How to opt out of Google Analytics cookies
In order to provide website visitors with more choice on how data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to stop data being sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not affect usage of websites in any other way. A link to further information on the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is provided here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=None
For more information on the use of cookies by Google Analytics please see the Google website. A link to the privacy advice for this product is provided below for your convenience: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html
