Interim summary. This is a plain-language description of our current data practices, published so you know what happens with your information today. It is being finalised into a formal, counsel-reviewed policy. Questions or requests? Email privacy@startuporiginals.com.

We keep cookies to a minimum. We use them to keep you signed in and to protect the service. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Cookies we use

Essential / authentication: set when you sign in so we can keep your session active and protect pages that require an account. Without these, sign-in doesn’t work.
Security: a token used to protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery.

Email measurement

Our newsletter emails may include a small tracking pixel and wrapped links so we can measure opens and clicks and improve what we send. This is part of the email, not a website cookie, and applies only if you subscribe.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the essential ones will prevent you from signing in. We do not sell data collected via cookies.

We’ll update this page if our use of cookies changes.
