6. Analytics
Our Site uses two analytics services to understand user behavior and improve our website: Google Analytics and Umami Analytics.
6.1 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies (text files placed on your computer) to help us analyze how users use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States and other countries.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information on how Google collects and processes data, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

All analytics data is stored securely on our own servers and is not shared with any third parties.
Users can also access and view some of the analytics data collected by Umami via the following link: Umami Analytics Dashboard.
By using our Site, you consent to the collection of usage data by Umami Analytics. If you did not accept the Privacy Policy, we won't send any data to Google Analytics.
