Google Analytics & Detailed Data Usage
We use Google Analytics to understand how our website is being used in order to improve user experience. User data is collected in various forms such as page views, website navigation paths, details on how often users visit our website, and what parts of the site are most popular. Google Analytics collects information through the use of cookies, which are small text files placed on your device. These cookies track user behavior but do not collect personal identification information.
The information generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to Google and stored on servers in the United States. This data is then used to compile statistical reports on website activity for us, but it's not used to identify individual users.
Your data is processed in accordance with our overall privacy policy and Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on, which prevents the Analytics JavaScript from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.
