What data does Spotrove store about visitors?

For visitors who do not sign in: saved products, hidden listings, and chosen interests are stored only in your own browser and never sent to Spotrove. One anonymous HttpOnly cookie holds a random identifier used to de-duplicate impression, click, save, and report counters. It carries no name, email, or profile.

How long does Spotrove keep activity data?

Activity events are deleted automatically 90 days after they are recorded. Reports about a listing may be kept longer for moderation.

How do I delete my Spotrove account and data?

Sign in, open the advertiser studio, choose Account, and confirm deletion. This removes your sign-in account, your listings, their activity counters, and any placement records. The action cannot be undone.

Does Spotrove use advertising trackers or sell data?

Spotrove uses Google Ads measurement and, if you accept optional analytics, Microsoft Clarity for session recordings and heatmaps and the Meta Pixel for advertising measurement. We do not sell visitor data to data brokers. Listing images and videos hosted by an advertiser are loaded from their servers, which therefore receive your network request.

What stays in your browser

Saved products, hidden listings, and selected interests are written to your browser’s local storage and are never sent to Spotrove. They do not follow you to another device. Clear them at any time from Your interests in the feed, or by clearing site data in your browser.

Cookies Spotrove sets

spotrove_visitor — a random identifier, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, 90 days. Used to measure page and blog visits, and count an impression, click, save, or report once per listing per day. It holds no personal detail and is stored hashed.
spotrove_cognito_session — set only after you sign in, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax. Keeps you signed in until your Cognito token expires. Removed when you sign out.
spotrove_challenge — a short-lived cookie (three minutes) used only while completing a multi-factor or new-password sign-in step.

We use Google Ads for advertising measurement. Optional Microsoft Clarity analytics and the Meta Pixel load only after you accept using the analytics choice on this site. Your choice is saved in local storage.

Optional Meta Pixel

If you accept analytics, the Meta Pixel tells Meta (Facebook) which pages you view and when you complete a sign-up, so we can measure our Facebook and Instagram ads. Meta may set its own cookies, such as _fbp, and may link this activity to your Meta account. Declining keeps the Pixel from loading; withdrawing consent reloads the page to stop it. See Meta’s privacy policy for its data handling practices.

Optional Microsoft Clarity analytics

If you accept analytics, Microsoft Clarity collects interaction data for session recordings and heatmaps to help us improve the site. Clarity may set analytics cookies. We send analytics consent to Microsoft and deny advertising storage consent for Clarity. You can change your choice using Analytics preferences at the bottom of the page. Declining keeps Clarity from loading; withdrawing consent reloads the page to stop recording. See Microsoft’s privacy statement for its data handling practices. Our 90-day activity retention described below applies to Spotrove’s own counters.

Activity measurement

We count page and blog views using the same first-party visitor cookie. Platform administrators see aggregate page views and unique-browser counts. Page activity is deleted automatically after 90 days. We do not store full URL query strings or IP addresses in page activity records. We collect the five UTM campaign tags (source, medium, campaign, term, and content), referring domain (without its path or query), entry page, and broad device, browser, and operating-system categories. Campaign tags should not contain personal information. Entry attribution is kept in session storage for the current browser tab and refreshed after 30 minutes without a page view or on a new campaign link.

An impression is recorded when at least 60% of a listing card is visible for one second. Impressions, clicks, and saves are recorded once per visitor, per listing, per day, and deleted automatically after 90 days. Advertisers see totals for their own listings only, never individual visitor records. These counts are discovery signals, not proof of a sale.

Advertiser accounts

Amazon Cognito handles your password, email verification, and account recovery; Spotrove never stores your password. Spotrove stores your name, email address, role, sign-in timestamps, your submitted listings, and any placement requests. Administrators can see account details in order to arrange a requested payment. Moderators review listings and reports and cannot see the payment ledger.

Deleting your account

Sign in, open the advertiser studio, choose Account, and confirm deletion. Spotrove deletes your Cognito user, your profile, every listing you published, their activity counters and reports, and any placement records. The action is immediate and cannot be undone. If you cannot sign in, write to contact@higglerslab.com from the address on the account.

Newsletter and alerts

If you subscribe to the newsletter, new-listing alerts, or a price watch, we store your email address, what you asked for, and when you confirmed. Nothing is sent until you confirm from your inbox. Every email links to a page where you can change or stop what you receive, and one click unsubscribes you from everything. Emails are delivered through Amazon SES. We never sell or share subscriber addresses.

External products and media

Opening a listing’s product link takes you to the advertiser’s own website, which has its own policies. Listing images and videos may be hosted by the advertiser, so their servers receive your network request when the media loads.

Your rights and how to exercise them

You can ask for a copy of the data held about your account, ask for a correction, or ask for deletion. Write to contact@higglerslab.com from the address on the account. Spotrove is operated by Spotrove.
