Google Analytics
Google Analytics Disclaimer
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the Google Analytics’ cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Opting out
Users of this website can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing this browser plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB
In case they choose opt-out, they will receive an opt-out cookie so that their decision is remembered. If they regularly delete their cookies, they will need to opt-out each time they delete them.
Restricted access to information
All analytics data communication is encrypted via HTTPS protocol.

Masking of IP addresses
Note: Institution, city and country origin are determined from the full IP, then stored and aggregated before a mask is applied. Google Analytics uses an IP de-identification mechanism that automatically masks a portion of each visitor's IP (Internet Protocol), effectively making it impossible to identify a particular visitor via the sole IP address.
Visitor logs
Google Analytics automatically deletes user’s logs after 25 months. Anonymised and aggregated data are stored for an indefinite period by the University for analysis purposes.
