Our Google Analytics user-level and event-level data retention period is set to 14 months. Google advises that this retention setting does not affect standard aggregated reports, which may remain available for a longer period.
For more information, review Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies and Your Choices
We use a consent tool to ask whether you want to permit optional analytics cookies.
- If you select Accept analytics, Google Analytics is allowed to begin collecting measurement data.
- If you select Decline, Google Analytics tracking is not activated.
- You may reopen Cookie preferences and change your selection.

If Analytics is accepted, Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and related cookies. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Deleting cookies may cause the website to ask for your preference again.
Google offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for visitors who want to prevent Google Analytics measurement across participating websites.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before your preference was changed.
