Privacy Policy

This static edition uses limited, cookie-free measurement to understand which guides are useful.

Current editionJuly 16, 2026

Cookie-free first-party analytics

Starting on July 26, 2026, First Board uses a first-party analytics service operated by the x-app.eu network. It records the page path, a reduced referring site and path without query parameters, and aggregate device and country information. We use these measurements to count visits, understand which guides are useful, and improve site structure and performance. We do not use them for advertising or cross-site profiling.

The analytics service processes an IP address transiently to deliver and protect the request and to produce a daily anonymized visitor hash. The raw IP address is not stored in the analytics database. Reports contain aggregated page, referrer, device, and country statistics.

Cookies and session storage

First Board does not set advertising or analytics cookies. A random session identifier is kept in your browser's sessionStorage and expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. It is sent only to the x-app.eu first-party analytics endpoint to group page views into a visit; it is not used to follow you across unrelated websites.

The site has no account system, comment box, or newsletter form, and we do not ask you to submit personal information through the site. The hosting provider may also process basic request and security information under its own retention and security practices.

External websites

Guides link to official agencies, safety organizations, manufacturers, and other third-party websites. When you follow an external link, that website receives your request and applies its own privacy policy. First Board does not control those services.

Policy changes and questions

We may revise this policy when the site’s features or hosting arrangements change. The date shown on this page reflects the current edition. Privacy questions can be directed through the contact channel published by the x-app.eu network.
