IP Addresses Anonymisation in Analytics

Mediators’ Institute of Ireland website is a customer of Google Analytics which is a freemium web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic.

An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer automatically when you use the internet. When you visit any web page in our website Analytics anonymises the address as soon as technically feasible at the earliest possible stage of the collection network. The IP anonymisation feature in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zeroes in memory shortly after being sent to the Analytics Collection Network. The full IP address is never written to disk in this case.

The process of IP anonymisation in Analytics takes place within two steps in the collection pipeline: the JavaScript Tag and the Collection Network. These steps are explained below.

When IP Anonymisation takes place the last three digits of IP addresses are translated into zero (0) which provides an accurate source of website visitors’ country and less accurate source of city.

Your anonymaised IP address is used only to gather broad demographic information.
