Vercel Web Analytics — no cookies: anonymous audience measurement (page views, country, device type, referring site), with no data that can identify you. Member area and admin pages are not measured.
Advertising measurement cookies Consent required
OpenAI's measurement pixel is only loaded after you agree to "Advertising measurement", separately from audience measurement. Its sole purpose is to know whether a TOPSPAWN ad served by OpenAI led to a sign-up, a server being added or a Boost purchase. TOPSPAWN only sends these three events: an account being created (without any account data), a new server being registered (with a technical identifier of that server) and a Boost purchase (plan, amount and technical payment identifier). They are flagged to be excluded from ad personalization. When it loads, the pixel also sends technical messages on its own (start-up, diagnostics) including the address of the page viewed and a random identifier specific to your browser. If you refuse or withdraw your consent, the pixel stops sending anything and its cookies are deleted.
| Service | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI__oppref | Attribution of a conversion (sign-up, server added, Boost purchase) to a TOPSPAWN ad served by OpenAI | 30 days |
| OpenAI__obref | Attribution of a conversion (sign-up, server added, Boost purchase) to a TOPSPAWN ad served by OpenAI | 365 days |
| Google Ads_gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Link a conversion (sign-up, server added, Boost purchase) to a click on a TOPSPAWN Google Ads ad | 90 days |
TOPSPAWN itself never sends any account data or form content. According to OpenAI's documentation, however, the pixel may automatically detect customer information present on the page (for example an email address typed into a form): it normalizes and hashes it (SHA-256) in your browser before attaching it to the event, without sending it in clear text.
Google Ads: measurement goes through Google Analytics, so it only happens if you accepted both audience measurement and advertising measurement. Google Analytics is then allowed to tell Google Ads that a sign-up, a server being added or a Boost purchase followed a click on a TOPSPAWN ad. Ad personalization (targeting, retargeting) always stays refused.
Other third-party cookies
Apart from the advertising measurement tools described above (OpenAI and Google Ads), which require your consent, no advertising or third-party tracking cookies are placed on TOPSPAWN. TOPSPAWN does not display ads and does not sell your data.
