Last updated: April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Slingshot Biosciences, Inc. ("Slingshot Bio," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at slingshotbio.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage work in a comparable way and are also covered by this policy. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this document.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and shopping cart management. The website cannot function correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve how our website works.
Examples: Google Analytics, Hotjar
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Targeting & Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for individual users and therefore more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Examples: LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads, Meta Pixel
3. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session cookies
These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of our website.
Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the operation of these cookies, and you should refer to the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information. Third parties whose cookies we may use include:
- Google Analytics — website traffic and usage analytics
- LinkedIn — professional network advertising and insights
- Meta (Facebook) — social media advertising
- HubSpot — marketing automation and form tracking
- Intercom — customer support and live chat
5. Your Cookie Choices & Controls
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie consent banner — when you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies
- Browser settings — most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or alert you about cookies, delete existing cookies, or browse in private/incognito mode
- Opt-out tools — for analytics cookies, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to operate.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if industry standards for DNT are established.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
