Third party cookies

On the G-Loaded Journal we use some external services in order to collect and process statistical information about the web traffic we receive and also display advertisements throughout the website.

We use Google Analytics to collect information about web traffic and visitor behavior on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how much time you spend on each page, how you got there and what you click on. This data cannot be used to personally identify you. Therefore your personal information, such as your name, is not collected.

We may turn on Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to get an idea of our demographics and user interests.

Opting-out from Google Analytics as a visitor is possible by installing and activating a web browser extension provided by Google itself. Please read more details about the functionality of this add-on.
