When you visit our site, we gather information that helps us understand how people use our penetration testing resources and what security topics interest them most. This isn't about building detailed profiles – it's about making our content more useful for cybersecurity professionals and businesses looking to improve their security posture.

We track which pages get the most attention, where visitors spend time reading, and what security topics generate the most interest. For example, if we notice many people reading about vulnerability assessments but few checking our compliance testing information, that tells us something about what the cybersecurity community needs right now.

Here's a real example: Last year, our analytics showed that many visitors were reading our vulnerability assessment articles but then leaving without exploring our penetration testing services. This insight led us to create clearer connections between these topics and better explain how different security services work together.

We also noticed that mobile users were having trouble with our security report downloads, so we redesigned that entire process. Without usage data, we wouldn't have known about these friction points that were affecting our clients' experience.

Analytics data is automatically deleted after 26 months, which gives us enough time to identify trends without keeping information indefinitely. Essential cookies last only as long as your browsing session, while performance cookies typically expire after one year.

You can clear all cookies from your browser at any time, and you can use the control panel above to opt out of non-essential tracking. If you reject optional cookies, you'll still get the full sharkdeeps.com experience – just without the analytics that help us improve our content.

We use Google Analytics for website insights, which means Google processes some of your usage data according to their privacy policies. We've configured Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and limit data sharing, but Google still receives basic information about your visit.

Our contact forms use standard web technologies that don't involve third-party tracking. When you download security resources or request penetration testing information, that happens directly through our servers without additional data collection services.
