Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool used on this website. This tool generates statistics on traffic and volume of visits for the site. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to collect information about users’ interactions with the websites of Google Analytics clients. It uses a set of cookies to gather information and provide usage statistics for sites without Google personally identifying each visitor.
The primary cookie used by Google Analytics is “_ga,” which allows the service to distinguish one visitor from another and has a duration of 2 years. It is used by all sites where Google Analytics is implemented, including Google services. Each “_ga” cookie is unique to a specific property, so it cannot be used to track a user or browser across unrelated websites. Users can disable all cookies or delete specific cookies.
Users can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which allows them to reject analytics cookies from this service across all browsers. You can find more information at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page.
If users want more information about the data protection measures applied by Google Analytics or updated details about the privacy policies and security measures implemented by Google Analytics, they can access the following link: Safeguarding you data – Analytics Help.
