Cookies and data in your browser
ExpertReels uses cookies that are strictly necessary for signing in and for protection against forged requests, plus one that remembers your language. There are no analytics, advertising or third-party trackers, so we don’t ask for consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__Host-sp_auth (in local development: sp_auth) | Your sign-in session. HttpOnly (not readable by JavaScript), Secure (HTTPS only), SameSite=Lax. | Until you close the browser, or up to 12 hours of inactivity. With “Remember me” — 14 days, extended while you use the site. |
__Host-sp_csrf (in local development: sp_csrf) | Protection against forged requests (CSRF): the paired part of the token. HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict. | Until you close the browser. |
XSRF-TOKEN | The same protection: the page copies this value into a request header. It isn’t sign-in data. SameSite=Strict. | Until you close the browser; renewed after logging in and out. |
sp_locale | Remembers the interface language you chose. Contains only the language code. | 1 year, or until you clear it. |
sp_dev_admin | Local development only: the session of the test administrator. It doesn’t exist on the live site. | Up to 8 hours, or until you log out. |
Local browser storage
The interface keeps in localStorage your chosen language, the workflow you picked before signing up, the server address (in the mobile app), a draft of your new video’s text and the last video you opened. The draft and the last video are deleted when you log out. No passwords, tokens or sign-in data are stored there.
How to delete them
“Log out” ends your session and removes the sign-in cookie. You can delete all of the site’s cookies and local data in your browser settings; you’ll need to log in again afterwards.
