Cookie Notice
FirstToShip (firsttoship.com)
Draft date: September 8, 2026
Effective date: [DATE]
This Cookie Notice explains how [Company Legal Name] uses cookies and similar technologies on firsttoship.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. We use “cookies” here to cover those similar technologies where relevant.
2. What we use today (launch baseline)
Essential — always on
These are needed for the site to work. We do not treat them as optional:
| Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|
| Session | Keeping you signed in / maintaining a secure session |
| Unlock / purchase access | Remembering that you bought FirstToShip and unlocking kit content |
| Security | Fraud prevention, load balancing, CSRF protection where applicable |
| Preferences | Cookie-consent choice itself, basic UI prefs |
Without essential cookies/storage, login and content unlock may not function.
Analytics — when live (consent where required)
We may add product analytics (e.g., PostHog or similar) to understand how the course is used (page views, funnel steps, feature usage).
Until analytics is enabled: we do not load non-essential analytics cookies for that purpose.
When analytics goes live:
- Where required (e.g., many EEA/UK users), we will ask for consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies
- You can accept, refuse, or later change your mind via a cookie banner / preferences control
- Analytics tools are a category of provider; the specific vendor name will be listed in the banner or this Notice when enabled
We do not currently run advertising / retargeting cookie suites as part of core FirstToShip. If that changes, we will update this Notice and obtain consent where required.
3. Payment and hosting
Checkout may set cookies from our payment processor ([Payment Processor Name / TBD]) and hosting/CDN providers. Those are typically essential to complete payment or deliver the site securely. Their practices are governed by their own policies as well.
4. Your choices
- Essential cookies: required for the Service; if you block them entirely in your browser, parts of firsttoship.com may break.
- Analytics (when enabled): manage via our cookie banner / preferences (link to be added when live), or browser settings.
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies; see your browser’s help pages.
California / similar laws: if analytics or other tech constitutes “sale” or “sharing,” we will provide an opt-out consistent with our Privacy Policy.
5. On-page banner copy (suggested)
Before analytics:
We use essential cookies for login, session, and unlock. See our Cookie Notice and Privacy Policy.
When analytics (e.g., PostHog) is live:
We use essential cookies for login, session, and unlock. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies (e.g., PostHog) to improve FirstToShip. [Accept] [Reject non-essential] · Cookie Notice · Privacy Policy
6. Changes
We may update this Notice when our stack changes (new analytics, new processor, etc.). Check the effective date above. Material changes to non-essential cookies will be reflected in the consent UI where required.
