This Cookie Policy explains how LaunchGenesis.org (“LaunchGenesis,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your choices for controlling them.

If you have questions, contact elle@launchgenesis.org or write to PO Box 175577, Missoula, Montana 59808.

1) What are cookies and similar technologies

  • Cookies are small text files placed on your device when a website loads in your browser.

  • Web beacons and pixels are small files used to track activity, for example page views and clicks.

  • Local storage and session storage are browser storage technologies that can hold settings and identifiers.

We use these technologies to make the site work, to remember your preferences, to understand how the site is used, and to support our communications.

2) Who is the controller

LaunchGenesis.org is the controller of personal data collected through cookies on this site. See our Privacy Policy for more information about how we process personal data.

3) Types of cookies we use

Only strictly necessary cookies are used without your consent. All other categories require your consent where applicable law requires it.

  1. Strictly Necessary (always active)
    Enable core features, for example page navigation, secure checkout, form submission, and fraud prevention. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
    Legal basis: our legitimate interests in providing the site and services, or necessary to perform a contract.

  2. Functional
    Remember choices you make, for example language or region.
    Legal basis: your consent where required.

  3. Analytics
    Help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where we can improve. Data is aggregated when possible.
    Legal basis: your consent where required.

  4. Marketing
    Used to deliver or measure advertising and outreach, and to build audiences.
    Legal basis: your consent where required.

4) Your choices

You can manage consent at any time.

  • Cookie banner and preferences: use the Manage Cookie Preferences link in our footer to set or change your choices.

  • Browser controls: you can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. This may affect site functionality.

  • Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track: if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing under California law. Do Not Track is not standardized, so we do not respond to it at this time.

5) Region specific information

  • EEA, UK, and Switzerland: non-essential cookies load only after you provide consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through the preferences link.

  • California (CPRA): we do not sell personal information for money. If we use cookies that could be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, you can opt out through Manage Cookie Preferences.

  • Nevada: Nevada residents may opt out of the sale of personal information by emailing elle@launchgenesis.org with “Nevada Do Not Sell” in the subject line. We do not sell personal information, but we honor these requests.

6) How long cookies last

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. Retention varies by cookie and purpose. See the examples below.

7) Third party cookies

We may use service providers that set cookies to deliver services on our behalf. Examples include payment processing, site hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security. These providers may change from time to time. Your cookie preferences apply to third party cookies on our site where applicable.
