Use of Cookies

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to collect information about how visitors use our website. GA4 uses cookies to track user interactions, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and traffic sources.

• Purpose: The data collected by GA4 cookies helps us understand user behavior, improve our website’s functionality, and optimize content. It is used for statistical purposes, such as analyzing trends and measuring site performance.
• Data Collected: GA4 cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and approximate geolocation (e.g., city-level data). This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible to prevent identification of individual users.
• Cookie Names: GA4 uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _ga_[container-id] to store a unique identifier for tracking user sessions and activities.
• Duration: Some GA4 cookies are session-based (expire when you close your browser), while others may persist for up to 2 years to recognize returning users.
