Cookie Policy
The few cookies and browser storage spawnpop uses, and what each one is for.
spawnpop uses cookies and local storage that the product needs. It has no advertising cookies. It does use three analytics tools, listed below, to see how the site is used and where it breaks.
What we set
| Name | Kind | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie (Better Auth) | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in, or keeps a guest session so your projects and credits stay attached to this browser |
spawnpop_anon_id | Functional | An anonymous visitor identifier that links a guest's work, credits and basic product events |
| Language cookie | Functional | Remembers the language of the page |
sidebar_state | Functional | Remembers whether the account sidebar is open |
| Local storage | Functional | Keeps a purchase in progress, so credits are applied to your project when you return from Stripe |
Analytics
| Tool | Kind | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) | Analytics | Counts visits and page views. Google receives the page address and a browser identifier |
Microsoft Clarity (_clck, _clsk) | Analytics | Session recordings and heatmaps. Microsoft receives how you move and click on the page. Text typed into the prompt and feedback boxes is masked in the browser before it is sent |
| Plausible (no cookie) | Analytics | Cookie-free visit counts, run on our own server |
Recording is switched off in code on the sign-in, account, settings, admin, checkout return, restore and contact pages, so your email address and payment return are never recorded. These tools do not load in automated test browsers.
Set by providers on their own pages
- Cloudflare Turnstile runs a bot check before checkout and on some actions. It may set its own cookie to do that.
- Stripe sets cookies on its checkout page for fraud prevention and to complete the payment.
- Google sets cookies only if you choose to sign in with Google.
Managing them
Blocking the strictly necessary cookies means you cannot keep a project or credits between pages. Your browser settings let you clear or block any cookie; clearing them detaches a guest from earlier work, and the restore page brings paid credits back with your payment email.
