Compiler Explorer uses Google Analytics, which in turn uses cookies. Google Analytics allows us to see how many
individual users of Compiler Explorer there are, how often users visit us, the average amount of time spent on the
site, the frequency and distribution of compilers selections, and so on. It is invaluable in helping us make
decisions in prioritising work on the site. It's important to note that these cookies are anonymous: we don't know
who each individual user is. Our Google Analytics settings prevent data being retained for more than 14 months. The
cookie stored is a first party cookie: you will find it in your browser under "godbolt.org" cookies.
