Hide Yourself to your Analytics
This is a way not to count your own visits to your blog. First you should look on how I handle analytics. All analytics are handled in one javascript file, this make things really convenient.
Then you need to know my method use the jquery-cookie
.
I check if the key admin
is not set in the cookie before adding the visit.
var admin = $.cookie('admin'); if (! admin) { // put your analytics code here } else { console.log("[WARNING] you're HIDDEN to analytics"); }
then create two html files. One to hide:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.cookie.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $.cookie('admin',1); $('#info').html('Analytics can no more see you.') }); </script> <title>Hide to analytics</title> </head> <body> <div id="info"></div> </body> </html>
the other to be visible again (it can be useful):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.cookie.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $.cookie('admin',null); $('#info').html('Analytics can see you.') }); </script> <title>Hide to analytics</title> </head> <body> <div id="info"></div> </body> </html>
Now accessing these files with you browser you can hide or appear in your statistics. You just have to think to access these file from all you browser.
