This Site also uses Google Analytics, a third-party service provided by Google, Inc.

The information generated by these cookies, such as time, place, and frequency of your visits to our site, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google’s location in the US and stored there.

Google automatically collects and stores certain other information in their server logs along with cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your Google Account, in accordance with their data privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google Analytics also offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers
that provides you with more control over what data Google can collect on the websites you access. This can be add-on found at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Additionally, other cookies, log files, or web beacons may be used by other third-parties when you sign in, “like”, repost, share, or comment on this Site using other third-party Social Media service providers.
