Analytics cookies can collect general information about website activity. This information may include pages viewed, visit duration, traffic sources, browser type, device type, and general interaction patterns.

It does not necessarily require a visitor’s name or direct identity. The information collected depends on the analytics provider and its settings.
Performance Cookies
