Analytics

Who we share your data with

Like millions of other website owners, we use Google Analytics on cardpayaccept.co.uk

We use Metricool, Bing Webmaster as well as Google Analytics. They track and report website traffic about our visitors (you). It’s something like an advanced server log.

What does Google Analytic, Bing Webmaster Metricool record?

  • What website you came from to get here.
  • Which pages and posts you visit.
  • How long you stay for.
  • What kind of computer you’re using.
  • And quite a bit more.

What do I do with your data?

The tracking information allows us to better understand the kind of people who come to our site, what content they’re reading and which country. This allows us to make better decisions about design and writing.

Occasionally, we will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.

All of my activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.

Metricool can store and use the IP address of the users of this site in order to analyse trends and track overall usage of the website.

Want to opt out of tracking?

You can also opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.
