Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what aquapulse-app.com stores in your browser, why, and how you can change your choice. Browser storage works per-domain, not per-product, so it covers every page on this domain: the AquaPulse website and the My ATS Job App Optimizer pages. Neither the AquaPulse mobile app nor My ATS Job App Optimizer's own future mobile app is covered here — those are separate products with their own data practices, described in the AquaPulse Privacy Policy and the My ATS Job App Optimizer Privacy Policy respectively.
1. What "cookies" means here
"Cookies" is used loosely to cover cookies and similar browser storage, such as localStorage, since both can store information on your device and both are treated the same way under UK data protection law (PECR and UK GDPR). Where it matters, we say exactly which mechanism is used.
2. What this domain stores, and why
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
aquapulse_consent_v1 |
localStorage (not a cookie) | AquaPulse (first-party) | Remembers your cookie choice, so this banner doesn't reappear on every visit. | Until you clear your browser storage or change your preference | Strictly necessary |
Google Analytics (GA4) cookies, for example _ga |
Cookies set on this domain by Google's analytics script | Google LLC, only on AquaPulse website pages and only if you allow Analytics | Helps us see aggregate usage, such as which pages and tools are used and simple counts of clicks and errors. | Set by Google — see Google's own documentation | Optional — requires your consent |
That is a complete list of what this domain stores. The My ATS Job App Optimizer pages do not load analytics.
3. Optional analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics 4 only with your consent. AquaPulse website pages load it only if you allow Analytics in the cookie banner or preferences. Until you do, the analytics script is not loaded and no connection is made to Google for this purpose. We do not run Google Ads or set advertising or affiliate-tracking cookies ourselves on this website, and we configure Analytics for measurement only: Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off in our tag, and advertising storage is denied.
When you allow Analytics, our own measurement events carry only fixed labels: the page you are on, the type of page, which kind of link or button was used, and whether a tool produced a result or an error. They do not include what you type into tools or forms. Page addresses and the address of the page you came from are sent without any query string or fragment. Google Analytics also receives some standard technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser and device details and the page title.
We read the results as aggregate reports, but Google receives the individual events, linked to a random identifier stored in a cookie on your device, and processes them under its own Privacy Policy and Cookies page, which AquaPulse does not control. If you later withdraw consent, analytics stops sending data and we make a best-effort attempt to remove its first-party cookies. We cannot recall data Google has already received.
4. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you Reject, Accept all, or open Manage preferences for a category-by-category choice. Rejecting leaves the site fully usable — every guide, tool and page works exactly the same either way.
You can review or change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page, including this one.
You can also clear cookies and site data at any time through your browser's own settings, which will remove aquapulse_consent_v1 and any Google Analytics cookies set after you allowed Analytics.
5. Changes to this policy
If we add a new non-essential script, embed or tracking technology in future, we will update this page and the relevant consent category before it runs, and we will change the stored consent version so the banner asks again rather than assuming your earlier choice still applies.
