Google Analytics is a website that allows me, the website owner, to check my website’s performance in terms of audience and popularity.

This information is invaluable for me as it helps me to carry on creating the best possible content that’s relevant to my readers. Once again, this data is collected anonymously.

However, you do have the choice to opt out of using cookies. Although cookies are designed to give the reader the best possible user experience, it is possible to deny their use. The easiest and most effect way to do this is to disable cookie usage on your browser.
