Cookies and Website Analytics
C. Gockel uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the Site, and how long they stay. Google Analytics is loaded through Google Tag Manager, which itself does not collect personal information.
Google Analytics sets two cookies on your browser, named “ga” and “ga_” followed by an identifier. These cookies contain a randomly generated number that distinguishes your browser from others. They do not contain your name, email address, or other information you have entered on the Site. Google Analytics does not store your full IP address.
The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google’s handling of this information is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. C. Gockel uses this information only to produce aggregate reports about Site usage and does not use it to identify individual visitors.
You may decline analytics cookies in any of the following ways:
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Set your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being set. Instructions vary by browser and are available in your browser’s help documentation.
- Delete existing cookies at any time through your browser settings.
The Site will continue to work if you decline cookies. C. Gockel does not use advertising or retargeting cookies on the Site. If that changes, this policy will be updated and the change noted here.
Third-party sites you reach by clicking links on the Site, including Amazon, may set their own cookies once you arrive there. Those cookies are controlled by the third party and are subject to that site’s privacy policy.
