What we use analytics for
We count visits and see which pages people use, so we can improve the site. We do not use analytics for advertising, and we do not use Google signals or ad personalisation.
The notice
The first time you visit the public website, a notice asks whether to accept analytics. The two buttons carry equal weight: "Accept analytics" and "No thanks". The site works the same either way. The notice does not appear inside the signed-in app, the Admin area or the sign-in pages.
- If you accept: Google Analytics saves analytics cookies on your device and counts the pages you view.
- If you say no: it saves no analytics cookies. Google still receives basic page-view details without cookies, such as the page address and title, the type of device and an approximate location worked out from your internet address.
Your choice is remembered on your device for 12 months, then we ask again.
Change your choice
Choose "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any public page. Choosing "No thanks" there withdraws your consent and removes the analytics cookies from your device.
What is saved on your device
| Name | Type | What it is for | When it is set | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga and _ga_ followed by an id | Cookie from Google | Counting visits | Only after you accept analytics | Up to 2 years, removed if you withdraw |
ppc-analytics-consent and ppc-analytics-consent-at | Stored in your browser | Remembers your analytics answer and when you gave it | When you answer the notice | 12 months |
ppc-utm | Stored for this browser tab only | Remembers a campaign tag from the link you arrived on, so we know which link led to a sign-up | Only if the link you arrived on carries a campaign tag | Until you close the tab |
pp_banner | Cookie from PoolPreCert | Remembers that you dismissed a notice bar on the site | Only if a notice bar is showing and you dismiss it | 1 year |
If you sign in, we also use the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember settings you save, such as the theme. These are needed for the app to work.
Questions
If you have a question or want us to remove data, contact support@poolprecert.com.
PoolPreCert helps you do and record your work. It does not decide whether a pool meets the Queensland standard. Only a licensed pool safety inspector does that.
