I finally got rid of Google Analytics in my personal sites, after a few weeks side to side with self-hosted Matomo, and I'm not looking back. Ethical issues aside, I hadn't realised how overly complicated Google platform is until I saw the nicely displayed information that Matomo provides. It might be worth if you're a SEO expert, but Google Analytics is plain useless for a regular human.

Auf meiner Website läuft ohne meine Wissen Google Analytics.

Eigentlich muss ich es doch aktiviert haben, aber ich kann mich daran nicht erinnern und wüsste nicht warum. Einen Google Account habe ich nicht. Da ich die Seite über 10 Jahre habe, kann ich aber auch nicht ausschließen, dass ich mal was probiert habe, warum auch immer.

Kann es am Seitenbetreiber liegen?

Wie kriege ich es entfernt?

Ich habe dazu bereits gesucht und Tips gefunden. Aber den HTML Code entfernen lässt mein Account wohl nicht zu.

Notice of Data Breach from Blue Shield:

"On February 11, 2025, Blue Shield discovered that, between April 2021 and January 2024, Google Analytics was configured in a way that allowed certain member data to be shared with Google’s advertising product, Google Ads, that likely included protected health information. Google may have used this data to conduct focused ad campaigns targeted back to you.”
