> 1. Sharing them with Google, trough GA
I have a blog post I'm thinking about writing about this due to launching my last app.
It's basically impossible to make everyone happy so much so that it's a bit of an absurdism.
There are people that don't want to be tracked, then there are people that don't want to be tracked by a specific company because they are doing a boycott.
- MayeulC 6y agoOh, right, hence the customization options. Defaulting to no tracking is likely a sane choice. Let me insist that I am okay with statistics, but against tracking. GA is tracking. I do opt-in into statistics in software like Mozilla Firefox, etc. I just don't want to be tracked. I'm fine with giving away some information about myself so that websites know my 1680x1050 resolution is still being used, or that someone still uses Firefox, or on which page I landed, if I visited a few more pages. But nobody needs to know exactly what websites I visited today, where I ate, when I woke up, etc. It's my business and only mine. Would you be interested in such data about me? If not, why would you help Google achieve that very goal? Other trackers (twitter, facebook, most other social networks, analytics companies and advertiser networks) are just the same to me. But maybe some people boycott Google specifically.
