Google Analytics?
< on 11/21/2005 11:28 AM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
Upon my most recent login, I noticed that my script popup-blocker symbol changed, indicating that something had changed. When I clicked on the icon, it indicated that google-analytics.com was blocked. I had already allowed uer.ca to run scripts, but I am now surprised that google-analytics is involved.

Can anyone explain what's going on here?

Google Analytics is a free website tracking tool. It seems Av is now using it on UER.

Script blocker? Ooh, the perils of javascript. Mothers, lock up your daughters!

Anyway, yes, I am testing out the new Google Analytics.

Just wondering... Does Google Analytics phone home?

I never trust a company that big. Especially one that prides themselves in knowing *everything*.

Oh, take off your tinfoil hats and stop being silly. Of course it "phones home" -- how else does it get statistics? But all it gathers is where you came from and what browser you are using and the sort of thing normal statistics gather.

Do you really think that a relatively small company cares about *YOU* that much? Sorry, but you're just not that important.

I like my tinfoil hat, thank you very much. I think it makes me look sexy, dont you?
And google does care about me, I have picked up on conversations with my foil hat, so I know firsthand.

I was just curious, actually... never heard of Google Analytics prior to this.

P.S.: In case anyone's interested, the Reverend Kitty (pictured in my avatar) has his hat double-lined with tinfoil--no point taking chances, eh?

I'm shure it doesn't actually collect personal info, hell I don't care as I don't do anything financial or extremely personal on this box anyways.

Just thought I'd add my two cents now, Google seems to have held to it's morals. But there *are* plenty of internet companies that would gladly sell your information to the highest bidder.

Your cat is beautiful, I have a black long hair cat named Bificus that looks just like yours. I see your cat is very smart and double lining just too be safe.

Hey Av, what do you think of the Google Analytics? Been thinking of trying it at work and knowing someone who is trying makes me have to ask...
