  • No Personal Data Collection: Umami does not collect personally identifiable information

3.2 Google Analytics (If Implemented)

We may implement Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to help us understand how visitors use our Site.

Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as:
