Analytics
We do not sell your data to these companies. The only reasons why we share our data with these companies is just for traffic analysis.
We only use Google Analytics to collect data on how our users are using our website and their demographics (age, gender) and interests which enables us to evaluate how our users’ behaviour varies so we can improve our website content, marketing and services for our clients. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website (excluding your IP address as we anonymise it) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. 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 undertakes not to associate your (anonymised) IP address with any other data held by Google.
The Google Analytics features we implement may be based on Display Advertising (e.g. Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting). OR SHOULD WE WRITE: We currently do not implement any Google Analytics features based on Display Advertising.
Users can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using the Ads Settings.
