IP Address Information and Other Information Collected Automatically
Finally, we may collect non-personal identifiable information when you visit our Site, such as your IP address. Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us.
IP Address Information:

We use GA cookies to enable our servers to recognize your web browser and tell us how and when you visited the Site and otherwise use the Services through the Internet. Google’s cookies do not, by themselves, contain Personal Information and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are.
