Google Signals data collection

Our Site may use Google Signals, a product that integrates with Google Analytics and can enable cross-device reporting through the use of first- and third-party cookies.

  • Advertising-related features that may be used with Google Signals include:
    • Remarketing with Google Analytics.
    • Google Display Network Impression Reporting.
    • Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting.
    • Integrated services that require Google Analytics to collect data for advertising purposes, including the collection of data via advertising cookies and identifiers.
  • This data can be accessed and deleted via My Activity.
  • Visitors to this Site can opt-out of Google Analytics advertising features that may be used via Ads Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps and other available opt-outs including the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Website analytics

Our Site may use third-party analytics services. Website analytics refers to a set of tools used to collect and analyse anonymous usage information, enabling us to better understand how our Site is used. This, in turn, can help us improve the Site and the products and/or services offered through it.

Analytics services used by our Site may use analytics cookies to gather the required information.

First-party visit analytics

Our Site may also use a short-lived first-party browser storage token to help measure page and post visits. This token is used only to reduce duplicate counts during a browsing session, is not shared across other websites, and is not used for cross-site tracking.

When this feature is enabled, the information recorded for this purpose is limited to the page or post viewed, the time of the visit, and a pseudonymous hash derived from that temporary on-site token so repeated visits can be deduplicated. This feature does not store raw IP addresses, device type, browser, or operating system data, and we make reasonable efforts to exclude administrative editing sessions, preview requests, and known automated crawler traffic from these counts.
