Last updated: 4 October 2026

This Cookie Notice explains how Launchpad Advisory uses cookies and similar technologies on launchpadgcc.com. Launchpad Advisory is the trading name of Launchpad GCC Consulting W.L.L. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites operate securely and efficiently, remember choices and, where you allow them, provide information about how the website is used.

This notice also covers similar technologies that perform a comparable function, including local storage, pixels, tags and web beacons. We refer to all of them as "cookies" in this notice. Cookies set through our website are generally first-party cookies. Services we use may also set or read cookies in order to provide their functionality.

2. The categories of cookies we use

We group the cookies and similar technologies used on our website into four categories. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies are restricted until you choose to accept them through our cookie banner.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required to secure and operate the website or to remember your privacy choices. We do not ask for consent to use cookies that are strictly necessary for these purposes. You can block them through your browser, but parts of the website may then stop working properly.

Performance and analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the website through Squarespace Analytics, including visits, sessions and traffic sources. We use this information to understand site performance and improve the website. Where consent is required, these cookies remain restricted until you accept performance and analytics cookies.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices that provide additional or personalised website features. We do not currently use any non-essential functional cookies on this site.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Marketing cookies can be used by advertising or social media services to measure campaigns or build audiences. We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this notice and obtain consent before setting them where consent is required.

3. The cookies we use on this website

Our website is built and hosted on Squarespace. Depending on the features used and your browser, Squarespace may set the cookies below. Some cookies appear only when a particular feature is used. All cookies listed below are set by Squarespace. Squarespace may change its platform cookies from time to time, so we review this list periodically.

3. The cookies we use on this website

Squarespace is our website platform, hosting and analytics provider. Cookies set through launchpadgcc.com may be first-party cookies, but information associated with them may be processed by Squarespace on our behalf in order to provide the website and analytics services.

Information collected through our website may be processed in countries outside Bahrain, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we handle those transfers as described in the International transfers section of our Privacy Policy.

We do not currently use third-party advertising or social-media tracking cookies. If we add a third-party service that places non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will update this notice and our consent settings before enabling it where required.

5. Your choices about cookies

When you first visit our website, the cookie banner presents the choices available to you for non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies remain active because they are required for the website to operate securely. Where you decline or do not accept optional cookies, performance and analytics cookies remain restricted.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie preferences control provided on the website. Your choice applies to the browser and device you are using. Withdrawing consent prevents new optional cookies from being set, but cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or you delete them through your browser settings.

6. Controlling cookies through your browser

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies that have already been set. The exact controls vary by browser and version, but they are usually found under privacy or cookie settings. For general guidance, you can visit allaboutcookies.org. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working properly.

7. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice to reflect changes to our website, the cookies we use or applicable legal requirements. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. Any revised notice takes effect when it is published on the website.
