Stop N770 blogs using Google Analytics (without info)
 

I am really pissed about noticing, that some N770 blogs use Google Analytics without telling their visitors this.
This is not only a question of fairness, it is also //*edited.
I am sure most of them did this without evil intention.

In intention of making people sensible for privacy rights, I start posting the concerned blogs here and will delete the entries if fixed.
Feel free to add your N770-related sites you found.

(btw: I now prevent Analytics with my hosts-file.)

I don't understand. Why is this a problem?

I'm also curious why you don't like analytics since I use it on some of my sites.

I am surprised, and that you can't imagine what the problem about this is shows me how important it is to bring this up for discussion. I am in a hurry and will give more details tomorrow. (I hope that I am not the only one here with this point of view. PLEASE)

sounds like somebody is into conspiracies ;)

sounds like he thinks this is a breach of privicy.

(from google analytics)
"Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site".

Haha. Well actually, ALL cpanel compatible servers have approximately 5-7 different visitor monitoring systems in place (similar to this). They tell you everything your visitors viewed, everything they did, where they come from, how they came from, their browser, IP's, EVERYTHING. So honestly, this isn't something that is new...

yeah lol like i said earlier.
But if you are scared of this sort of thing, the internet just isnt for you.

Google Analytics doesn't tell the site owner anything they couldn't have worked out anyway. The question is whether or not it tells Google things they shouldn't know, and what they do with that information. If they do (or will in future) process that information to make you as a site visitor a more valuable ad viewer, does it bother you?

@kutibah
There is an enormous difference if you have
a) Millions of independent servers or
b) one company holding all this data
