Google Analytics – https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Analytics operates a data retention policy. Currently, for this website, the user-level and event-level data associated with cookies, user identifiers, or advertising identifiers are retained for 26 months before being deleted on a monthly basis. Other aggregate data (from which it is not possible to personally indentify individual users) is retained indefinitely.

These plugins are used for the purpose of analysing website traffic. They collect non-personally-identifying information that is usually made available via web browsers.
I may occasionally publish information about the global traffic on this website in a way that does not identify any individual visitor. This information is gathered for the purposes of monitoring the popularity of the different pages on this website.
