GA4 may collect information such as your IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This information is collected in an aggregated and anonymized or pseudonymized manner where possible. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
