This Cookie Policy explains how Spaces.fm ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and app.
1. What we use
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and browser-storage entries. These are required to sign you in, keep your session, remember your language preference, and keep the app working as you navigate.
- Authentication / session: set by our auth provider so you stay signed in.
- Preferences: your chosen language and, on desktop, the collapsed/expanded state of the sidebar.
- Security: short-lived tokens that protect against CSRF and abuse.
1.1 Similar technologies (local storage)
We also use your browser's local storage (a mechanism similar to cookies, stored on your device) to remember your in-app preferences between visits. This includes: your chosen theme (light/dark), volume, loop/repeat setting, your practice settings (e.g. breathing pattern), small UI state (e.g. whether curated collections are expanded), and, while you are signed out, draft favorites, mixes and frequency stacks you create.
These entries are first-party and are treated as strictly necessary for the interface you asked for. Note: when you sign in, your favorites and the spaces and frequencies you save are stored in your account so they sync across your devices. That server-side data is described in the Privacy Policy, not here. You can clear local storage at any time via your browser's site-data settings.
2. What we do NOT use
- No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- No third-party social or marketing pixels.
- No data sold or shared with data brokers.
3. Analytics (only with your consent)
If you click "Accept" in the cookie banner, we use PostHog (PostHog Inc., data stored on EU servers in Frankfurt) to understand how Spaces.fm is used: pages viewed, buttons clicked, steps in sign-up and checkout, page speed, heatmaps and session replays. Everything you type is masked in replays, and we never send your email or name: signed-in users are linked by an internal account id only.
PostHog stores a first-party cookie and local-storage entry (names starting with ph_) for up to 1 year to recognise your browser between visits. If you click "Decline" or do nothing, PostHog is not loaded at all and nothing is stored.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies, without local storage and without identifying you. It needs no consent.
4. Your choice and how to change it
On your first visit we ask for your choice, with "Accept" and "Decline" equally prominent. Your choice is saved on your device (sfm_consent_v1). You can change it at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer; withdrawing consent stops PostHog and removes its storage.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the strictly-necessary cookies above will sign you out and prevent the app from working correctly.
6. Changes
We will update this page if our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
