6. How We Use Cookies and Analytic Tools
A cookie is a text file saved to your computer’s hard drive. The text file contains small pieces of data sent by a web server and stored on your computer when you visit certain websites. Your browser can “read” this information when you visit the site again. A cookie cannot access your computer files or hard drive. You may set your computer not to accept cookies.
Cookies are used on this website for visitor tracking only, to distinguish new versus repeat visitors. Cookies are not associated with personally identifiable information.
We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often visitors use this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected by Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
