What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses ("third-party cookies").

Opt-Out of Analytics Tracking
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your website visits.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals, but we will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.
