Draft for legal review
1. In short
We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage items. We do not use advertising cookies, social-media pixels or third-party analytics, and no third-party script runs on our pages. Fonts are served from our own site.
2. Cookies
| Name | What it does | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| lf_draft_session | Identifies the anonymous session that owns the drafts and campaigns you create before you sign in. HttpOnly, SameSite Lax, Secure in production. The value is random; we store only a hash of it | 30 days | Essential: needed to provide what you asked for |
| lp_src | Records, once, how you arrived: the channel (search engine, other website), which search engine, and the first page you landed on. Used only to count which channels bring submissions. HttpOnly, SameSite Lax. Set only when you arrive from a search engine or another website, never on a direct visit | 30 days | Measurement: not essential |
| lp_ops | Operator sign-in for the staff area. Visitors never receive it | 8 hours | Essential for operators only |
When you sign in, a session cookie keeps you signed in. It is essential, HttpOnly, and lasts only as long as your session.
3. Browser storage (not sent to us)
These items stay in your browser, are never sent to our servers, and exist because you used the feature they belong to. You can clear them in your browser at any time.
| Key | What it remembers |
|---|---|
| lf-theme | Your light or dark choice |
| lf-dashboard-sidebar | Whether you collapsed the dashboard sidebar |
| lf-submit-draft-v1 | A submission form in progress, so a reload does not lose it |
| launchfaro.tools.utm.presets.v1 | Link-builder presets you saved |
| launchfaro.tools.checklist.v1 | Which checklist items you ticked |
4. Third-party requests
Product pages show store artwork loaded directly from the store's own image host. When your browser fetches an image, that host receives your IP address and browser details, as with any web request. We tell your browser not to send a referrer. No other third party is contacted by public pages.
5. Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site works without lp_src. Blocking lf_draft_session means drafts and campaigns cannot be kept before you sign in. Because lp_src is not essential, we are required in some regions to ask before setting it. [Whether a consent control is shown, or the cookie is removed, is decided before launch.]
6. Changes
If we add a cookie or storage item we update this page first and keep earlier versions on the legal pages. More about personal data is in the Privacy Policy.
