3. Analytics — Umami

Hairboard uses Umami Analytics, a privacy-friendly audience analysis solution. Umami operates without tracking cookies: no third-party cookie is placed on your device for analytics purposes.

Data collected by Umami is fully anonymized (no personal identifier, no IP address retained), hosted on our own servers in Europe, and never shared with third parties. This processing does not require prior consent, in line with the CNIL's recommendations for cookieless solutions.

4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Hairboard uses no advertising, targeting, or profiling cookies. No data is shared with advertising networks or third-party social platforms for targeting purposes.

5. Managing Your Preferences

Since Hairboard only uses cookies that are strictly necessary for the service to function, and a cookieless analytics solution, no consent banner is required.

You can, however, control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may prevent you from logging into your account.
