Cookie policy

Last updated: October 16, 2026

The short version

FendLand uses a small number of cookies. Most are needed to run the site and keep it secure. On our public pages we also use one ad-measurement tool, the Meta Pixel, in a restricted mode so we can tell whether our ads work. It never runs on your account or on sign-in, it never receives anything you type into our forms, and you can turn it off below. If you are signed in, it also receives a scrambled (hashed) form of your account email so Meta can match the visit to your Meta account. We never sell your data. Our static files (images and fonts) are served from cookie-free paths.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for core functionality and cannot be turned off without breaking the site:

  • Sign-in session: set by our authentication provider (Supabase) to keep you logged in to your account. Only present if you create an account and sign in.
  • Free-scan counter (fl_scans): counts how many free web scans you have run so we can enforce the free limit and prevent abuse. It holds a number, not your identity, your name, or the content of any message.
  • Ad measurement opt-out (fl_ads_optout): only set if you turn ad measurement off below, so we remember your choice.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are visited and roughly where visitors arrive from. It is privacy-first: it does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information.

On the same public pages as the Meta Pixel below, we also send a few events to Mixpanel, the analytics service our app uses: that a phone number lookup page was viewed (with its area code, not the number), that an app store button or Copy number was tapped, and the quiz steps described below. They carry a random ID that lasts only while the tab is open and is not stored in a cookie. When you tap through to install the app, that ID goes with the link, so the app can tell which page you came from. They follow the same opt-outs as the pixel.

Ad measurement (Meta Pixel)

When we advertise on Facebook and Instagram, we need to know whether those ads bring people here. For that we use the Meta Pixel, which sets a cookie named _fbp, and _fbc if you arrived from one of our ads. When you create an account we also set fl_new_signup for up to a day, a plain flag with nothing about you in it, so the signup can be counted once. If you arrive from one of our ads or another tagged link, we set fl_attr for 30 days: the campaign names in that link, Meta's click ID, the page you landed on and when. If you then create an account we keep that with it, so we can tell which campaigns lead to sign-ups and subscriptions. It holds nothing you typed, and it follows the same opt-outs as the pixel. We run it with strict limits:

  • Public pages only: marketing pages such as the homepage, pricing, guides and broker opt-out pages, the two free scanners, the phone number lookup pages, and the page that confirms your email. On a number lookup page the page address includes the number being looked up, a publicly reported caller. It never loads on sign-in, your account, support, or any page with a private link.
  • What it sends: that a page was viewed, that a free scan ran, that you reached each screen of our short quiz on /quiz (with the options you had tapped so far: how often you get these texts, how long it has been going on, whether you get other spam, what you own, whether you live there, what you have tried and what bothers you most about it) and the result it showed you, that an app store button was tapped, or that an account was created, with the page address and standard browser details. On /quiz, the app store button also passes a short code of those quiz answers and the result to Apple or Google, so we can count installs by result. If you are signed in, it also sends your account email and an internal account ID, both hashed (turned into a one-way code) in your browser before they leave it, so Meta can match the activity to your Meta account. Never your name, phone number, address, anything you type into our forms, the messages you scan, or your exposure results.
  • Limited Data Use: in US states with privacy laws, Meta processes this data only as our service provider, to measure our ads, and not to build profiles for its own purposes.
  • Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends it, the pixel never loads.

What we do not use

No data-broker cookies, no cookie syncing, and no advertising tags beyond the one described above. We never sell your data. Fighting the companies that profit from it is the reason FendLand exists, so we hold ourselves to that standard.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies may sign you out or reset your free-scan count.

Do not sell or share / turn off ad measurement. Use the switch below to stop the Meta Pixel on this browser, starting from your next page. Sending Global Privacy Control does the same automatically.
