So from the other side of things…I build and run all the client-facing websites for a midsize organization. The communications team insists on embedding google analytics and are totally seduced by the fine-grained user tracking and pretty graphs. I could give two shits, and we don’t use the data for anything that we can’t get from server logs. When I try to point this out, I can’t make it past the “well, everyone else does it” wall when making the privacy case. I don’t want to push too hard. as I already, ironically, have a reputation as the office troglodyte…
