1. Purpose and Scope
This Cookie Policy explains how The Launch Pad ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.thelaunchpadwash.com (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse or by selecting your preferences in our cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, maintain secure sessions, and analyze how services are used. Related technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels, SDKs, and tags) perform similar functions; we refer to all of these as "cookies."
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Authenticate and keep you signed in to your The Launch Pad account.
- Operate essential site features (e.g., checkout, subscription management, add-on selections).
- Remember your choices (e.g., saved vehicle details, plan preferences).
- Enhance security and help prevent fraud.
- Measure performance and improve the Website (analytics).
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary (Essential)
Required for the Website to function (e.g., sign-in, payment session, CSRF protection). These cannot be switched off.
Functional (Preferences)
Remember settings and choices (e.g., saved vehicle year/make/model/color, region).
Performance/Analytics
Help us understand usage so we can improve site speed, navigation, and features.
Advertising/Targeting (if enabled)
Used to deliver or measure ads and limit repetition. We do not use these unless and until we implement advertising partners; if used, you will have the option to opt out.
5. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by The Launch Pad.
Third-party cookies are set by service providers who support our operations (for example: secure payment gateways, analytics providers, or tag managers). These providers may use cookies to deliver their services to us and to you, subject to their own policies.

The exact names can vary by browser and device. This table provides typical examples.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Banner/Settings
Use our on-site controls (when presented) to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies.
Browser Controls
You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some features (e.g., login, checkout) may not function.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser sends a recognized universal opt-out signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising cookies to the extent required by Texas law.
8. Do Not Track
Many browsers offer "Do Not Track" (DNT). There is no common industry standard for DNT. We will continue to review developments and, where legally required, honor recognized signals for targeted advertising opt-outs (e.g., GPC).
9. Texas Privacy Rights (Summary)
Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), Texas residents may opt out of the processing of personal data for targeted advertising or sale of personal data. If we implement advertising cookies, you will be able to exercise this choice through our cookie banner or by contacting us (see Section 11). For detailed TDPSA rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, appeal), please see Your Texas Privacy Rights in our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after updates constitutes acceptance.
