6. Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics works using cookies.

Google will not combine the IP address sent by your browser in connection with Google Analytics with other data. If you would like more information on how Google uses data when you visit or use our website, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

7. Other Information
Any personal data that we collect from the application of cookies are stored on servers hosted by our third-party provider in the United States. We retain personal data collected utilizing cookies needed for personalized services where you have consented to use cookies for those purposes, and otherwise only for as long as necessary to aggregate personal data that we use for website performance and audience measurement.
