Turning off the “open at login” feature can have a lot of benefits for your MacBook Pro. Your Mac will run faster on startup since it won’t be frantically opening multiple apps at once. It will also give you a clean working space to start your day and prevent a sudden barrage of new windows, especially since you may not need all of them. While apps like Spotify jump up front and center when they launch, alerting the user, other apps are happy to chug away in the menubar with nary a user interaction for months. If you find that your Mac doesn’t start as quickly as it used to, or your mouse is non-responsive when first turning on and logging in to your computer, you should.

Once it's chosen,the adjustment is saved automatically. Now Spotify should no longer automatically activate when you open the computer.

It's worth mentioning that there is a way to prevent Spotify from opening when you launch the Spotify web player. You can close the 'Allow Spotify to be started from the Web' function with the help of a service named 'Spotify Web Helper'.
