Cookie policy
Best Launch Directories · Last updated · Version 1.2 (an earlier version: read the current one)
This policy lists every cookie Best Launch Directories (bestlaunchdirectories.com) can set, what each one is for and how long it lasts. Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Some are strictly necessary for the site to work or to do what you ask; the others help us understand how people find and use the site.
1. The cookies we set
| Name | Type | What it does | When it is set | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sessionid | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and remembers a checkout or form you are in the middle of. | When you sign in, check out or send a form | 30 days |
csrftoken | Strictly necessary | Security: proves a form was sent from this site and not forged by another one. | When a page with a form is shown | 364 days |
_a4582fd | Strictly necessary | Anti-abuse: a random ID that stops one device voting many times. It holds nothing about you. | When you vote or follow a listing | 400 days |
elm_spectrum | Preference | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark look. Without it the site follows your device setting. | Only when you use the light/dark switch | 365 days |
lsrc_f, lsrc_l | Analytics | Remember how you first found this site and the last website or campaign link that brought you back, so we know which channels work. Never used for advertising. | On your first visit, and when you arrive from another website or a tagged link | 90 days |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance | Strictly necessary (Cloudflare) | Set by Cloudflare, our security and delivery provider, when it checks that a visitor is not a bot. | Only if Cloudflare runs a bot check | 30 minutes / up to 1 year |
_ga, _ga_<id> | Analytics | Google Analytics 4: counts visits and which pages help people. | On your first visit | Up to 2 years |
All our cookies are first-party (they belong to bestlaunchdirectories.com), are sent only over HTTPS and are never used for advertising.
2. Statistics, analytics and where you came from
Our own statistics count pages viewed, links clicked, the referring website, device type and country. They use a code that changes every day and cannot be turned back into your IP address.
The lsrc_f and lsrc_l cookies remember how you first found this site and the last website or campaign link that brought you back: the name of the referring website (for example google.com, never the full address of that page), any campaign tags in the link (such as utm_source) and the page on our site where you arrived. When you create an account or place an order we note that on the account or order, so we know which channels work. They are kept for 90 days and are never used for advertising or shared.
This site also uses Google Analytics 4, which sets the _ga cookies listed above to count visits. Advertising features are never turned on: ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation stay off.
3. Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time, for this site or for all sites. If you block strictly necessary cookies, signing in and checkout will not work; blocking the others changes nothing about how the site works for you. Questions or objections: email us at the address below.
4. Other services
Payment pages from Stripe, PayPal or NOWPayments, the Cloudflare Turnstile human check, and embedded videos you choose to play may set their own cookies under their own policies. We do not control those cookies.
5. More information
How we use personal data is explained in the privacy policy. Questions: launch@zinndigital.com.
