Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. Google Analytics employs cookies that are stored on your computer to analyze your use of the site. The information generated by these cookies, including your IP address, time, place, and frequency of visits to our site, is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
In using Google Analytics, we employ the "anonymizeIp" extension, which abbreviates and anonymizes your IP address before transferring it from EU/EEA member states. Google uses this information to analyze your use of our site, compile reports for us on internet activity, and provide other services relating to our website.
Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google states that it will never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly, as noted elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. However, please note that by doing so, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.
Google Analytics also offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that provides you with more control over what data Google can collect on websites you access. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics not to transmit any information about website visits to Google Analytics. However, the browser deactivation add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may engage.
Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) that are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our site is used.
