Cookie Statement

Last updated: 7 September 2026 · The ecosystem-wide cookie statement lives at aifirstnation.org/cookie-policy; this page covers community.aifirstnation.org. There is no cookie banner here because everything below is strictly necessary — consent rules exempt it, and nothing here tracks you.

What is deliberately absent

  • No analytics cookies — no _ga, _gid, or similar.
  • No advertising or marketing cookies, cross-site trackers, or social pixels.
  • No preference or profiling cookies.

The one optional third-party touchpoint

Posts may embed YouTube videos. Nothing loads from Google until you press play; from that point, Google’s rules govern the player.

If this ever changes

If measurement is ever added, it will be cookieless and aggregate, and this page will be updated the same day — cookies are not added quietly here.and Terms of Use.
