Cookies and Google Analytics
This site collects non-personal statistical information, such as site traffic and usage patterns, through cookies. A cookie is a small script placed on the hard drive of your computer for the purpose of recognizing you when you return to our website. While these cookies do not provide us with any personal details about you, they help us understand how you use this website such as what links you click and what pages you access on a regular basis. Visitors have the option of accepting or rejecting the use of cookies when they first visit the website.
We analyze cookies using Google Analytics which helps us see what areas of our website are most popular, and what areas of our site need to be improved. Access to Google Analytics is restricted to PLEA, and our web services provider.
Google Analytics uses IP addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of the geographical location of their users. So, when you visit our website, we can determine the general location from which you are visiting. This information helps us diagnose any problems that may arise with the server and adds to the basic statistical information we have on visitor traffic. These IP addresses are not associated with any personally identifiable information.
If you prefer to keep your site usage private, Google has created a browser add-on that blocks sites from keeping track of your interactions. You can download and install this add-on here. We also recommend that users regularly clear their cache, use a VPN and use the safe browsing mode provided by modern browsers.
