Google Analytics loads on every page but stays in a restricted state until you allow analytics cookies. In that state it sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, though it still contacts Google's servers, which means your IP address reaches them.
Managing cookies
When the banner appears you can accept everything, reject the optional categories, or choose each one. To change or withdraw your choice later, use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. You can also allow, block and delete cookies in your browser settings.
For those who prefer not to have their data collected by Google Analytics, browser plugins are available for disabling. More details can be found at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Blocking the installation of analytics cookies, as described in this policy, does not hinder the effective use of the website.
