Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how first10 uses cookies and similar technologies on our founder website and application.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember information about your visit.

Cookies we use

• Strictly necessary — required for authentication, security, and core platform functionality.
• Preferences — remember settings such as your dashboard configuration.
• Analytics — help us understand how founders use the platform so we can improve it.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the platform from working correctly.

Third-party cookies

We use a small number of third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These include analytics providers that help us understand how founders interact with the platform. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of their respective providers, not by this Cookie Policy.

Cookie duration

Cookies set by first10 fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. These are used for authentication and maintaining your active session.
• Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. These are used for remembering your preferences and understanding usage patterns over time.

How to opt out

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The process varies by browser:

• Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the platform, including authentication and dashboard features.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through the platform.
