Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as storing your cookie consent preference so we don't repeatedly show the cookie banner.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save your "Who Pays the Bill?" spinner names. This allows your name list to persist even after you close your browser, so you don't have to re-enter names every time you visit.
