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.
Google preferred sources control
The footer carries an Add First Board to your Google preferred sources control. It is an ordinary link to Google’s own source settings and works with JavaScript turned off. When JavaScript is available, a script served by Google at news.google.com upgrades it so the confirmation appears in a Google dialog on this page instead of on a separate Google page. That script is requested from Google on every page of this site, so Google receives ordinary request data for it, and Google’s terms apply to that request and to any choice you confirm. First Board is not told whether you used the control, receives no identifier from it, and sets no cookie for it. Blocking third-party scripts leaves the control working as a plain link.
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.
