Third party cookies – Google Analytics

In addition to our own cookies, we use Google Analytics to measure how visitors use our website. This information is used to ensure the site is meeting the needs of its users and to help us make improvements.

Google Analytics stores the following anonymous visit information:

• the pages you visit on origincare.com and how long you spend on each
• how you got to the site
• what you click on while you are visiting the site

We do not collect or store your personal information (eg your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

Additionally, we do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data.

In order to properly manage our website we may record information anonymously on our operational systems, and identify categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types. These statistics are only available for analysis and do not contain any information that identifies individual users of the website. This is to ensure that our website presents the best web experience for visitors and is an effective information resource.
