Information the site owner gathers: Google Analytics
The site owner keeps the standard log information such as visitor IP address, browser, operating system, and the date and time of the visit. The site owner does not collect personal information such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, or telephone numbers.
Furthermore, the site owner uses Google Analytics, which uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions.
