Privacy & analytics

Ocean Scanner uses optional first-party analytics to understand which pages, search filters and comparison tools help visitors. No analytics events are sent until you choose Accept analytics.

What we measure

We record the page path, time of activity, event type, connected cruise operator, filter category, mobile or desktop device category, and a broad source category such as search or social. Query strings, search text, names, email addresses, IP addresses and full referrer URLs are not stored in our analytics database.

A random session identifier is stored in your browser’s session storage after consent. It resets after 30 minutes of inactivity or when that browser tab’s session ends. It does not identify you by name. Your consent preference is stored locally for up to one year, including when you decline.

Retention and access

Analytics records older than 90 days are removed when new activity is recorded, and excluded from the dashboard. Only the signed-in site owner can view the dashboard. We do not send these analytics events to Google Analytics or an advertising service.

Your choice

You can change your choice using Analytics preferences at the bottom of any page. Declining stops future tracking and clears the session identifier on this tab. Previously recorded anonymous activity remains until it expires. Searching, comparing and opening operator links work without analytics consent.

Saved cruises and external links

Your saved cruises are stored on your device for the shortlist feature, separately from analytics. When you continue to a cruise operator, that operator’s own privacy and cookie policies apply. An outbound click is not proof of a completed booking.
