“The solution was obvious, remove GA from my site. However, I
didn’t want to lose the valuable information that it provides me
with. Also, I don’t have a problem with site owners collecting data
that can help them, just with them sharing it with 3rd parties such
as Google, who then build it into their larger profiling efforts. A
quick search turned up Piwik which aims to provide a full featured
GA replacement that you can run on your own server. Because site
owners run their own instances, they remain in charge of their
tracking of users, retain ownership of the data and best of all
don’t give any data to Google.“With the aim of responsible and unobtrusive tracking in mind
I’ve added a page to my site to allow users to Opt-out of the Piwik
tracking by means of a cookie. The link is also accessible from the
sidebar under the copyright notice. I’m afraid some of the text on
that page is pretty difficult to see with my current theme, but I’m
working on this. For now just uncheck the check box to
opt-out.”
