Anonymous analytics cookies:
Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by a third party (for example, Google Analytics) generates an anonymous analytics cookie. Google Analytics tracking (and most web tracking software) uses cookies in order to provide meaningful reports about site visitors. Your browser will tell Google Analytics if you have these cookies, and if you don't, Google Analytics generates new ones. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, and how often they visit the site.
However, Google Analytics cookies do not collect personal data about our website visitors.
