Like many services, Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions. In our case, they collect information about how visitors use our site. We then use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. These cookies store information such as when the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page.

Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site.
