Usage measurement & saved links

Saved links and recently opened resources

Saving a guide or tool records its catalogue ID and save time in your member account. These links are available when you sign in on another device. Your engineering project data remains in its existing storage.

Remembering recent resources is optional and off initially. When enabled, it keeps up to 12 supported resource IDs and opening times. You can clear them or switch this feature off in My Workspace. You can also clear all saved links there.

Optional audience measurement

The new measurement feature is off until you allow it in “Usage measurement settings”. If allowed, your browser stores a random ID and your choice for up to 90 days. The server stores a keyed hash of that ID, supported resource IDs and event counts. It does not add your name, email address, IP address, project contents, search text or full page query strings to these measurement records.

We count supported resource opens and sponsored placement interactions. Repeat events for the same browser, resource and placement are limited to one per 30 minutes. A returning browser is one measured on two or more Malaysia calendar days in the selected reporting period. This does not identify a person or measure all website traffic.

Audience records are kept for up to 90 calendar days and old daily files are removed on the next measurement or administrator report request. Administrators see aggregate reports. Manufacturers may receive aggregate placement reports, not member contact lists or project contents.

Turning measurement off removes the browser ID from this feature’s local preference record and stops new measurements. It does not remove previously collected aggregate records. Private browsing, changing devices, clearing browser storage and shared devices affect counts.

This new feature respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Its setting applies only to this module. Existing website analytics and hosting access logs are separate and are not changed by this update.

Manufacturer advertising

Sponsored placements are labelled and selected by topic. No behavioural advertising profile is used. Opening a manufacturer link takes you to its website, where its own privacy terms apply. Advertising does not change calculator results or independent technical guidance.

Supplier page measurement

Supported supplier profiles and product pages share the optional usage-measurement choice above. When allowed, we also count product-detail link clicks, successful additions to a saved shortlist, manufacturer website clicks and WhatsApp, phone or email button clicks. A click does not confirm a sent message, an enquiry or a sale. Shortlist additions measure save actions, not the current number of saved items.

Only catalogue identifiers and counts are recorded with a keyed browser identifier. We do not record the content of your messages or your contact information. Repeated matching actions are limited to one per 30-minute time block. Reports use a rolling 90-day window. Older supplier records are removed the next time reporting or measurement runs. Administrator reports contain aggregate totals only. Browser privacy signals are respected.

The product shortlist itself is stored separately in your browser after you choose to save. You can use the shortlist with measurement switched off. Shared shortlist links contain product identifiers only.

Weekly manufacturer placements

The weekly reading page may include a clearly labelled manufacturer card selected by topic and date. Sample placements are identified as demonstrations and are not measured as sponsored campaigns.

When you allow usage measurement, genuine sponsored cards can record a visible view (at least half the card on screen for one second) and button clicks. The records include campaign and topic identifiers, counts and a keyed browser identifier. Names, contact details, message contents and engineering project data are not included. Administrator sessions are excluded.

This uses your existing 360S browser choice and respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. Repeat matching actions are limited to one per 30 minutes. Reports retain a rolling 90 days; older daily records are removed on the next report or measurement request. Reports contain aggregates only and do not represent all traffic, enquiries or sales. Switching measurement off stops new events. It does not remove previous aggregate records.
