Cookie policy

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how First Link, Inc., doing business as First Link Safety and First Link Services ("First Link Safety," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at firstlinksafetyservices.com (the "Site").

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information; the Terms of Use govern your use of the Site.

We do not sell personal information, we do not run advertising on the Site, and we do not use advertising cookies. Our Google Analytics 4 property is configured for Site measurement only — Google Signals and advertising-related GA4 data sharing are turned off, as described in our Privacy Policy.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website's owner.

We also use similar technologies that function like cookies but are technically different, including:

• Local storage and session storage — data saved in your browser by a website for later retrieval
• Pixels (tracking pixels, web beacons) — tiny images embedded in a web page or email that record when content is viewed
• Tags and scripts — pieces of code that collect information about your interaction with the Site

Throughout this policy, we use "cookies" as a shorthand for all of these technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Who Sets Cookies on the Site

Cookies on the Site may be set by:

• First Link Safety directly ("first-party cookies") — these are set by our domain
• Third-party services we use ("third-party cookies") — these are set by companies whose tools are integrated into the Site, such as Google Analytics

Third parties that set cookies have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use the data they collect. We list the third parties we use in Section 6 below.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify cookies into the following categories:

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function. They enable core features like page navigation, form submission, and security. You cannot opt out of these cookies without breaking the Site. No personal analytics or advertising information is collected by these cookies.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are visited, how long visits last, and which links are clicked. This information is aggregated and used to improve the Site. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose only. We do not use GA4 for advertising, remarketing, or audience building. Google Signals and advertising-related GA4 data sharing are turned off in our property settings.

5. Cookies Currently in Use

The tables below list the cookies and similar technologies currently set on the Site. Cookie names, purposes, and durations are accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the "Last Updated" date above, but can change with platform updates. If you identify a discrepancy, please contact us.

5.1 Strictly Necessary

The Site is a static website hosted on Vercel. It does not currently set any strictly-necessary cookies on your device from our domain — there is no user login, no server-side session, and no authentication on any public page. Our hosting provider (Vercel) may briefly set short-lived cookies for routing or security if unusual traffic conditions require it; these are session-only and contain no personal information.

5.2 Analytics

6. Third-Party Services That Set Cookies

The third parties listed below set cookies or similar technologies on the Site. Each has its own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to read.

7. How to Control Cookies

You have several options for controlling cookies.

7.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers let you:

• See what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete existing cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
• Be notified before a cookie is set

Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647 (opens in a new tab)
• Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer (opens in a new tab)
• Apple Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac (opens in a new tab)
• Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09 (opens in a new tab)

Blocking or deleting analytics cookies limits our ability to understand Site usage but does not prevent the Site from functioning for ordinary browsing and form submission.

7.2 Google Analytics

We do not provide a separate Google Analytics opt-out link on this Site. You can limit analytics cookies through your browser settings in Section 7.1. For how we configure and use GA4, see our Privacy Policy.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no industry consensus on how DNT signals should be interpreted, and the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals. Because we do not sell personal information or run advertising on the Site, Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals related to sale or targeted advertising do not change our current practices. See our Privacy Policy for more on your choices.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our Site, technologies, and regulations evolve. We will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be brought to your attention through a notice on the Site.

We will also update our Privacy Policy when our data practices change in ways that affect visitors. Significant cookie updates are expected when we add or remove analytics or other tools, or when regulations require new disclosures.
