This site uses cookies via Google Analytics primarily in order to understand how users interact and engage with this website. Here is how Google describes cookies:

“Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. They help that website remember information about your visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you. Similar technologies, including unique identifiers used to identify an app or device, pixel tags, and local storage, can perform the same function.”

The main reason this site uses cookies is for analytics, but you can read about other ways cookies for this site can be used here. In addition to analytics, they could be used for advertising, security, personalization, and enhancing site functionality.

The easiest way to manage your cookies is through your browser, and you can read about that here:

“Most browsers allow you to manage how cookies are set and used as you’re browsing, and to clear cookies and browsing data. Also, your browser may have settings letting you manage cookies on a site-by-site basis. For example, Google Chrome’s settings at chrome://settings/cookies allow you to delete existing cookies, allow or block all cookies, and set cookie preferences for websites. Google Chrome also offers Incognito mode, which deletes your browsing history and clears cookies from the Incognito windows on your device after you close all of your Incognito windows.”

You can read more about how to manage cookies on this page that I linked to earlier. You can also read more information about how Google uses data from its services here, and how you can control the data it collects. And here is a page that has further information about how Google Analytics uses your data.

Finally, here is the official Google Privacy Policy for more information on how they may use your data.
