What are cookies?
A cookie is a small block of data that may be stored on your browser when you visit a website.
There are two types of cookies depending on how long they last:
Session cookies are created when you start to interact with a website and they exist only during
your browser session. These cookies are stored in temporary memory and are deleted when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies are actually stored on the browser of your device and have an expiration date.
The information stored in these cookies can be retrieved when you revisit the website.
There are also two types of cookies depending on the domain to which they belong:
First-party cookies are set for the domain of the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies belong to a domain other than the domain of the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies may be set when a website uses a third-party service, such as online advertising.
In terms of purpose or function, cookies can be divided into two broad categories:
Essential cookies, also referred to as
strictly necessary cookies,
are technically required for the operation of a website.

Google Analytics
Why we use Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google. Its main purpose is to track and report website
traffic.
Our use of Google Analytics serves the following purposes:
1) to analyze the basic page view patterns and statistics
2) to determine how we can improve the site
3) to ensure that our web hosting arrangements are suitable for our traffic
How Google Analytics uses cookies and data
Since Google Analytics functions on our website as a third-party service, we have no control over its use of cookies.
We also have no control over the collection, storage, and use of information by Google Analytics.
Google has an informative resource that explains
how Google uses information from websites
or apps that use Google services, including Google Analytics.

Opt-out tools
In response to growing privacy concerns among Internet users, regulators in different countries and
jurisdictions have introduced laws on data protection and privacy. Examples of such laws include
the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
A growing number of countries have enacted their own information privacy laws - Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA),
and Japan (APPI), just to name a few. Some countries are also reforming their laws to match the GDPR.
As a result of these legal developments, owners and operators of websites are required to post
a
transparent privacy policy that explains their data practices, including the use of cookies.
The policy should also disclose the use of third-party services (vendors and ad networks) and provide links
to the websites of the corresponding third parties.
Most importantly, end users must be provided with reliable
tools for controlling privacy settings.
The following list shows several ways how you can
opt out of cookies or
control the use of your data:
- Ad Settings
allows you to control ad personalization on websites and apps that use Google ad services. Ad personalization
can also be controlled in Google Search and YouTube.
-
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is browser plugin developed by Google that
prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics (a web analytics service used by many websites).
The plugin is compatible with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
- Private Browsing is a privacy feature available in most web browsers.
It allows you to open a "private window" in which the browser will not save your browsing history, cookies,
and information entered in forms. Make sure you read the details displayed after you open a "private window".
If you intend to use private browsing in Chrome, read
Incognito mode in Chrome.
- Blocking cookies in web browsers
Every browser allows you to clear your browsing history, cached files, and cookies. In addition, most browsers
can be configured to block cookies (third-party or all). Please note that blocking all cookies
is not recommended, because it could negatively impact the usability of many websites.
If you use Chrome, read about
managing cookies in Chrome.
- My Activity is a tool
that allows Google Account holders to review and manage their activity saved in their
Google accounts. The information can be deleted selectively.
