Google Analytics, only with your consent

With your consent, PluginProbe uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read. The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you accept, Google Analytics collects the pages you view, the page you came from, your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, the time of the visit, and an approximate location (country and city) derived from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not store the IP address itself. It does not collect your name or email address.

It stores a random identifier in two cookies, _ga and _ga_51KDQ3TR8E, so that repeat visits can be recognised. They are set only after you accept, and expire after two years unless you withdraw consent or delete them sooner.

The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Google may process the data outside the EU, including in the United States; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Before you choose

Until you accept, analytics storage and all advertising storage are set to denied through Google Consent Mode. The Google Analytics script is still loaded from Google's servers, so your browser connects to Google, but no cookie is set and no visit is measured. PluginProbe shows no ads, and advertising consent is never requested or granted.

Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the question is not asked on every page. It stays on your device and is not sent to PluginProbe.

How long data is kept

Google Analytics keeps user-level and event-level data for 14 months, after which Google deletes it. Aggregated reports, such as the number of visits per month, may be kept longer; they cannot be traced back to a person.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you gave it: open Cookie settings in the footer of any page and choose Reject. Measurement stops at once and the _ga cookies are deleted. Clearing this site's data in your browser has the same effect.

Serving the site

Like any website, PluginProbe is delivered through its hosting provider and Cloudflare, which process technical request data such as your IP address and browser in order to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. No account is needed to use PluginProbe, and it has no sign-in or contact forms.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. The analytics identifier is random, so the operator can usually only find your data if you provide it. To use these rights, email the address above.

You can also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the EU country where you live or work.
