Privacy Policy

Usage measurement

With your analytics consent, ShortcutRef uses Google Analytics 4 and, on pages where it is configured, Microsoft Clarity. These providers may process device and browser information, page visits, referral information and online identifiers. Clarity can provide session replays and heatmaps. These records are not a guarantee of anonymity; please avoid entering personal information into this public reference.

Feature events and consent

Search, print requests, trainer starts/ends, successful shortcut copies, saved favorite changes and manual system changes, search result selections and successful sheet-link copies are measured only when analytics consent is granted. Custom events contain the reference application, language, system, interaction type and bounded counts of displayed results, trainer answers, elapsed training time or changed favorites. They do not include search text, pressed keys, saved shortcuts or shared-sheet contents. The Google Analytics page URL configured by this site excludes query parameters and fragments. Rejecting analytics prevents these new feature events and prevents initially loading the optional analytics providers. If a provider was already loaded, consent changes are communicated to it; limited consent-mode signals may still occur.

Local preferences and advertising

Theme, language, system, consent, saved shortcuts and trainer records may be stored in your browser’s localStorage. Advertising is currently disabled. The AdSense account meta tag and ads.txt prepare verification and do not serve ads. Advertising consent will use a separate Google-certified message before the future advertising integration is enabled. The analytics choice does not authorize advertising.

Control and service providers

Use Cookie settings in the footer or the controls on our cookie policy page to change your analytics choice. Privacy and cookie disclosure pages do not load Google Analytics, Clarity, advertising code or the Google consent message. Cloudflare hosts the site and its cookieless Web Analytics beacon can measure technical page performance and visits. Your browser or the providers may expose additional privacy controls. Contact the site through the Contact page for privacy questions.

Provider privacy information

Contact form and email

The contact form sends your optional name, email address, topic and message to the shared QRWave contact service, hosted and protected by Cloudflare. Resend forwards the email and Google/Gmail receives the correspondence. The recipient address is held on the server and is not included in the public form. No automatic reply is sent. Daily counters store a technical identifier, UTC day and site only, not names, email addresses, messages or IP addresses. Cloudflare processes connection information for hosting and security; technical rate-limit keys use an HMAC. Contact attempts, including failed attempts and retries, count towards shared daily limits. The form does not send fields to analytics or session replay services and does not save them in browser storage or the service-worker cache. An unchanged retry retains its request identifier; the provider's idempotency window is 24 hours.
