Privacy

Current site behavior

Machine Fault Guide uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage, including page views, navigation and general device or browser information. Google Analytics may set or read identifiers such as cookies and process information including the requested page, approximate location derived from network data, device information and referral source. The GA4 Measurement ID used by this site is G-ZMDEZ6YQB5.

Google processes this analytics data under its own terms and privacy practices. You can learn more in Google’s privacy policy and use browser settings or privacy tools to limit cookies and analytics requests. Machine Fault Guide does not use the GA4 code as a login identifier and does not intentionally send names, email addresses, serial numbers or other user-entered personal information to Google Analytics.

The browser-based site search loads the published search index from this website and filters it locally. Search terms are not deliberately sent to Google Analytics as custom events, although the destination search-page URL may be included in normal page-view data.

Standard hosting and network infrastructure may process request data such as IP address, user agent, requested URL and timestamp for delivery, security and operational logs. Retention and processing can depend on the hosting provider configuration.

External links

Public GitHub issues

Correction and contact links may open GitHub. Information posted in a public issue is publicly visible and processed under GitHub’s terms. Do not include personal, customer, serial-number or confidential information.

Advertising and future changes

Advertising remains disabled. If advertising, forms, consent controls, custom analytics events or another data-processing feature is enabled later, this page and the relevant user controls must be reviewed before production release.
