9. Cookies and Similar Technologies
VisPro Dive uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) to enhance your experience and analyze usage patterns. Cookies help us:
- Remember your preferences and login information
- Track your session and interactions
- Analyze aggregate usage data through Google Analytics
- Detect and prevent fraud or security threats
Consent-based analytics: When you first visit VisPro Dive, we show a cookie banner where you can accept or decline analytics. We use Google Consent Mode: until you accept, Google Analytics does not set any tracking cookies and only receives anonymous, cookieless measurement pings that cannot identify you. If you accept analytics, full analytics cookies are enabled; if you decline, we keep measurement cookieless. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the site's stored preferences in your browser.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of VisPro Dive. You can additionally opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
10. Google Analytics
VisPro Dive uses Google Analytics 4 (Tracking ID: G-DWRV1VW2S3) to collect and analyze aggregated usage data. Google Analytics may collect:
- Pages and content viewed
- Session duration and frequency
- Device and browser information
- Approximate geographic location (from IP address)
- Referral source and engagement events
This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you (your name, email, and payment information are not collected by Google Analytics). We operate Google Analytics with Consent Mode v2: before you accept analytics in our cookie banner, Analytics runs in a cookieless mode that sets no tracking cookies and receives only anonymous measurement pings. Full, cookie-based analytics are enabled only after you accept. For more information about Google's privacy practices, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
