Privacy & Analytics

Website Visits and Google Analytics

The public website is configured to use Google Analytics 4 under measurement ID G-8EF954X2P9. Our website code sends page views and an affiliate_click event when a visitor follows a tagged Shopee product link. The click event describes the product, category and link placement. It does not tell us whether you completed an order, what you paid or your payment details.

Google Analytics can use first-party cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions. Your browser also communicates network information, including its IP address, when it contacts Google. These interactions should not be described as completely anonymous. Google explains its processing and available controls in the linked information below.

Our own page-view code removes query strings and URL fragments from the page address and referrer it supplies, and disables Google Signals and advertising-personalisation signals. Additional automatic measurements depend on the Google Analytics stream settings. We do not deliberately send your email, name or private messages as analytics event parameters.

Appearance Preferences and Hosting

The appearance control lets you follow your device setting or choose a light or dark theme. That choice is saved using browser local storage so the site can remember it on later pages. Clearing site storage resets the saved choice. The website does not require an account to read its guides or browse the directory.

Loading a webpage also involves requests to the website host. Hosting systems may process technical request information to serve pages and investigate faults. This notice does not promise a particular hosting-log retention period or an analytics retention setting that has not been confirmed.

Affiliate Links and External Websites

Our product links send you to Shopee, where the platform and seller handle the listing, purchase and payment. Dive-centre links take you to the relevant operator. Those websites have their own privacy arrangements and may set their own cookies. Our affiliate disclosure explains the commercial relationship attached to product links.

If you email us, include only the information needed for the website question. Please do not send payment-card information or medical records. Our contact address is for site enquiries and corrections; it is not an emergency service or a medical-assessment channel.

Your Browser Controls and Questions

You can review or clear cookies and site storage in your browser. Blocking cookies alone does not necessarily prevent all measurement requests. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. Its availability and instructions are linked below; private-browsing mode alone is not a guarantee that analytics requests will stop.

For a question about this website’s use of information, email [email protected] and identify the page or feature concerned. Scubadive.courses is published by Marcus Yee. We will update this notice when the website’s analytics or visitor-facing features change.
