- icebraining 9y agoNope, just not taken far enough: don't run analytics at all.

- mathieuh 9y agoI have worked and continue to work on several Gov.UK projects and we take steps to ensure that anything that gets sent to GA is as anonymised as possible. Just last week we had a ticket in planning to further improve the anonymity of the data sent to GA for the UK MOT testing service, so it is definitely not like we’re just firing all sorts of data to third parties, we are thinking very hard about this stuff. Preserving our users’ anonymity is one of our major priorities and we actively work to improve how we do this.
