Current use
Boardesa does not require account cookies. The site uses local browser storage for theme preferences, consent choices, and optional local board saves. Editable .boardesa files and image/PDF/SVG/PNG exports are downloaded files controlled by you. For measurement and advertising on informational pages, Boardesa uses Google tags with consent controls described below.
Cookie consent banner
On your first visit, you may see a banner with "Essential only", "Analytics only", and "Accept all." Essential only keeps non-essential analytics and advertising storage denied in Google's consent mode. Analytics only allows Google Analytics measurement but keeps advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization denied. Accept all allows analytics storage and prepares the site for personalized ads if AdSense or similar is enabled. This banner is not a substitute for a Google-certified CMP where one is required for AdSense traffic. You can clear the saved choice by removing site data for Boardesa in your browser; the banner may appear again.
LocalStorage
localStorage is browser storage on your device. Boardesa uses it to remember your selected theme, your cookie choice, and, when you save a board locally, your current board data, including objects such as sticky notes or imported images. You can clear this data from your browser settings.
Advertising cookies
Boardesa may use Google AdSense on informational pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Boardesa or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Advertising partners may also use local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, and similar technologies to serve, personalize, limit, and measure ads. Non-essential ad storage remains off until you accept all in the banner or provide equivalent consent, where applicable. You can manage Google ad personalization at My Ad Center and may opt out of some third-party vendors' personalized advertising cookies at aboutads.info, where available. For EEA, UK, and Switzerland traffic, personalized ads should use Google's Privacy & messaging CMP or another Google-certified CMP configured in the AdSense account.
Analytics cookies
Boardesa uses Google Analytics with measurement ID G-X8J5VD24DN. Analytics storage is denied by default and is updated when you choose Analytics only or Accept all. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits, page views, browser/device information, approximate location, and referral source.
Managing cookies and storage
Browser settings usually let you block cookies, clear site data, or remove saved localStorage. Clearing site data may remove saved boards and theme preferences.
