Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Who We Are

FSD Life Tracker (fsdlifetracker.com) is operated by Giagolab. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it. We believe in radical transparency: we collect the bare minimum to keep this site running well.

What We Collect

We collect only anonymous analytics data. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information, and we do not store IP addresses (Google Analytics receives them only transiently for country-level geolocation, with IP anonymisation enabled). Specifically:

• Device data: Browser type, screen size, and operating system
• Navigation data: Which pages are visited, referring domain (hostname only), and general geographic region (country level, derived from timezone)
• Interaction events: Country selections, share/copy actions (the country code only, no personal data)
• UTM parameters: Campaign source/medium/name if present in the URL, to understand where traffic comes from

All data is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot identify individual users from the data we collect.

Cookies We Use

We set exactly one cookie of our own:

• cookie_consent — Stores your cookie preference ("accepted" or "declined"). Expires after 1 year. This is a strictly necessary cookie under GDPR as it records your consent choice.

If you accept cookies, we additionally load Google Analytics, which may set its own cookies for anonymous audience measurement. No advertising or third-party marketing cookies are ever used.

Analytics Providers

We use Google Analytics 4 for anonymous audience measurement (page views, traffic sources, approximate country). This service is provided by Google, which acts as a data processor on our behalf. IP anonymisation is enabled and all Google advertising features — ad personalisation, ad storage, and data sharing for advertising — are explicitly disabled. Their privacy practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

No data is shared with any other third party. We do not use Facebook Pixel or any advertising-related tracking, and we do not use Google Analytics data for advertising or remarketing.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom:

• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): Analytics cookies are only loaded after you explicitly accept them via the cookie banner
• Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): The consent cookie itself is set under legitimate interest, as it is necessary to respect your privacy preferences

For visitors outside the EEA/UK, analytics are loaded by default as GDPR consent requirements do not apply. You can still opt out via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer.

Data Retention

Anonymous analytics data is retained for up to 14 months in Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not export or archive this data. The consent cookie is retained on your device for 1 year.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Decline cookies — Click "Decline" on the cookie banner. No analytics will be loaded.
• Withdraw consent — Click "Manage cookies" in the footer at any time to reset your preference and re-display the banner.
• Block cookies — Use your browser settings to block all cookies from this site.
• Request information — Contact us to ask what data (if any) we hold. Since all data is anonymous and aggregated, we likely cannot identify any data relating to you specifically.
• Lodge a complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

International Transfers

Analytics data is processed in the United States on Google's global infrastructure. For EEA/UK visitors who consent to analytics, this constitutes a transfer of anonymised data to the US under Google's data processing agreement and its Standard Contractual Clauses.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted on this page.
