Cookie policy
Effective date: 8 October 2026
At Launch4 (“Launch4”, “we”, “us”), we use cookies and similar technologies on our website https://www.launch4.io (the “Website”) to ensure the site works properly, remember your choices, analyse performance, and — only where you consent — support analytics. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your options to manage them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) to save information. We may also use similar technologies (e.g., pixels, tags, SDKs, and browser storage such as localStorage/sessionStorage) for comparable purposes.
Cookies can be:
- First-party cookies: set by launch4.io.
- Third-party cookies: set by services we use (e.g., analytics or security providers).
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain for a set period or until you delete them.
2. How do we use cookies?
On our Website we use the following types of cookies:

3. Data transfer
Some third-party cookies may involve transferring data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this happens, we ensure transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection law, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other valid safeguards.
