Analytics

By default WordPress does not collect any analytics data. However, many web hosting accounts collect some anonymous analytics data.

This site will use Google Analytics. This tracks website usage and provides information such as referring websites (e.g., “top referrers”) and user actions (e.g., “average time on site” and “number of pages per visit”). This site’s Google Analytics are set up to anonymize your IP address. No other personal information is gathered. However, for the most accurate and up-to-date info about Google Analytics, refer to Google’s website and privacy policy, where you can also obtain info on how users can opt-out of analytics tracking: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

We chose Google Analytics because so many people use Google. Google Analytics helps us determine which posts and pages are of greatest interest to people.

Nonetheless, all Internet users concerned about privacy issues may wish to consider making their default browser one that does not track, such as Duck Duck Go: https://duckduckgo.com.
