control what they collect or how they use it.
If you interact with an embedded element – play a video, click a social-share button – that third party will know. Their own privacy and cookie policies apply, not ours. Check their documentation if you want to know what data they gather.
Your options
You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser. The process differs slightly depending on which one you use, but every modern browser gives you control over what gets stored.
Managing cookies in your browser
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. Choose "Block third-party cookies" or "Block all cookies" to stop them entirely.
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Select "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" or use the Custom setting to block trackers.
Safari: Preferences → Privacy. Tick "Block all cookies" or choose "Prevent cross-site tracking" to limit third parties without breaking functionality.
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. Block third-party cookies or clear stored data on exit.
Bear in mind that blocking all cookies will stop this site remembering your consent choice, so the banner will reappear each time you visit. Some elements may not load, and navigation may feel slower because nothing is cached locally.
Revisions
We may update this policy when the site's technology changes or when UK data-protection guidance shifts. Any significant change will be flagged through a notice on the homepage. The date at the bottom of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
If the update affects how we handle your data in a material way, we'll ask for fresh consent through the banner. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Contact
Questions about cookies or how this portal handles your data should go to [email protected]. We'll respond within 48 hours on working days. For questions about your Katanaspin player account, contact the operator's own support team directly – we have no access to account data.
