You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a tag management system to manage JavaScript and HTML tags used for tracking and analytics on websites.

Google Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage tags on our website.

Google Tag Manager does not collect any personal information. The tool will trigger other tags that may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have performed deactivation, Google Tag Manager takes this into account.
