Cookie policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the service.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies, collectively referred to as “cookies.”

2. Types we use

We categorize the cookies we use into four types:

• Essential: required for the site to function — cannot be disabled
• Functional: remember your preferences to enhance your experience
• Analytics: help us understand how members use the site
• Marketing: used to deliver relevant advertising and track campaign performance

We only set non-essential cookies with your prior consent, which you can grant or withdraw at any time through our cookie preference center.

3. Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to operate. They enable core functions such as signing in, keeping your session secure, and protecting forms against abuse. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the site.

Cookies we currently set in this category:

• PHPSESSID — maintains your authenticated session while you are signed in
• mba_consent — stores your cookie consent choices

Duration: your session, or up to 6 months for the consent record.

4. Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features — for example, your preferred advisers, boardroom layout, or notification settings as those features are introduced.

Duration: up to 12 months. Can be disabled in the cookie preference center, though some conveniences may stop working.

5. Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are most visited, where members encounter problems, and how navigation flows work. This data is aggregated and used to improve the service, not to identify you.

Where we use analytics tools, we configure them to anonymize IP addresses and minimize personal data collection wherever possible.

Duration: up to 24 months. Requires consent.

6. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to reach prospective members with relevant messaging. They may be set by us or by advertising partners.

We do not use marketing cookies to build personal profiles for sale to third parties. Marketing cookies are only set with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Duration: up to 12 months. Requires consent.

7. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on the site may be set by third-party services we use as the platform grows. These may include:

• Payment processors — fraud detection and payment flow cookies when subscription billing launches
• Authentication providers — if you sign in with Google or another SSO provider
• Analytics providers — aggregated usage statistics (consent required)
• Customer support tools — session data for support interactions

Third-party cookies are governed by the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies independently.

8. Managing cookies

Cookie preference center

When you first visit My Board of Advisors, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 180 days. You can change it at any time by clicking “Cookie preferences” in the footer of any page.

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent signing in and other core functions.

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge

Opt-out tools

For interest-based advertising, you may also use industry opt-out tools such as the NAI Opt-Out or Your Online Choices (EU).

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Our site currently does not respond differently to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for their interpretation. You can use our cookie preference center to control tracking independently of DNT browser settings.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide notice on the site or by email.
