Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small piece of text a website stores in your browser so that the site can remember something about you on your next request. Some are essential (like keeping you logged in), others are analytics or advertising. LeadingPilot only uses essential and analytics cookies. None of our cookies are sold to third parties.

• Session cookie — set when you log in to your workspace. Holds a signed JWT. Lifetime: 7 days, then deleted automatically. Essential; cannot be refused without losing access to /app.
• Currency preference — remembers EUR/USD/GBP selection on checkout. Lifetime: 1 year. Functional; you can refuse it and pick a currency manually each time.
• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*) — aggregate visitor analytics. We do not use this data for advertising or sell it. IP anonymisation is enabled by default. Lifetime: up to 2 years. Optional.

• No advertising or remarketing cookies (no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no TikTok Pixel)
• No cross-domain tracking (no Hotjar, no FullStory, no session-replay tools)
• No A/B test cookies (we do not run an A/B test framework today)
• No social-login cookies (we do not offer Google or LinkedIn sign-in today)

The session cookie is essential and is set only after you actively log in, so consent is implied by the login itself. The analytics cookie is optional. You can refuse it by using your browser's Do Not Track setting, by installing an ad-blocker that disables Google Analytics, or by visiting Google's opt-out plugin. We do not need to ask you for explicit cookie consent because we use no advertising cookies and the analytics cookie is anonymised, but if your jurisdiction requires it (Germany, France) we will honour a refusal.

We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when anything in our cookie set changes. Material changes (adding a new third-party cookie, enabling advertising, or starting cross-site tracking) will also be disclosed via email to active accounts at least 14 days before they take effect.

Email privacy@leadingpilot.com with any cookie or tracking question. We respond within one working day. For broader data protection topics see the Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales and aligned with the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA. Where a stricter local rule applies (e.g. France's CNIL guidelines), the stricter rule wins.
