Noooooooooo (An analytics junkie)

  Convince your customers to use self-hosted analytics software instead. Of course you understand the danger of a single entity (google-analytics.com) tracking almost every website you visit. I block it with Ghostery.

    Have you ever tried setting up Piwik? It's terrible software.

      My opinion is different to yours. Piwik with Nginx was easy enough to set up and provides the data I am interested in, including conversions of goals (something I was dubious about before installing). New version even more snazzy than previous.

        Setting up this server-side software requires GUI configuration. That's insane. The code looks nightmarish. I'm sure it's fine from a functional perspective.

    I'm pretty sure I'm screwed when it comes to Google tracking me, between Chrome, Gmail, Google.com, etc... Analytics is the least of my worries.
