What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.
LaunchPal uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience, maintain authentication sessions, and analyze platform performance.
Types of cookies we use

- OAuth state cookies: used during email integration with Gmail/Outlook for secure authentication flow.

These help us understand how users interact with our platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve our services and user experience.

Note: Vercel Analytics does not use cookies or collect personal data. It provides anonymized insights only.

Third-party cookies & services
Some cookies and tracking technologies on our platform are set by third-party services:
Supabase sets authentication cookies to maintain your secure login session. These are essential for the platform to function.
Vercel Analytics provides privacy-friendly analytics without using cookies or collecting personal data. It helps us monitor platform performance, uptime, and user experience in an anonymized manner.
When you connect your Gmail or Outlook account for email sending, Google/Microsoft may set cookies during the OAuth authentication flow. These are temporary and used only for secure authentication.
Your cookie choices
You have control over cookie usage. However, please note that essential cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.
Managing cookie preferences
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
- Essential cookies: cannot be disabled as they are necessary for authentication and platform functionality.
- Functional cookies: can be cleared from your browser settings, but will be recreated when you update preferences.
- Analytics: Vercel Analytics does not use cookies. It provides anonymized insights only.
Browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:
Heads up: blocking or deleting essential cookies (especially authentication cookies) will log you out and prevent you from using LaunchPal.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want your online activity tracked.
Since LaunchPal does not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, DNT signals do not affect your experience. We only use essential cookies for authentication and functional cookies for user experience.
