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.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. Once the cookie is set, the site “knows” that you have been there before and can then use that knowledge to tailor the experience that you have. The vast majority of commercial websites – be they major online publishers, banks or eCommerce sites – will use them.

What Are Cookies Used For?

Cookies are used for many different functions including auto-filling forms, counting visitors, storing shopping basket items, personalizing content, targeting advertising, recording user preferences and authentication and security. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission. You have always been able to turn cookies off and on within your browser.

Cookies play a major role in the functionality of a website, and you can give or deny your consent below. We want to explain in brief, what the types of cookies used on this site are:

  • Necessary – this Website will not function properly without them. You cannot opt-out of these.
