This site collects as little as it can. You don’t need an account, and you can read every page without giving us anything.
What do we collect?
- Visit statistics. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are read. It records the pages you view, the site that sent you, your device and browser type, and your approximate location, such as your city. Google says Google Analytics 4 doesn’t log or store IP addresses.
- Messages you send. If you email us, we keep your email address and message so we can reply.
- Crack photos and details. If you use the crack check form, we receive your email, the details you type and your photos.
The crack check form is processed by Cloudflare, which runs this site, and reaches us as email. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the form was sent by a person and not a bot.
We don’t sell personal information.
How long is data kept?
Google Analytics keeps visit data for the retention period set in our account, which is 14 months at most. Messages and photos stay in our email until we delete them, or sooner if you ask.
How are crack photos used?
We use them to answer you and to decide which guides to write or improve. We publish a photo only if you ticked the permission box on the form, and never with your name, email or address.
To ask us to delete your photos or message, email hello@concretecrackrepairguide.com.
Which cookies does the site use?
Two kinds, both for counting and crediting, not advertising.
- Google Analytics. It sets first-party cookies named
_gaand_ga_followed by an ID, which tell one visitor from another. They last up to two years. - Awin. Links to Concrete Sealers USA pass through Awin, which sets a cookie when you click to credit the sale.
Those cookies are covered by Google’s and Awin’s own privacy policies. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings, and Google offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
What about embedded videos?
Video embeds load from youtube-nocookie.com only when you press play. Until then, nothing is loaded from YouTube.
How can you contact us about privacy?
