Optional analytics uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to count page visits and navigation. It may collect cookie identifiers, browser and device information, and approximate location. Data is sent to Google and may be processed outside Canada. It loads only after you allow it.

Google Analytics excludes private pages and does not intentionally receive names, email addresses, post content or URL search terms. We do not use it for advertising personalization.
