LaunchPilot Stop Launching Into The Void

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They're used to remember information about you — like whether you're logged in — across page loads and sessions.

LaunchPilot uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage) to keep the product working, remember your preferences, and understand how people use the app.

Short version: We use essential cookies to run the app, functional cookies to remember your preferences, and analytics to understand usage. No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking.

Types of cookies we use

We group cookies into four categories based on their purpose. The first category is strictly necessary — you cannot opt out of these. The rest are optional.

Strictly necessaryRequired for the app to function. Without these, you cannot log in, generate plans, or save progress.

FunctionalRemember your preferences — like your last-used plan view, notification settings, and onboarding state.

AnalyticsHelp us understand which features are used, where users drop off, and how to improve the product. No personally identifiable data.

AdvertisingWe do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels of any kind.

We do not set any advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing tags of any kind.

Third-party cookies

The only third-party cookies we allow are from PostHog (analytics) and Polar (payment processing). Both are limited in scope:

PostHog — analytics only, no cross-site tracking, EU data residency, governed by PostHog's privacy policy
Polar / Stripe — payment fraud prevention only, set on checkout pages only, governed by Stripe's privacy policy

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising network cookies.

Managing and disabling cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to manage cookies in common browsers:

Chromechrome://settings/cookies

Firefoxabout:preferences#privacy

SafariPreferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Edgeedge://settings/privacy

For analytics opt-out specifically, you can also opt out from within LaunchPilot at Settings → Privacy → Analytics.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using most features of LaunchPilot. We recommend leaving these enabled.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. LaunchPilot does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret them. Our analytics do not track you across sites regardless of DNT status.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the product evolves or if the law changes. Material changes will be announced by email and flagged in the app. We'll always show the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
