We do not store raw IP addresses for analytics, do not try to identify unique visitors, and do not use these statistics for advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking.
We may infer broad audience interest from the selected language of pages viewed, but we do not infer visitor country from IP addresses for analytics.
