Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Nolatech Ltd (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://spandock.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
The self-hosted SpanDock software on your machines does not set website cookies on spandock.com for your telemetry. This policy covers the website and account dashboard only.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. We group them as:
| Category | Consent |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Always on — required for sign-in, security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choices |
| Analytics / performance | Only with consent where required (e.g. EU/UK) — PostHog, Vercel Analytics, and/or Vercel Speed Insights |
| Marketing | We do not use marketing cookies |
2. Cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary
| Name / pattern | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session / authentication cookies (app-set) | Keep you signed in to spandock.com | Session or short-lived persistent | Nolatech (hosted on Vercel) |
| CSRF / security tokens | Protect forms and sessions | Session or short-lived | Nolatech (hosted on Vercel) |
| Cookie consent preference | Remember your cookie choices | Up to 12 months | Nolatech |
spandock.spander.intro.v1 (local storage) | Remember that the Spander intro was shown, so it plays once | Until cleared | Nolatech |
spandock.spander.announcement.v1 (local storage) | Remember which site announcement you have seen, so it shows once | Until cleared | Nolatech |
sd_eut | Remember which version of the home page to show you, after you followed a link to one (personalisation, like a language choice). It holds a four-digit code only, nothing about you, and isn't used for advertising | 7 days | Nolatech |
Exact cookie names may vary with framework updates; they are always first-party to spandock.com for this category.
2.2 Analytics (non-essential)
Set only if you opt in where consent is required. Until you opt in, we do not load these scripts.
| Name / pattern | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
PostHog cookies / local storage (e.g. ph_*) | Product and website analytics (page views, feature usage) | Up to 12 months (or per PostHog config) | PostHog |
| Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights identifiers | Aggregate traffic and Web Vitals / performance | Per Vercel Analytics defaults (typically short-lived / cookieless or first-party) | Vercel |
Category in banner: “Analytics / performance” — default off (opt-in) for EU/UK visitors.
2.3 Marketing
None. We do not set marketing or advertising cookies.
3. How to manage cookies
- Use the cookie banner / preference center on spandock.com to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Change your mind later via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
- Browser controls can block cookies; blocking strictly necessary cookies may break sign-in.
4. Other tracking
- Server logs: IP addresses and request metadata for security and reliability (see Privacy Policy). Hosted on Vercel.
- License checks from the desktop/server app are not browser cookies; they are described in Licensing and the Privacy Policy.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy. The “Last updated” date will change; material changes may also be announced in the banner or by email.
