This post is just a shortened version of my last journal entry, in case the more paranoid individuals want to stop being tracked immediately but don't want to read about why they shouldn't really be worried about this.

To opt out of Analytics tracking, go to ( tools.google.com/dlpage/gaopto… ) and install their browser add-on for every browser you use, on every computer you use. Disabling Javascript and disabling cookies will also prevent Analytics from tracking you properly.

Google's privacy statements about Analytics can be viewed here: www.google.com/analytics/learn…

To opt out of other Google tracking behavior, here's one other link for you (  www.google.com/settings/u/0/ad… ). Enjoy!

And really, there are probably many more things that it is more important for you to opt out of. So you should Google around for what those are and how to do them. ;)

Whether or not you opt out of having your behavior tracked, you can still use Analytics to market yourself and your art, to get more viewers and more watchers.  If you're interested in doing that, start with my earlier post.  My next post will detail how to start using this information to your advantage, and how to start having some fun with Analytics.
