Cookie Notice

This notice explains how StartupCFO uses cookies and similar browser storage on our website, authenticated financial workspace, and Investor Portal. Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage.

StartupCFO uses essential cookies and related storage to sign users in, protect sessions, maintain organization context, prevent abuse, and provide requested features. Authentication is provided through Clerk, which may set cookies needed to establish and maintain a secure session. The service may not function correctly if these cookies are blocked.

We may use local or session storage to remember interface preferences, onboarding progress, dismissed guidance, theme choice, and temporary Investor Portal state. This information helps the service behave consistently on your device. Some preferences remain until you clear browser storage or change the setting.

An Investor Portal may use cookies or browser storage to maintain an email verification, invitation, or preview session and to record basic access events for the founder. This supports portal security, revocation, expiration, and view reporting. Portal settings determine the level of access friction selected by the founder.

StartupCFO does not currently use third-party advertising cookies or sell browser activity for targeted advertising. If we add optional analytics or advertising technologies in the future, we will update this notice and provide consent controls where required.

Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies and website data. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in, organization access, or Investor Portal verification. Clearing cookies or local storage may sign you out and reset saved preferences. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser's privacy or site-data settings for instructions.

We may update this notice as our use of browser technologies changes. The updated date at the top shows when this notice was last revised.

Questions about cookies or browser storage can be sent to support@gostartupcfo.com.
