Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2026
This page lists the cookies and similar technologies spanli.com uses. It is short, because we use very few. We set no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no tracking pixels, and we do not share anything with advertisers.
1. Cookies we set
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser and sends back to the server on each request. We use exactly one.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| spanli_session | Spanli | Keeps you signed in. It holds a random session identifier, not your details. Without it you cannot stay signed in to your dashboard. | 24 hours, or 30 days if you tick “Remember me” when signing in |
The session cookie is marked HttpOnly, so page scripts cannot read it, Secure, so it is only ever sent over HTTPS, and SameSite=Lax, so other websites cannot cause your browser to send it.
This cookie is strictly necessary: it exists only to deliver the service you asked for by signing in. Under the ePrivacy rules that means it does not require consent, which is why you do not see a cookie banner on this site. If we ever add a cookie that is not strictly necessary, we will ask you first.
2. Things we store in your browser
The app also remembers some interface preferences using your browser’s local storage. These are not cookies: they stay in your browser and are never sent to us. They hold your settings, not your identity.
| Key | What it remembers |
|---|---|
| spanli-theme | Whether you chose the light or dark theme. |
| spanli-sidebar-collapsed | Whether you collapsed the dashboard sidebar. |
| spanli:chat-split | How wide you dragged the divider between chat and preview. |
| spanli:composer-expanded | Whether you expanded the message box. |
| spanli:preview-device | Whether you were previewing at phone, tablet or desktop width. |
| spanli:preview-zoom | The zoom level of the preview. |
| spanli:last-project | Which project you were last working on, so we can reopen it. |
| spanli:resume-after-topup | The message you were sending when you ran out of credits, so it can be resumed after you buy more. |
| spanli:wizard-draft:<project> | Your answers in the setup questionnaire, so that leaving the page and coming back does not lose them. Cleared when you finish setup. |
These persist until you clear your browser storage. Clearing them loses the preference and nothing else.
3. Third parties
A few features load resources from other companies while you use them. None of them set cookies on spanli.com, but the request itself reveals your IP address to that company.
- Stripehandles payments on its own hosted checkout page. When you are sent there to pay, you are on Stripe’s website and Stripe’s own cookie and privacy policies apply. We do not embed Stripe on our pages.
- Pexels serves the preview thumbnails in the stock photo picker directly to your browser, so Pexels sees your IP address while the picker is open.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces used to preview each design option during setup, so Google sees your IP address at that moment.
4. Cookies on the websites you publish
Websites you build with Spanli are yours, and what they store in a visitor’s browser is your responsibility. By default a published Spanli site sets no cookies at all.
One exception is worth knowing about: if you turn on spam protection for a form on your site, that form loads Cloudflare Turnstile to check that the sender is a person. Turnstile may store a short-lived value in the visitor’s browser to complete that check. If you enable it, mention it in your own site’s privacy notice.
If you add your own analytics, embeds or third-party scripts to your site, you are responsible for disclosing them and for collecting consent where the law requires it.
5. Managing cookies
Signing out clears the session cookie. Every browser also lets you view, block and delete cookies and local storage from its settings. Blocking the session cookie means you will not be able to stay signed in, so the dashboard will not work, but the public pages will.
