That seems to be a common way to describe such usage to make it sound more positive. The truth of "we are exposing your data to Google to gain a bunch of mostly useless statistics while helping them to surveil all your online activity" doesn't sound so good.
- danpalmer 3y ago"This site uses Google Analytics to inform service improvements" is quite positive. It's the "partner" bit that I thought was particularly strange. I don't partner with my local coffee shop each morning. It comes across as bigging-up what's actually happening so far beyond reality that it's somewhat comical.
