Analytics
We use Google Analytics as a Service Provider to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
That said, we automatically collect certain information about you through Google Analytics—your computer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser information, Internet Service Provider’s information, your operating system and your browser type. Similarly, Google Analytics collects certain demographic information (such as your location), browsing history, the pages you visit, the device you used to access our website, traffic patterns, and other general patters related to your use of the website. Such information is used to analyze statistics related to user behavior and interests, to improve the website performance, and to improve our services and products.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
