We collect this data to better understand how our visitors use our website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website.
We may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to the website. For instance, we may monitor the most popular parts of the website. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others.
