To improve your experience on our Website, we may use Cookies. You may refuse the use of Cookies by following the procedures listed below, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Website. By using or accessing our Website, you are consenting to our use of Cookies as follows:
This policy helps to explain the occasions when and why cookies may be sent to visitors to our Website. “Cookies” are text-only pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other web site browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow the website to remember important information that will make the use of a website more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie and a randomly generated unique number or other value.
Our Website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. We do not store any of this data on our own system or server. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of Cookies. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. We do not use any of the Google Analytics Advertising features or remarketing tools.
Third-party Cookies may also be used by Google Analytics. A list of the Cookies used by Google Analytics can be found here.
How to Opt Out:
Website users who do not want their data collected with Google Analytics can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) running on websites to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics.
To opt-out of Analytics for the web, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page and install the add-on for your browser. For more details on installing and uninstalling the add-on please see the relevant help resources below for your specific browser:
Updates to your browser or operating system may affect the functionality of the opt-out add-on after sending data to Google Analytics. Learn about managing add-ons for Chrome here. If you are not using Chrome, check directly with the manufacturer of your browser to determine whether add-ons will function properly on the browser version that you are using.
The latest versions of Internet Explorer sometimes load the Google Analytics opt-out add-on after sending data to Google Analytics. Therefore, if you are using Internet Explorer, the add-on will set Cookies on your computer. These Cookies ensure that any collected data is immediately deleted from the collection server. Please make sure that third party Cookies aren’t disabled for your Internet Explorer browser. If you delete your Cookies, the add-on will, within a short timeframe, reset these Cookies to ensure that your Google Analytics browser add-on remains fully functional.
The Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytics services.
