Links
A share link or a receipt link carries the wheel after the # sign. Browsers do not send that part of a link to any server, ours included, so the names travel only to whoever you give the link to.
Analytics
Google Analytics runs only if you tap Accept. It shows how many people use the site and which pages they open. It sets cookies, _ga and _ga_8PQ3VT28G7, that tell one visitor from another and last up to two years.
If you accept, Google receives the pages you view, your device and browser, the site you came from and your rough location, and may handle this outside the UK. Your names, lists, spin history and the part of a link after the # sign are not sent. How Google uses this data.
If you decline, the Google script does not load and no analytics cookies are set. You can change your answer whenever you like.
The rest
The fonts and pictures are served from this site. The page works offline after your first visit because your browser keeps a copy of it. If ads are added later, this page will say which and how they behave before they go live.
