To prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. You can also adjust your ad personalisation settings through Google's Ad Settings.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. We currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted.

6. Web Beacons and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. Web beacons allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened. We use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to understand user engagement. Web beacons do not store information on your device directly.
