The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website. Google allows you to opt-out of some of their services by using your personal Google settings. For example, visitors can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads.
