When your tracking software doesn't work

To be honest Google analytics is mostly used to get usage statistics about your site. It's useful if you want to improve the UX

@Froot I still think that the user should at least be notified that this is being used

@Froot not true. At least for me 😎

I used it instead of a db once in order to store emails submitted in a promotion for some company's landing site. Talk about purely a front-end stack.

The client had all the emails submitted from the page as tracking events of google analytics. So in the end the client had the ability to sort and filter the results by time and geolocation from google analytics.

@bioDan Hmmm that's quite a curious way of using it. I like it

@404response Ye probablly a notification would be good

@Froot Yeah, by law websites have to notify you about cookies but not about stuff like this

@404response but which law if the:
Developer is in China
Hosting company is in Zimbabwe
Servers are in Inceland
Company is in France
User is in Nevada

@bioDan Probablly Nevada. I think that's how most laws work these days. I know... It sucks ass

@Froot not in the laws of Zimbabwe, China, and France or am i wrong 😂

Just kidding.. But i do wonder about these stuff sometimes.

Anyway i think privacy is long gone for the majority of the population in western countries anyway.

@bioDan yeah it's kinda sad and the laws that the government makes are more anti- privacy

Sorry for the analytics users but I block *google* so this won't reach my router 😁

@linuxxx sadly I have not reached this level yet ;/
