In short
This site stores one setting in your browser to remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics. Google Analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept analytics. There are no advertising cookies, tracking pixels or embedded videos, and you can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings in the footer.

Your analytics choice
This notice explains the browser storage and optional analytics used on systemiseyourtrade.com. Google Analytics 4 is optional. On this site it loads only after you select Accept analytics. Reject analytics is an equally available choice. Before a choice and after rejection, no Google analytics script or measurement request is initiated by this integration. Continued browsing is not consent. Advertising pixels and third-party media embeds are not used. Fonts and artwork are hosted locally.
What is stored
The necessary browser local-storage entry syt.analytics.v1 records only your accepted or rejected choice and its expiry, for up to 180 days. It does not contain tool answers. A temporary storage probe checks that your preference can be saved. If storage is unavailable, invalid or expired, analytics stays off and a new choice is needed.
After acceptance on the production domain, Google Analytics can use first-party _ga and _ga_S4KKWZFZB6 cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions for usage measurement. This integration sets a 180-day cookie lifetime and disables automatic cookie-expiry renewal. Browser restrictions may shorten that period. The consent preference also expires after 180 days. Cookie lifetime is not the same as Google's server-side data retention.
Change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings in any page footer, then Reject analytics, to withdraw. This disables analytics, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads pages where the Google script was loaded so its event listeners no longer run. Other open tabs on the same origin receive the changed preference. Suspended tabs check the choice when resumed. Reloading can clear unsaved tool inputs. Withdrawal stops subsequent collection; it cannot recall a request already sent or automatically erase data already received by Google.
You can also clear site data in your browser. Clearing the preference asks you again and leaves analytics off until acceptance. Rejecting analytics does not prevent use of the guides or tools.
Information used for analytics
Consent is the basis for optional analytics, used to understand website usage and improve the guides. Google can process browser and device information, cookie identifiers, usage events and network information needed to receive requests. The page location supplied by this integration contains the production origin and path only, without the query string or fragment; its supplied page referrer is empty. Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled. The missed call calculator and software checklist process your answers in your browser and do not send them to Paul or a supplier. Do not enter personal or confidential details in tools or page addresses.
The page-location setting described above applies to the location supplied by this integration, not to every event Google may generate. See the privacy notice for provider handling and your rights.
Network and security handling
Hosting and network providers still process technical requests to deliver and protect this site. This is distinct from optional analytics. Changes to cookies or tracking will be reflected in this notice. Browser history, cached pages and saved or printed files are outside these consent controls.
