1.3.3. Google Analytics
Buckthorn Partners uses Google Analytics. More information about how Google Analytics is used by BPLLP can be found here: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html
To provide website visitors with more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google have developed the Google Analytics Opt−out Browser Add−on. The add−on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt−out Browser Add−on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or to other web analytics services.
