Privacy Policy - GDPR
Last updated: 31 August 2025
This website, www.nethletic.com, uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, to understand how it's used, and to improve our services. Some cookies are essential and are set automatically. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to measure usage and improve the user experience (e.g., heatmaps, session replays).
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via Cookie Settings on this site. For more information, see below.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. They may be set by us ("first-party") or by third parties ("third-party") whose services we use.
2) Legal basis
- Strictly necessary cookies: legitimate interest (to run the site).
- Analytics / performance cookies: your consent.
3) How we use analytics tools
Google Analytics (GA4)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages viewed, clicks, device type). We configure GA4 to limit personal data (e.g., IP masking/region controls where available) and we don't use GA to identify you directly. Data may be processed by Google on servers outside the EU under appropriate safeguards.
- Provider: Google LLC
- Purpose: usage statistics and site performance
- Opt-out (add-on): https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity to generate heatmaps and session replays so we can see which parts of pages are most used and spot usability issues. Clarity automatically masks common sensitive fields; we also configure masking to avoid capturing personal data in recordings.
- Provider: Microsoft Corporation
- Purpose: user experience analytics (heatmaps, session replays)
- Privacy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement
- Clarity: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/privacy-disclosure
Important: We never use Clarity or GA to record passwords or intentionally collect sensitive information.
