The PCI collects information about and tracks website use. Google Analytics is used to help analyze how users use the site. Google Analytics also uses cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors' use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity, which gives PCI the opportunity to identify problems and improve service. The PCI will not use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any personally identifiable information of visitors to our site. Refer to the Google Analytics privacy policy (http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/privacy-policy.html). The PCI will not link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user.
