Google Analytics 4
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) to see which pages are visited. Before you consent, or after you decline, no Google script is loaded and no analytics request is sent. If you withdraw consent in the cookie settings, measurement stops and the analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_<ID>) are removed from your browser. Advertising features, Google signals and ad personalization are turned off, and advertising consent is always denied.
We measure page views and, when an inquiry sent through the contact form is accepted for sending, one event with only the industry, design and package you picked. Page addresses are cleaned before they are sent: we keep only the industry, design, package and source values that the website itself uses, and we drop everything else, including anchors. The same applies to the referring page. We never send names, email addresses, phone numbers or message text. The sample websites are never measured, and neither is the website anywhere other than at websitesfor499.com. In our Google Analytics account the detailed event-level and user-level data is kept for 14 months (not extended by new activity). Aggregated reports are summaries and are not covered by that period, and the lifetime of the cookies in your browser (up to 2 years, set by Google) is a separate matter. Withdrawing consent removes the cookies at once.
