This website uses various web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and other measurement tools (like Microsoft Clarity) to help analyze how users use the site.
Cookies were originally designed to help a website distinguish a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember visitor behavior information in an anonymous form and any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address.
The Kitsap Brain Injury website uses Google Analytics to understand how people are using the website and identify areas that can be improved or removed. The Google analytics cookie is used to produce statistics on how the site is used. You can read more about how Google uses your information here. Amazon Web Services (AWS) information on cookies can be found here.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and sometimes other vendors. This information is then used to evaluate visitors use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.
However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by our websites, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. The “Help” function within your browser should tell you how.

No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
