About Google Analytics

Like most websites around the world, we use Google Analytics (GA) to process information about the number of visitors on our site, and their behavior.

We use this information to record the number of people using The Purple Pumpkin Blog and to better understand where you discover our site (from social media, Google or another site) and how you use it as well as to see how people move throughout the site.

GA records your approximate location down to the town level, the type device you are using e.g. mobile or table, name of device e.g. iPad or Samsung Galaxy, etc., operating system e.g. Windows 10 or iOS and browser e.g. Firefox or Chrome. None of this data can be used to identify you.

Google does record your IP address however, we don’t have access to this information and it modifies it so that you cannot be identified specifically, just the area that you are in.

Review of Anonymous Data from Google Analytics

We are committed to ensuring that our Website contains content that is valuable and useful to our readers. To help us with this we have implemented the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting features on our Website. These tools allow us to review anonymous data regarding the gender, age, and interests of Website visitors and adapt our Website content to better reflect their needs. Although this information is collected through your Google ad settings, it is not provided to us in a personally-identifiable format. This means we cannot identify what information is about you, and we will not try to figure it out.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customise Google Display Network ads using the Google Ad settings or through the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To do this Google Analytics uses a “cookie” on your machine. You can read more about cookies in the Cookies Policy section.
