What information NFRGuide processes and why.
NFRGuide does not ask readers to create accounts and does not set advertising or analytics cookies.
The site’s web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser therefore connects to Google’s servers when you view a page, and Google receives standard request information such as your IP address.
The site includes optional first-party analytics that is switched off by default. If the site operator enables it, the site records which pages were viewed, search queries entered on the site, and counts of clicks on outbound affiliate links.
Search queries are shortened and have email addresses and long numbers masked before storage. No account, name, email address or IP address is stored with these records. A short-lived fingerprint of the request is used only to ignore duplicate events and is not stored.
The site operator can delete analytics records older than a configurable retention period (180 days by default). This purge is currently run manually from the CMS; it is not yet automatic.
Editors and administrators who sign in to the content management system receive a session cookie that is required for sign-in. Account activity in the CMS is logged for security and audit purposes.
