Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page.
The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP cookies to “remember” what a user has done on previous pages / interactions with the website.
For full details on what and how this information is used please see Google Analytic’s own privacy policy which is accessible at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with

We share some automatically collected information regarding your usage of this website with Google as described in the “Google Analytics” section of this page.
How long we retain your data
