When you are answering the Privacy Policy questionnaire, you will be asked whether you use Google Analytics or any other type of analytics program. Website analytics services collect certain data about users of your website and can show you valuable insights about how people use your website such as:
- What pages of your website they visited and how much time they spent on those pages;
- How many people visited your website this month;
- How people find your website (e.g. they searched on Google or through your LinkedIn page);
- What countries the website visitors reside in.
Most analytics services, including Google Analytics, required in their Terms of Service that any website that has analytics installed has an appropriate disclosure in their Privacy Policy. If you are unsure if your website has analytics installed, we recommend that you contact your website developer or follow these instructions to check: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1032399?hl=en.
We provide you with three answer options to this question:
- Google Analytics: select this option if your website uses Google Analytics;
- No: select this option if your website does not have any analytics programs installed;
- Other: select this option if you use multiple analytics programs. If you do select this option, you will be prompted to enter each type of analytics that you use, separated by a comma and space.
