Google Analytics and optional analytics cookies
With your permission, SailNoted uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Meta Pixel to understand aggregate use of the public website, such as pages visited, browser and device categories, and interactions with public navigation and forms. We use this information to improve the site and its content.
Google Analytics and Meta Pixel do not load until you choose “Allow analytics” in the website analytics banner. You can decline analytics or change your choice at any time through “Privacy choices” in the site footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection.
SailNoted does not intentionally send form contents, names, email addresses, contact messages, account information, vessel information, location data, logbook data, or other operational data to Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising, remarketing, Google Signals, or personalized advertising.
SailNoted configures Google Analytics for the minimum standard retention period currently available. Google may process analytics data under its own privacy practices. For questions about SailNoted’s analytics use or privacy, contact us at info@sailnoted.com.
