This anonymous information is used to evaluate visitors' use of the websites and to compile statistical reports on site activity. The aggregate data and statistical reports are used to help us make our sites more useful to visitors.
If you wish, you may opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics by disabling or refusing the cookies; by disabling JavaScript within your browser; or by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. You have the ability to decline providing the information by refusing cookies in your browser. However, this may prevent personalized services from being provided and you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features available.
