Cookie settings

First-touch account attribution

When you allow Analytics, we can keep a signed first-party cookie for up to 30 days containing the first landing path, external referrer domain and path, and allowlisted UTM or ad click parameters. Query strings and fragments are not stored.

If you create an account during that period, one insert-once attribution record is attached to the account and the temporary cookie is removed. The record is not created for visitors who do not sign up. Turning Analytics off removes the temporary cookie.

Essential cookies

Authentication, session, security, form-protection, and preference cookies keep accounts signed in and protect requests. These cookies are required for account and dashboard features and cannot be disabled through the website.

Job performance counts

When you allow Analytics, public job pages count views and selections of the Apply button. Employers see only aggregate totals for their own jobs together with applications submitted through Best Electrician Jobs.

The job performance database does not store raw IP addresses, user agents, full URLs, referrers, email addresses, or a browser visitor ID. The server creates a one-way keyed value to avoid counting the same view repeatedly in a 30-minute window, and that temporary value is retained for no more than about 48 hours.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics measures visits, pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device information, and interactions. Its default website setup uses a first-party identifier such as the _ga cookie. Google states that Analytics uses IP addresses at collection time and does not log or store individual IP addresses.

We request Analytics consent on your first visit. Analytics is disabled on sign-in, account, dashboard, and application pages even when you allow it. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Vercel Web Analytics

Vercel provides aggregated website traffic measurements without using third-party cookies. Vercel says its Web Analytics visitor identifiers reset daily and are not designed to identify a person across websites.
