Reading the current setting.
Ad measurement is a separate, optional choice that includes detailed analytics. It permits ad-click IDs, pseudonymous session IDs and real WhatsApp inquiry events and times to be sent to Google Analytics/Google Ads, without names, phone, email or chat content. It is off by default and does not affect contact.
Default state
A first visit does not open a measurement prompt or grant detailed tracking permission. By default, we keep cookieless daily totals, without a visitor profile, cross-page journey or persisted first-touch source. Daily totals and Google Analytics are separate measures; they are not added together or described as unique people.
Essential only stops all website measurement. We also respect an existing refusal and browser DNT/GPC signals. Aggregate only returns to the default. Your preference is saved locally to remember this setting, not to identify you. An older detailed-analytics choice is not automatically upgraded to the new permission.
The hosting service may still process network information needed for delivery, security and reliability; this is distinct from our aggregate measurement store. Source categories come from recognizable browser referrers or campaign labels, not proof that an AI system recommended or cited us.
What we use
Cookieless totals
Our service stores daily counts by page category, language, recognizable source category and WhatsApp click. The measurement database stores no visitor ID, IP address, full URL, raw referring URL or form content. These totals are not forwarded to Google.
Google Analytics (optional)
Loads only when you explicitly enable detailed analytics here. It may use cookies and pseudonymous client/session identifiers, separately from daily totals. This does not authorize advertising, remarketing or session recording.
Ad conversion measurement (separate opt-in)
Only after selecting ad measurement below, Google Analytics/Google Ads may use ad-click identifiers, pseudonymous client/session IDs and actual inquiry events and times to measure ad performance. Names, email, phone and chat content are not uploaded. Analytics-only consent never becomes advertising consent automatically. Remarketing, personalized advertising, Reddit Pixel and session recording stay off.
OpenStreetMap map tiles
Requested only when you open the global service-location map. The public tile request is handled by OpenStreetMap's tile service.
FoshanBuild attribution record (optional)
After you explicitly enable detailed analytics and click a WhatsApp entry, limited source and page information and pseudonymous identifiers can be retained to check actual inbound conversations. A click is not a received inquiry.
Retention and data types
- Daily aggregate rows are retained for up to 180 days and expired rows are removed as new counts arrive. There are no individual event records to reconstruct a person's activity.
- Only after consent, first-touch attribution may remain in browser storage for up to 30 days.
- Optional WhatsApp-entry attribution is retained for up to 90 days, without names, email, phone or chat content. It may contain analytics client/session IDs; ad-click IDs are permitted only for new records with separate ad-measurement consent. Withdrawal removes matching intents and delivery details. Minimal replay-protection fingerprints remain for up to 90 days. Old records are not backfilled or upgraded.
- Project information you actively send through WhatsApp or email is customer correspondence and is separate from the website analytics record described here.
Changing your choice
Choose Enable optional detailed analytics to turn off ad measurement while keeping analytics, or choose Aggregate only or Essential only. Changes do not resend old inquiries. Withdrawal cannot promise deletion of data Google has already received.
Return here at any time to choose Essential only and stop future measurement, or switch to Aggregate only. We stop subsequent detailed analytics and attempt to clear attribution storage, controllable analytics cookies and matching intent records; failed withdrawals are retried. Data already sent to Google follows its policies and applicable law, and cannot be promised to disappear immediately. Counts without personal identifiers cannot be retrieved or removed for a specific visitor.
